Study of the TIG Welding Process of Thin-Walled Components Made of 17-4 PH Steel in the Aspect of Weld Distortion Distribution.

This article presents the results of a study on the distribution of weld distortion in thin-walled components made of 17-4 PH steel, resulting from TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding. Both manual and automatic welding processes were examined. Physical simulation of the automated welding process was conducted on a custom-built welding fixture.
