Torch Heating of Bridge Girder
This presentation examines the structural and metallurgical impact of torch heating during bridge girder fabrication. Through a real-world case study, Justin Bekker explores the principles of heat forming, microstructural transformations, and on-site testing used to evaluate overheated regions exceeding 800 °C.
