Angular Distortion & Stress<br />

Angular distortion (the “gull wing” shape <strong>of</strong> a<br />

SMAW certification plate) is minimal for <strong>EGW</strong><br />

when a symmetrical joint is used.<br />

Solidification begins at the outside edges.<br />

The result is that the outer surfaces <strong>of</strong> the<br />

completed weld are in compression and the<br />

center is in tension.
