Transverse shrinkage in T-joint with Two Fillets Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Transverse Shrinkage of T-Joint = (1.02*Length of Fillet Leg in T-Joint)/Thickness of Bottom Plate
s_t = (1.02*h_t)/t_b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Transverse Shrinkage of T-Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Transverse Shrinkage of T-Joint is a shrinkage of the metal result of contraction of the base metal.
Length of Fillet Leg in T-Joint - (Measured in Meter) - Length of fillet leg in T-Joint is the length of corner of a joint made of two pieces placed at approximately 90 degrees to each other.
Thickness of Bottom Plate - (Measured in Meter) - Thickness of Bottom Plate is the thickness of the plate that is being welded and placed flat on ground.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Length of Fillet Leg in T-Joint: 0.01 Millimeter --> 1E-05 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Bottom Plate: 3 Millimeter --> 0.003 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

s_t = (1.02*h_t)/t_b --> (1.02*1E-05)/0.003

Evaluating ... ...

s_t = 0.0034

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.0034 Meter -->3.4 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

3.4 Millimeter <-- Transverse Shrinkage of T-Joint

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is called Distortion in welding terms ?

One of the major problems found with weldments is the distortion. Distortion is caused mainly because of the shrinkage that take place in weldments. The shrinkage taking place in a weldment depends upon the geometry and type of the weld. There are three types of distortions possible in weldments.

(a) Transverse shrinkage occurring perpendicular to the weld line.
(b) Longitudinal shrinkage occurring parallel to the weld line, which is very small of the order of about 0.1% of the weld length and hence can be neglected.
(c) Angular change as a rotation about the weld line.
