BASIC WELDING
D. Presetting
It is possible in some cases to tell from past experi-
ence or to find by trial and error (or less frequently,
to calculate) how much distortion will take place in a
given welded structure. By correct pre-setting of the
components to be welded, constructional stresses
can be made to pull the parts into correct alignment.
A simple example is shown in Figure 4-31.
E. Preheating
Suitable preheating of parts of the structure other
than the area to be welded can be sometimes used to
reduce distortion. Figure 4-32 shows a simple applica-
tion. By removing the heating source from b and c as
soon as welding is completed, the sections b and c
will contract at a similar rate, thus reducing distortion.
