understanding of the residual stress fields associated with Tungsten Inert Gas
(TIG) welding, thermal analysis was carried out using Solid Works 2017 version
and ESI Visual-Environment to compute the transient temperature profile due to
welding thermal loading and resulting stress field in three categories namely;
von-mises stress, axial stress and thermal stress. </span> <span style="line-height:107%;"> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us">A range of welding temperatures

to measure the thermal stresses induced in the steel plate which the average

in finite element simulation of the same plate dimension, and average von-mises
stress of </span> <span style="line-height:107%;">37,508 MPa </span> <span lang="en-us" xml:lang="en-us" style="line-height:107%;">, average axial stress of 30,732 MPa and average
thermal stress of 20,101 MPa was obtained. However, it was observed that the
higher the welding temperature, the higher the stresses induced in the welding
material. Hence, temperature for TIG welding process should be regulated at its
optimum to avoid </span> <span style="line-height:107%;">fatigue acceleration,
stress propagation, early crack nucleation and possible fracture on the welded
component which may limit the longevity and performance of such component in
