Abstract

Welding stresses were determined in a pipe joint made of AISI 316 austenitic steel through resistance calculations and the finite element method (FEM). From 250 mm diameter pipes, the stresses generated by the temperatures were considered, as well as the equivalents and the deformations. It was determined that, from the chemical composition of the resulting cord where the alphagenous and ganmangenous elements were analyzed, that the solidification is of Ferrite-Austenite, that the stresses and deformations determined, resist temperatures and working pressures, all together do not cause the phenomenon of breakage in the pipe joint. The results were corroborated through the finite element method (FEM) where it was verified that said stresses do not exceed the yield limit of the base material and that the existing deformations are produced by the temperature and the working pressure.
