Analysis and Prediction of Parallel Effect on Inherent Deformation during the Line Heating Process

Abstract: This paper describes the effect of previous heating on inherent deformation by following heating, more specifically, the case of two heating lines applied parallel to each other. The novelty of the work lies in revealing the parallel effect and how, factors such as, for example, the heating condition and the plate geometry, influence the resulting inherent deformation of parallel heating. In addition, relationships to easily get these influences are provided. The results are suitable for a wide range of heating conditions and plate thickness.
