Question:

When two 0.5-in.-thick copper plates are  joined using an arc-welding process, the fusion zone contains dendrites having a SDAS of 0.006 cm; however, this process produces large residual stresses in the weld. We have found that residual stresses are low when the welding conditions produce a SDAS of more than 0.02 cm. Design a process by which we can accomplish low residual stresses. Justify your design.
