Safety factor in weld joint
◦ Welding-distortion or deformation or warping of elements
during welding is a natural outcome of intrinsic non uniform
heating and cooling of the joint. The distortion energy theory
says that failure occurs due to distortion of a part. Distortion
energy theory is
Where = Yield Strength of the material part.
Eccentric static load, F is
Where = safety factor
