This paper presents the numerical analysis of phase proportions and residual stresses in an autogenous beam edge weld. The thin beam was welded running a heat source along its longer edge using a TIG process. There is no addition of any material so the focus of modelling the process could be concentrated on the thermal analysis and the phase transformations. Temperature dependent material properties and a continuous cooling transformation (CCT) diagram of the base material were provided. The simulations took into account metallurgical effects and used a Goldak-type heat source. Simulations with and without phase transformations were carried out, in order to analyse the effect on the predicted residual stress.

Multipass butt welding of two 0.2 m thick steel plates has been investigated. The objective is to calculate residual stresses and compare them with measured residual stresses. The material properties depend on temperature and temperature history. This dependency is accounted for by computing the microstructure evolution and using this information for computing material properties. This is done by assigning temperature dependent material properties to each phase and applying mixture rules to predict macro material properties. Two different materials have been used for the microstructure calculation, one for the base material and one for the filler material.

A deep understanding of the manufacturing process is needed in order to achieve safety and quality requirements for parts and components; to this regard, residual stresses play an important role in welded structures. Residual stresses are mainly caused by the extremely severe thermal cycle to which the welded metal and base material are subjected to during welding process and their knowledge leads to a better static and fatigue assessment of welded joints. This work deals with the study of residual stresses for a tube to plate T-joint, made of S355JR carbon steel. The work was carried out by both numerical simulations and experimental tests. The numerical simulations were performed by Ansys FE code through a structural-thermal full transient analysis to evaluate stress, strain and temperature in each node at each step of the simulation. The “birth and death” method was employed, together with temperature-dependent material properties.A2Danda3D simulation were performed, in order to evaluate possible differences due to the welding process. Numerical results were compared to some preliminary measurements obtained through an incremental cut made on the plate.

In this paper, plasma transfer arc welding of hard faced circular grid plate was studied. Hard face deposition made by Plasma Transferred Arc Welding (PTAW) on grid plate at relatively high temperature, generates residual stresses due to differential shrinkage of the molten deposit, process-induced thermal gradients and difference in coefficients of thermal expansion between the deposit and base material. However, the magnitude and distribution of the residual stresses vary depending on the preheat temperature, heat input, deposition process, and the geometry of the component. Finite element analysis of residual stress is performed with commercial FEA package ANSYS 12.0 which includes moving heat source, material deposit, temperature dependent material properties, metal plasticity and elasticity. Coupled thermo-mechanical analysis is done for welding simulation and the element birth and death technique is employed for simulation of filler metal deposition.

Various types of rock melting drills have been designed at Los Alamos. These have included density consolidating penetrators up to 90 mm in diameter of varying configurations. A number of these consolidators have been tested in loams, alluvium, and tuff. Extruders up to 87 mm in diameter designed for an improved advance rate have been used in alluvium and basalt. The results of thermal analyses of some of these existing penetrators under conditions of constant advance rate in tuff, alluvium, and basalt are presented. The basic finite element heat conduction code (AYER) used in the calculations is briefly reviewed along with the methods of including radiation, temperature dependent material properties, and power generation. The internal temperature distribution, power requirements, and possible advance rates are determined for various consolidating and extruding penetrators. The effects of rock properties, penetrator configuration, and thermal limitations on the advance rate are considered. Heater designs and the use of heat pipes in specific designs are discussed. A comparison with experimental test data is made where possible.
