Effect of Welding Parameters on Temperature Field during Twin-Wire Submerged Arc Welding of X80 Pipeline Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The welding temperature field of twin-wire submerged arc welding (SAW) in an X80 pipeline steel welded joint was analyzed using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE) model. Taking into account nonlinear relationships between temperature and mechanical properties, a coupled thermo-mechanical FE solution was used to obtain the temperature distribution for varying set of welding conditions. Effect of welding speed, inter wire spacing on welding temperature field were studied and presented. It is found that welding speed and inter wire spacing play a significant role in deciding the temperature distribution of twin-wire submerged arc welding. Simulation results were well consistent with theoretical analysis.
