Residual stresses in flux cored arc welding process in bead-on-plate specimens

► Weld induced temperatures and residual stresses are simulated for a single bead on plate specimen for flux cored arc welding process. ► Results are corroborated with authors' experimental measurements of temperature and residual stresses on several samples. ► FEA modeling technique is benchmarked for flux cored arc welding process in Sysweld using the double ellipsoidal heat source model.
