Numerical Simulation to the Temperature Distribution of the Laser Cladding

Abstract:

Numerical simulation to the temperature of laser cladding can simulate the process of its technique, which can also optimize the parameters of the technique and predict the defects of the cladding. In this paper, a three-dimensional finite element powder-feed laser single cladding model of the transient temperature field was built based on APDL in ANSYS, where the Gaussian distribution of heat source, forced convection heat transfer and the motion of laser heat source are simulated .The results reveal how the main technique parameters affect the distribution of the temperature, and make a prepare for the experiment of laser cladding.
