Simplified Simulation of the Friction Stir Welding Process. Influence of the Boundary Conditions Modelling

Abstract:

A simple three dimensional thermomechanical model for FSW is used in the present paper. It is developed from the model proposed by Heurtier [1] improved by Jacquin [10] to account for the eulerian cooling flux due to the tool motion during welding. The velocity fields used to describe the bulk flow around the tool are introduced in the particular derivative of the thermal equilibrium equation. The complete thermomechanical history of the material during the process can then be accessed by temperature and strain rate contours.
