Prediction of Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Weld Metal in Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calculation technique in order to reconstruct the 3D temperature field and predict the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld metal in hybrid laser-arc welding is developed. The technique is based on the solution of the direct 3D temperature problem by a function-analytical method, the numerical solution of the inverse problem for the unknown parameters of a volume heat source, the employment of the known models for prediction of the microstructure and mechanical properties. The proposed calculation technique makes it possible to reduce considerably the total time for data input and solution. It is demonstrated with an example of butt hybrid laser-arc welding.
