Arc Behavior Numerical Analysis in GMAW Welding Deposition-Based Rapid Forming

Article Preview

Abstract:

Metal fluid flow in weld pool would influence final quality of forming part in GMAW welding deposition-based rapid forming process. To numerical study fluid flow in weld pool, heat and force effects on weld pool surface must been made clear firstly. A three-dimensional numerical model has been built to study arc behavior in GMAW welding deposition-based rapid forming process. Solving the model, heat flux and pressure distributions on the cathode were derived. Calculated results show that heat flux from the arc to the cathode is related to arc temperature nearly above the cathode, and is not monotonous about radial distance within 2 mm distance away from arc axis. A maximum pressure with a value of 800 Pa happens at 1mm away from arc axis.
