TLDR
The solution of a traveling distributed heat source on a semi-infinite plate provides information about both the size and the shape of arc weld pools as mentioned in this paper, and the results indicate that both welding process variables (current, arc length and travel speed) and material parameters (thermal diffusivity) have significant effects on weld shape.
Abstract
The solution of a traveling distributed heat source on a semi-infinite plate provides information about both the size and the shape of arc weld pools. The results indicate that both welding process variables (current, arc length and travel speed) and material parameters (thermal diffusivity) have significant effects on weld shape. The theoretical predictions are compared with experimental results on carbon steels, stainless steel, titanium and aluminum with good agreement. 25 references, 23 figures, 1 table.

A methodology for prediction of fusion zone shape

TL;DR: In this article, a semi-empirical methodology for prediction of fusion depth and width in the gas metal arc welding process is presented. Butler et al. used an applied regression analysis by the least squares method for estimating these errors.

Weld penetration control system design and testing

TL;DR: In this paper, the design, implementation, and testing of a feedback control system for regulating gas tungsten arc weld (GTAW) penetration are presented, and the derivation of reduced-order transfer function models representing the welding heat flow is also discussed.

Numerical simulation for dynamic behavior of molten pool in tungsten inert gas welding with reserved gap

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D transient numerical analysis model of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding with a reserved gap was established, and the loss of the total heat input and change in arc pressure due to the reserved gap were considered.

Temperature predictive model of the large pulsed electron beam (LPEB) irradiation on engineering alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model of the large electron beam irradiation with a Gaussian-distributed heat source was developed to reflect the natural interactions between accelerated electrons and solid substrates, the absorptance of the electron beam was evaluated with considering electron scattering, backscattering, and transmission.

Geometrical Effects on the Temperature Distribution in a Half-Space Due to a Moving Heat Source

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effects of the heat source speed, aspect ratio, corners, and orientation on the heat transfer within a half-space due to a moving heat source of hyperelliptical geometry.

Heat treating and melting material with a scanning laser or electron beam

TL;DR: In this paper, a thermal analysis for laser heating and melting materials is derived for a Gaussian source moving at a constant velocity, where the resulting temperature distribution, cooling rate distribution, and depth of melting are related to the laser spot size, velocity, and power level.

Heat Intensity and Current Density Distributions at the Anode of High Current, Inert Gas Arcs

TL;DR: In this article, heat and current distributions at the anode of high current arcs in inert gas atmospheres were determined experimentally, and the experimental method consisted of splitting anode, measuring the heat flux and the current to one of the sections as a function of arc position relative to the splitting plane, and calculating therefrom the distribution functions.

Analysis of Electrode Phenomena in the High-Current Arc

TL;DR: In this article, the authors made an analysis of the phenomena at the electrodes of a high-current short-time arc and showed that the input power density to the anode spot is in the range 5×104 to 1×106 watts/cm2.

Convection in arc weld pools

TL;DR: In this paper, a mathematical model was developed to account for convection and temperature distributions in stationary arc weld pools driven by buoyancy, electromagnetic and surface tension forces, and it was shown that these forces dominate the flow behavior.

Effect of Selenium on GTAW Fusion Zone Geometry

C.R. Heiple, +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, small additions of selenium to 21-6-9 stainless steel dramatically increase the depth/width ratio of bead-on-plate welds, which is consistent with a model for control of weld fusion zone geometry.
