Factors of influence on the welding quality

Residual welding stresses

Excessively high residual welding stresses may considerably reduce the strength and service life of a welding seam and therefore lead to premature failure. Experience shows that residual welding stresses in welding procedures according to DVS-guidelines are within the uncritical range.
