Simulation Results

The manufacturing of the ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor) vacuum vessel involves the welding of thick deformed plates. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of forming residual stresses on the welding distortions of two thick plates. The plates are deformed using a three point rolling process. A first numerical simulation is performed to investigate the residual stresses induced by this process. The forming residual stresses are taken into account as initial conditions to perform the electron beam welding simulation of a deformed plate. This simulation first requires calibrating the heat source. Two welding simulations are then performed: the first one with residual stresses and the second one without. The comparison of the simulation results points out a low effect of the residual stresses on the electron beam welding distortions. As a result, in the next electron beam welding simulations of the vacuum vessel, no forming residual stresses will be taken into account.

The transient temperature field of Al alloy during electron beam welding (EBW) process was simulated using a three-dimensional finite element method. Different from the most previous models which were based on the assumption that the welding pool was solid and neglected the existence of keyhole by meshing the solid as a whole, a dynamic three-dimensional keyhole was applied in this model. The profile of the keyhole was ellipse and its size was determined before simulation based on the results of experiments. Following the heat source, the pre-defined keyhole moved along the welding line. A three-dimensional complex heat source model, including a modified Gaussian distribution source and a uniform source, was used in this study. The result shows that the shape of the keyhole had a direct effect on the temperature distribution and contribution to the special shape of the welding pool in EBW.

Heat Source Model

Abstract An adapted heat source model is developed for transient thermal numerical analysis of electron beam welded nickel-based alloy with increased susceptibility to hot cracking. The model enables the consideration of heat redistribution due to beam deflection phenomena. The modeling concept is validated by the appropriate theoretical models and in addition, experimental studies especially performed for this purpose. Special attention is given to the calibration of heat source model parameters. The calibration procedure is based on a statistical approach involving a combination of novel analytical solutions and quasi-steady state finite element models. The model parameter field is statistically analyzed, and a prediction algorithm is developed using optimization algorithms from the six sigma theory. The reliability and practicability of the model is demonstrated by validation weldments. The work is dedicated to precisely calculating the temperature field in the high temperature region around the weld pool and thus to provide a more detailed explanation of the formation of hot cracks when welding turbine materials commonly used in industry and aircraft constructions.

Inverse Heat Transfer Problem

This paper is concerned with the estimation of a heat source applied in the electron beam welding process by using the micrographic information (hardness, optical micrograph...) and temperature measurements in solid phase. The aim is to identify the energy distribution which is applied in the liquid and vapor zones. This identification is realized at each time in a transversal plan perpendicularly to the welding axis. For this work, the goal is to analyze the feasibility of the estimation. So we don’t use noise with the theoretical measurements. At last, the iterative regularization method will be used for this two-dimensional metallurgical inverse heat transfer problem.

Weld Width

The numerical simulation of electron beam welding temperature field for 2090 Al-Li alloy sheet of 2 mm thickness is conducted by using the ANSYS software. The combined model of Gauss surface heat source with cylindrical body heat source in linear attenuation is used according to the unique nail-shaped weld of electron beam welding joint, and the distribution cloud image of temperature field and the instantaneous weld thermal cycle curves of Al-Li alloy electron beam welding are obtained through calculation. The effect of welding parameters such as electron beam power and welding speed on the distribution of temperature field and weld width is investigated. Results show that electron beam welding has a very high rate of both temperature ascending and descending, and the rate of temperature ascending is higher than that of descending. With the increase of electron beam power or decrease of welding speed, the temperature of fusion zone elevates, and the weld width increases. The appearance of weld obtained through numerical simulation is greatly consistent with the practical welding.

Abstract Electron Beam Welding (EBW) is a highly effective and accurate welding process that is being increasingly used in industrial work and is of growing importance in manufacturing. In the current study, solidification cracking in EBW of a CuCr1Zr cylindrical geometry was explored. To investigate and prevent occurrence of hot cracking, a thermomechanically coupled numerical model was developed using Finite Element Method (FEM). An additional heat source was considered, in order to influence the resulting residual stress state, namely to minimize tensile stresses in the fusion zone during solidification. Hence, a methodical assessment of relevant parameters, such as the power, the diameter of the additional heat source and the distances between both heat sources was employed using Design of Experiments (DoE). It was found that for a particular parameter configuration, solidification cracking most likely could be averted.
