Abstract

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of forming residual stresses on the electron beam welding distortions of thick components building up the ITER vacuum vessel. The deformed shape of a thick plate is obtained by a three point rolling process. The numerical simulation of this process is then performed to evaluate the induced residual stresses. Forming residual stresses are taken into account as initial conditions for the welding simulation of two deformed thick plates. A simulation is finally performed to evaluate the influence of the forming residual stresses on the welding distortions.
