This study investigates the deformation behavior of AH32 steel plates under various line heating conditions in the post line-heating process. A total of 24 experimental cases were conducted by varying material thickness (12mm, 16mm, 20mm), heating speed, oxygen and acetylene flow rates, and torch tip size. Deformation was measured at 35 points per specimen, with emphasis on the maximum deformation at the 300mm X-axis location. The deformation results were classified into three groups: high (≥4.0mm), medium (2.0–3.9mm), and low (≤1.0mm). The results confirmed that material thickness had the greatest effect on deformation, followed by heat input parameters such as heating speed and gas flow rate. High deformation occurred under low heating speed and high flow rate conditions, while low deformation was observed in thick plates with fast heating and low flow rates. These findings highlight the importance of controlling heat input and geometric factors for deformation correction. The data acquired from this study can be utilized as a reference for optimizing automated post line-heating processes in shipbuilding.
