Understanding the causes of welding deformation and taking appropriate measures to control it is crucial for ensuring welding quality. Below, let's explore the causes of welding deformation with the ATINY seam tracking system. 　　Uneven Heat Input 　　During welding, the temperature in the welding area rises significantly, while the surrounding areas remain relatively cool. This temperature difference leads to uneven thermal expansion, causing welding deformation. When the heat input is too high, the heat-affected zone becomes larger, generating significant thermal stress between the weld metal and the base material, ultimately causing deformation. 　　Improper Welding Sequence 　　The welding sequence has a significant impact on welding deformation. An improper sequence can cause the weld to experience uneven shrinkage forces during cooling, leading to deformation. A reasonable welding sequence can effectively distribute welding stress and reduce deformation. 　　Material Properties 　　Different materials have varying coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity, which directly affect the degree of welding deformation. Materials with high thermal expansion coefficients are more prone to significant deformation during welding, while materials with low thermal conductivity can cause heat concentration, increasing the risk of deformation. 　　Weld Joint Design 　　The design of the weld joint also influences the degree of welding deformation. For example, single-sided weld joint designs can cause one-sided shrinkage of the weld metal, leading to bending deformation. A reasonable joint design can effectively reduce welding stress and minimize deformation. 　　Insufficient Fixtures 　　Using appropriate fixtures during welding can limit the freedom of movement of the workpiece, reducing welding deformation. However, if the fixtures are insufficient or improperly used, the workpiece may move during welding, leading to deformation. 　　Impact of Multi-Pass Welding 　　During multi-pass welding, each weld pass g
