Abstract
Calculation-experimental method of determination of residual stresses in the zone of welded joints was used. The basic data were obtained by mathematical modeling of the process of formation of elastic-plastic deformations during cooling of the welded parts up to the plastic condition.
Keywords: flash-butt welding, pulsed flashing, welded Joint, residual stresses, microstructure, mathematical model
