    Welding causes distortion due to uneven heating and cooling of metal. There are three main types of distortion: angular distortion occurs when welding a tee joint and pulls the vertical plate toward the welded side; lateral distortion happens when welding plates side by side and causes the plates to pull inward or overlap; and longitudinal distortion also results from one-sided welding of plates and makes the plate curl upward toward the weld. To control distortion, welders must be aware of how each type of distortion occurs so they can address it during the welding process.

    Welding Distortion

    When metal is heated it expands and when it is


    cooled it contracts.(expansion and contraction)
    Distortion is caused by the uneven heating and
    cooling of metal. Welding always causes
    distortion. It is important for the person performing
    the welding operation to be aware of the three main
    types of distortion and how they can be controlled.
    Angular Distortion is created when welding a tee
    joint. If a weld is deposited on one side only, the
    results will be that the vertical plate will be pulled
    from 90 degrees toward the welded side.

    Lateral Distortion is created


    when welding plates side by
    side. The expansion and
    contraction is across the weld.
    As the weld continues along
    the length of the plates the
    plates pull inward. The plates
    will scissor or overlap onto
    each other.
    Longitudinal Distortion can
    also occur when welding plates side by side
    and when the weld is deposited on one side
    only. The expansion and contraction is along
    the length of the plate. A curling action will
    pull the plate upward toward the weld.
    Questions;
    1. What happens when metal is heated?.
    2. What causes distortion?
    3. How can distortion be controlled?
