As the heat source moves, the temperature of the entire weldment changes rapidly with time and space, and the physical properties of the materials also vary drastically with temperature.
A number of factors affect the temperature field, such as the heat source of welding, welding speed, size of welding materials, boundary conditions, thermophysical properties of materials and other parameters.
Consequently, the calculation of the temperature field should take into account the above factors [6].
