Distortion through welding
• Welding and other manufacturing processes where heat is introduced will leave stresses in the metal during subsequent cooling, causing distortion or warping
• Distortion can be unsightly, prevent correct fit and even add weakness to the assembly

Overview – Ship Building
• Despite improvements in manufacturing techniques the ship-building industry is hugely affected by distortion
“Typically figures of 25,000-30,000 man-hours have been quoted for the heat straightening cost for frigates and offshore patrol vessels…” ¹

Overview – Ship Building
“..it has been estimated that the total could be up to ten times the heat straightening figures, once factors such as schedule interruptions, stripping down equipment, repainting etc are taken into consideration.” ¹

Thermal forming / straightening
• Strategically heating metals with or without mechanical force is used to bend plates, beams, pipes etc
• Straightening (by heat) is mainly done by shortening (shrinking) of the long areas / surfaces (Picture shows straightening by flame)
![Page 8: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Thermal straightening – by flame
• The traditional method of straightening plates in ship-building is to use a flame on the convex surfaces of distorted areas
• The heated zone is quite shallow and on cooling, the heated side of the plate contracts more than the “cold” side
• Shrinkage of the surface causes excess material to expand vertically
• Typically used on >5mm plate
![Page 9: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Thermal straightening – by flame
By heating a number of areas the plate can be flattened
![Page 10: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Thermal straightening – by flame
Shrinking of surface to straighten the bulge
• Adds stress to (and shrinks) the treated surface
• Requires skilled operators• Risk of overheating of the
surface– Hydrogen ingress
• Noisy• Heating-up of the local
environment• Toxic fumes
Flame straightening can only be achieved when heating from the convex side
![Page 11: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” method
• Using a “straight edge”
![Page 12: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” method
• Mechanical force to pull the sheet against the straight edge
![Page 13: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” method
• 25 – 50mm stitch welds to keep the plate “straight”
![Page 14: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” method
• Apply heat (by flame) to keep the plate straight before removing the straight edge using grinders
![Page 15: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” method 2
• Weld bolts to the affected area
![Page 16: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Alternative “traditional” methods
• Requires skilled operators
• Very hard work• Time consuming• Sacrificial materials• Noisy• Unsightly results

Thermal straightening – by induction
• The inductor generates an eddy current in the steel plate, which generates a rapid heat increase to a concentrated heating zone.
• The Terac equipment is tuned not to exceed Curie temperature therefore magnetic steel cannot overheat

Thermal straightening – by induction• The straightening effect occurs when the heated material
expands and contracts• A rapid, through - heating, forces the heated area to
expand vertically • Deformation is permanent• During cooling down, the material around the heated
zone will shrink equally in all directions and due to this, the plate becomes shorter
![Page 21: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Thermal straightening – by induction
• Shrinking close to the welds is shrinking at the weld-affected points and is sufficient in most situations
![Page 23: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Thermal straightening – by induction
• Shrinking close to the welds from one side decreases the convex AND concave bulges

Operational Trial at BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“This section covers work carried out in a shipyard involved in the construction of naval vessels with a high proportion of thin plate in the structure.” ²
“A number of areas were induction heat straightened following a laid down sequence. Deflections on areas were measured before, during and after the induction heat straightening process.” ²
![Page 30: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Operational Trial at BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“The induction heating process was compared against a standard, but well controlled , flame heating procedure. This procedure followed the laid down sequence used for the induction heating.” ²
“In this specific area of the ship the maximum allowable deflection was 6mm. The evaluation consisted of establishing the percentage of the structure brought within tolerance. It should be noted that the intention was not produce a perfectly flat structure, but one that was within the required tolerances.” ²
![Page 31: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Operational Trial at BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“In this instance the induction heating system achieved between 93 and 95% within tolerance, and the flame heating achieved between 51 and 56%. This consisted of both low and high deflections.” ²
“the time savings were estimated at about 75%. Other cost savings which could be incorporated into this were material costs (studs), strongbacks, and process costs such as grinding off the stud scars and rewelding and grinding any undercut.” ²
![Page 32: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Metallurgical Results at BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“Plate material was treated in the same manner as the actual structure. Testing was carried out in these areas to determine material properties such as strength, toughness and hardness. In addition, an evaluation was made of the steel microstructure in the treated areas and in reference areas of the plates.” ²
“For comparison purposes, a carefully controlled flame heating procedure was used on 5mm thick DH 36 plate, following a similar pattern to that used for the induction heating.” ²
![Page 33: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Metallurgical Results BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“The comparison of strength and toughness revealed very little significant difference among the induction heated samples. There was a very slight drop in toughness in the heated areas, and a similar drop in yield strength (~ 7%). However in the flame heated areas there was a reduction in toughness of almost 45% and a 7% reduction in yield strength.” ²
![Page 34: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Metallurgical Results at BAE Systems – Surface Fleet
“The hardness of the material did show some differences, as the localised cooling and heating of the area was inevitably going to change the steel microstructure in the area.” ²
“there is between 6% and 15% increase in hardness of the induction heated areas compared to the parent plate material. For the flame heated material the increase was 16%.” ²
![Page 35: EFD Induction Terac – straightening with induction Presentation by: Mark Wells Product & Application Manager (Europe) Presented by: Tom Brown Regional.](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081508/56649d995503460f94a83eae/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
