Consequences of using overlays on welded joints

Main Article Content

Kwiryn Wojsyk

Abstract

The article refers to an earlier publication regarding "reinforcing" overlays on welded joints. In this context, the main principles of designing welded structures were reminded. To verify the principle of not using overlays on the welds, an FEM simulation of such a model was performed. Simulation proved that weld overlays used in plate girder structures are ballast, because they do not participate in stress transfer when tensile is dominant. In addition, they generate a stress concentration in the corner of the pad, which greatly reduces the time to fatigue failure of the structure. A list of the recommendations, requirements for the correct use of overlays on welded joints is given.
