From the laser welding actual process, the welding heat source model of laser welding process was established, that is, superposition heat source. According to the knowledge of thermodynamics, the establishment of a welding process, the mathematical model of temperature distribution of laser welding process was obtained by laser welding heat source. Finally, the finite element simulation of welding temperature distribution was used. The simulated results were compared with the analytical results of mathematical model of temperature field, it was proved consistent between simulated results and analytical results, at the same time it can account for the correctness of the mathematical model of temperature field.

Spatial temperature distribution during the laser welding process has a huge effect on any residual stress distribution. Therefore, understanding of the transient hydraulic phenomena which affect the temperature distribution in the molten pool is very important. In this work, intense X-ray measurement at the Super Photon ring-8 GeV (SPring-8) facility well carried out to document the transient hydraulic phenomena in the molten pool during the laser welding process. Based on in-situ observation of inside material, the experimental results confirmed that the molten pool shapes, hydraulic condition such as flow velocity, etc.. In the case of laser power is 330W and spot diameter is 1mm, we observed the steady flow which consisted of downward flow and upward flow. The flow velocities were about 19.5 mm/s and 9.0 mm/s, respectively. Moreover, the rate of phase change was obtained from molten pool shape during laser welding. The rate of phase change was not constant during laser welding. Thus the interface shape might change at all time. Therefore, to evaluate the temperature distribution, it is necessary to consider not only convection but also the interface shape. These results indicate that the intense X-ray measurement during laser welding is very effective for the understanding the molten pool phenomena.

The welding technique is one of important technologies on the gear manufacturing process. The special welding temperature cycle is the basic conditions of the welding residual stress appearance in the gear. The large welding residual stress will create the large deformation after the gear welding, which will affect the gear service behavior. In this paper, the finite element method has used to simulate the gear laser welding process. The temperature field and residual stress has described. The research results show that the biggest residual compressive stress appears on the transverse direction of welding region. In the longitudinal direction, the biggest residual tensile stress appears on both sides of the welding seam line. When the laser welding power is 2.4 kW and welding speed is 20mm/s, the no apparent welding deformation’s 20CrMnSi gear can be achieved really.

This research includes a Comsol Mutiphysics model describing the temperature distribution on aluminum during the laser conductivity welding process. The influence of  laser power and speed on the welding process is discussed and compared with experiments. Numerical simulations of laser welding process have been performed to determine the temperature fields of laser impact to samples of aluminum. Numerical calculations are made for fiber laser. The plots of the temperature dependence on the surface and in the depth of aluminum samples on the velocity are analyzed for several power densities for this laser.
