Arc welding is one of the mostly used fabrication process in the industry due to its potent applications. During manual metal Arc Welding heat is transferred to the joint by melting an electrode. During welding process, the thermal stresses are generated in the specimen causing distortion and change in the shape. This problem of residual stresses and distortion of welded plates has become a major issue of research on shipbuilding and machine tool bodies. In this paper a review has been done and in the first stage, the pure thermal analysis is carried to estimate the time dependent temperatures. The temperatures obtained in thermal analysis are given as input in the second stage i.e. The Structural Analysis. The output of this thermo mechanical analysis involves estimation of Von mises Stresses, Strains and deformation. [1]
