Computing Welding Distortion: Comparison of Different Industrially Applicable Methods
نویسندگان
چکیده
Welding distortion is one of the major concerns of the industrial joining practice. In order to obtain optimal welding parameters many experiments have to be carried out. Numerical simulation enables a virtual examination of the welding distortion without performing expensive experiments. In this contribution some industrially applicable methods of weld modeling are discussed. They enable the fast distortion assessment in the pre-development stage. The application of these methods on a complex automotive part is conducted followed by a comparison of computed distortion with measured values. Furthermore, aspects of integration of weld modeling into the virtual product chain are addressed.

Finite Element Simulation of Welding Distortion in Large Structure
Fusion welding is widely used in heavy industries to join different parts together. But sometimes welding-induced distortions cause problems like misalignment during assembling and make costs to remove them. Thus it is imperative to predict and mitigate them to improve weldments quality and also reduce in fabrication costs. This study at first will introduce inherent deformation method for pred...

Although a few models have been proposed for 3D simulation of different welding processes, 2D models are still more effective in design goals, thus more popular due to the short-time analysis. In this research, replacing "time" by the "third dimension of place", the gas tungsten arc welding process was simulated by the finite element method in two dimensions and in a short time with acceptable ...

In general, it is desirable to finish the weld quickly, before a large volume of surrounding metal heats up and expands. The welding process used, type, welding current and speed of travel, thus, affect the degree of shrinkage and distortion of a weldment. The use of mechanized welding equipment reduces welding time, metal affected zone and consequently distortion. This article helps to define ...
