A method of solving the thermo-fluid dynamics problem is presented, enabling the prediction of the shape and dimensions of the weld pool during keyhole laser welding of thick plates. It is shown that the rear weld pool boundary can be satisfactorily approximated by a set of superellipses (Lamé curves). The presence of a convex rear weld pool boundary in the mid-plane has been observed experimentally and reproduced numerically. It was shown that in this zone the concentration of liquating impurities increases and the local solidification temperature decreases, contributing to the susceptibility to hot cracking.
It is proposed to model the experimentally observed weld pool boundary with superellipses (Lamé curves) and to find the unknown parameters of the curves using optimization methods. It has been shown experimentally that during laser welding of austenitic stainless steel with a thickness of 2 mm at a speed of 20 mm/s, the rear weld pool part has a shape close to triangular which can be accurately approximated by a superellipse. Analytical dependences of the trajectory and growth rate of the crystal and its cross-sectional area on the geometry of the rear weld pool part are obtained.
МОДЕЛИРОВАНИЕ ГИДРОДИНАМИЧЕСКИХ И ТЕПЛОВЫХ ПРОЦЕССОВ ПРИ ЛАЗЕРНОЙ СВАРКЕ СО СКВОЗНЫМ ПРОПЛАВЛЕНИЕМ
(2020)
Разработана модель физических процессов при сварке плавлением на основе концепции эквивалентных источников теплоты. Модель включает в себя две части: термогидродинамику сварочной ванны и теплопроводность свариваемого тела вне ванны. В задаче термогидродинамики учитываются температурные зависимости свойств материала, форма парогазового канала, термокапиллярная и естественная конвекция, фазовые превращения и другие физические явления.Приведено решение задачи термогидродинамики методом конечных элементов на примере сварки стальной пластины толщиной 15 мм со сквозным проплавлением лазерным лучом (по технологии "замочная скважина"). Показано, что термокапиллярная конвекция жидкого металла является основной причиной сложной выпукло-вогнутой формы границы ванны с увеличенными размерами в приповерхностных областях. Получено удовлетворительное совпадение расчетных и экспериментальных размеров сварочной ванны.
Приведено аналитическое решение задачи теплопроводности после прекращения действия подвижного источника теплоты для различных комбинаций источника и свариваемого тела. Показано, что после выключения источника возможно дополнительное плавление основного металла за счет перегретого жидкого металла сварочной ванны. Например, при лазерной сварке со сквозным проплавлением стальной пластины толщиной 2 мм длина кратера шва может быт на 19% больше установившейся длины сварочной ванны. Установлено, что центр кратера, в котором заканчивается затвердевание жидкого металла, смещен в сторону хвостовой части кратера относительно оси теплового источника в момент прекращения его действия. Скорость и направление кристаллизации металла сварочной ванны и кратера различны.
Der vorgestellte Modellierungsprozess dient zur Abschätzung einer geeigneten äquivalenten Wärmequelle und Berechnung des thermischen Verhaltens beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Die Methode Kombiniert die Vorteile von gägngigen Simulationsverfahren und reduziert die berücksichtigte Anzahl an physikalischen Aspekten und Kalibrierungsparameter. Durch die modellierten physikalischen Phänomene konnten die Informationen über die Strömung im Schmelzbad und dessen Einfluss auf die resultierende lokale Temperaturverteilung und folglich auf das transiente Temperaturfeld gewonnen werden. Dadurch wurde die Simulatioszeit(inkl. Kalibrierungsaufwand) auf weniger als einen Tag Rechenzeit verringert.

The geometry of the melt pool in laser beam welding plays a major role to understand the dynamics of the melt and its solidification behavior. In this study, a butt configuration of 15 mm thick structural steel and transparent quartz glass was used to observe the weld pool geometry by means of high-speed camera and an infrared camera recording. The observations show that the dimensions of the weld pool vary depending on the depth. The areas close to the weld pool surface take a teardrop-shape. A bulge-region and its temporal evolution were observed approximately in the middle of the depth of the weld pool. Additionally, a 3D transient thermal-fluid numerical simulation was performed to obtain the weld pool shape and to understand the formation mechanism of the observed bulging effect. The model takes into account the local temperature field, the effects of phase transition, thermo-capillary convection, natural convection and temperature-dependent material properties up to evaporation temperature. The numerical results showed good accordance and were furthermore used to improve the understanding of the experimentally observed bulging effect.
Transient process simulation of heat transfer in laser beam welding with an equivalent heat source
(2017)
A multi-physics modelling framework developed for the prediction of the three-dimensional transient temperature field of the laser welding process is presented. The numerical model consists of two studies. In the first study, a steady-state CFD process simulation of full-penetration keyhole laser beam welding was performed. Considering the effects of latent heat, natural and thermo-capillary convection and temperature-dependent material properties up to evaporation temperature the local weld pool geometry and temperature field were obtained. These results were used in the second subsequent study, as an equivalent volumetric heat source, by the prediction of the transient thermal cycle during and after fusion welding. Here the energy input and the movement of the heat source were realized by a novel technique, making use of pointwise constraints and a moving mesh provided with helper lines and additional remeshing condition. The numerically calculated results were compared to experimentally observed weld pool shapes and time-temperature curves and show a very good agreement.

The additional element from the filler wire in the laser beam welding is usually distributed inhomogeneously in the final weld due to the high solidification rate of weld pool. It has been found that the electromagnetic stirring produced by an external oscillating magnetic field can enhance the material mixing in the weld pool to achieve a more uniform element distribution. However, the magnetic field has a highly nonlinear and multicoupled interaction with the weld pool behavior, which makes the quantitative explanation of the physical mechanism difficult. In this study, the effect of electromagnetic stirring on the transport phenomena in the wire feed laser beam welding is investigated by a numerical modeling. A 3D transient multiphysical model considering the magnetohydrodynamics, heat transfer, fluid flow, keyhole dynamics, and element transport is developed. The multiple reflections and the Fresnel absorption of the laser on the keyhole wall are calculated using the ray tracing method. The numerical results show that a Lorentz force produced by the oscillating magnetic field and its induced eddy current gives significant influence on the transport phenomena in the molten pool. The forward and downward flow is enhanced by the electromagnetic stirring, which homogenizes the distribution of the additional elements from a nickel-based filler wire in a steel weld pool. The numerical results show a good agreement with the high-speed images of the molten pool, the fusion line from the optical micrograph, and the element distribution from the energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. This work provides a physical base for the electromagnetic-controlled laser beam welding and some guidance for the selection of electromagnetic parameters.
