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.
