Control of Distortion: in Welded Fabrication

This document discusses controlling distortion in welded fabrication. It covers the causes of distortion from welding, such as uneven cooling of weld beads, and methods for preventing distortion, such as edge preparation techniques, presetting, restraint, shrinkage allowances, welding procedures, and metallurgical considerations. The document also covers techniques for correcting distortion, including using presses or sizing fixtures to reshape parts after welding. It appears to be a chapter-by-chapter outline or table of contents for a longer work on controlling distortion from welding.
