I girders welding problems
I girders welding problems
(OP)
Hi every one,
I have been welding I girders using SAW and GMAW process. I weld ASTM A36 steel using E70xx electrodes, but the girders twist or bend after the weld. What can I do to avoid this problem? There is any book where I can find out how to solve this problem.
Thanks for your reply

You may try it by having one weld slightly leading the second weld.

And you could still, with a thin flange, have the flange cup inwards toward the welds, which is probably what unclesyd is referring to.
