Simulation of Stress Field in High-Frequency Welded Pipe of Composite Aluminum Alloy

Abstract:

Based on the finite element model of high frequency welded pipe welded of composite aluminum alloy, the stress-time variation curves of welded pipe in different welding parameters were obtained. The analysis shows that the residual tensile stress in the weld zone is largest. At the same time, the weld tensile test and hydrostatic burst test were conducted. When the residual tensile stress in the weld zone is high, the blasting pressure which the weld can withstand is small, and the cracking position is often in the welded seam zone. To a certain extent, the change of the thermal stress in the welding process and the residual stress in the cooling process can be accurately reflected by the finite element analysis method.
