Abstract:

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 prediction of welding-induced distortion. In following a relatively large panel will be simulated by finite element software ANSYS and its distortion will be calculated. The results will be compared by experimental measurement. Afterward this investigation will present an efficient welding sequence which produce minimal distortion.

Finite element simulation of laser spot welding

The present work reports on a two-dimensional axisymmetric Ž nite element analysis of heat  ow during laser spot welding, taking into account the temperature dependence of the physical properties and latent heat of transformations. An analysis based on conduction heat transfer alone, but using the ‘double ellipsoidal’ representation of the laser beam, seems to be sufŽ cient to estimate the tra...

FINITE ELEMENT SIMULATION OF HEAT TRANSFER IN FRICTION STIR WELDING OF AL 7050

Friction welding is widely used in various industries. In friction welding, heat is generated by conversion of mechanical energy into thermal energy at the interface the work pieces during pin rotation under pressure. A three-dimensional thermo mechanical simulation of friction stir welding (FSW) processes is carried out for Aluminium Alloys of 6061and 7050 where the simulation results are comp...

Finite element simulation of microstructure evolution during friction stir welding of automotive aluminum parts

7000 series Aluminum alloys are widely used in the automotive industries for structural lightweight components due to their exceptional high strength to weight ratio. However, this class of aluminum alloy is difficult to join by conventional fusion welding techniques so Friction stir welding (FSW) widely is used for welding this alloys. The process has been demonstrated to be effective and is c...

Simulation of effective parameters on low-carbon steel laser welding process using finite element method

In this paper, laser beam welding of a rectangular piece of steel was simulated using Fluent software. Physical properties of analytical field was constant and its changes with temperature was ignored. In the present work, effect of tool speed and laser power on temperature distribution of workpiece surface and different deeps in the plane of symmetry and also maximum of temperature and depth o...
