Welding objectives:
• Minimization of distortions
• Minimization of residual stresses (crack prediction)
• Optimization of weld joint properties (hardness) and microstructure
• Verification of weldability or defaults
Operating conditions to tune/optimize:
• the welding speed/energy
• the welding sequence
• the clamping or fixture setup
• and other operating conditions, if any
