Integrating Finite Element Simulation with Actual GTAW Weld Profiles to Optimize Root Height in Stainless Steel 316L Pipe Joints

March 12, 2026 2:01 pm
Weld root reinforcement is a critical geometric parameter governing stress concentration and structural performance in thin-walled stainless-steel piping systems designed to ASME B31.3. While current codes specify permissible dimensional limits, they do not explicitly quantify how incremental variations in root height influence stress distribution under realistic service loading conditions. This...Read More
