For realistic simulation, the temperature dependent mechanical properties need to be implemented from ambient temperature to temperatures above the flow temperature. Standard test methods are insufficient for characterization in the entire temperature range because close to the flow temperature the material is too soft for tensile tests and too stiff for rheometry. Therefore, an optimization strategy is developed, that determines unknown material parameters by testing in welding simulations. The unknown parameters are iteratively adjusted to minimize the mismatch between computed and measured set-paths. Thus, important process characteristics are calculated realistically, enabling the computer aided assessment of the weld quality.}, subject = {Kunststoffschweißen}, language = {en} } @article{SchmailzlKaesbauerMartanetal., author = {Schmailzl, Anton and K{\"a}sbauer, Johannes and Martan, Jiř{\´i} and Honnerov{\´a}, Petra and Sch{\"a}fer, Felix and Fichtl, Maximilian and Lehrer, Tobias and Pruš{\´a}kov{\´a}, L. and Tesař, Jiř{\´i} and Sk{\´a}la, J. and Honner, Milan and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Measurement of Core Temperature through Semi-Transparent Polyamide 6 using Scanner-Integrated Pyrometer in Laser Welding}, series = {International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer}, volume = {146}, journal = {International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer}, number = {January}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2019.118814}, abstract = {Predicting the core temperature during welding is an ambitious aim in many research works. In this work, a 3D-scanner with integrated pyrometer is characterized and used to measure the temperature during quasi-simultaneous laser transmission welding of polyamide 6. However, due to welding in an overlap configuration, the heat radiation emitted from the joining zone of a laser transmission weld has to pass through the upper polymer, which is itself a semi-transparent emitter. Therefore, the spectral filtering of the heat radiation in the upper polymer is taken into account by calibrating the pyrometer for the measurement task. Thermal process simulations are performed to compare the temperature field with the measured temperature signal. The absorption coefficients of the polymers are measured, in order to get precise results from the computation. The temperature signals during welding are in good agreement with the computed mean temperature inside the detection spot, located in the joining area. This is also true for varying laser power, laser beam diameter and the carbon black content in the lower polymer. Both, the computed mean temperature and the temperature signal are representing the core temperature. In order to evaluate the spatial sensitivity of the measurement system, the emitted heat radiation from both polymers is calculated on basis of the computed temperature field. Hereby it is found, that more than 90 percent of the detected heat radiation comes from the joining area, which is a crucial information for contact-free temperature measurement tasks on semi-transparent polymers.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{SchmailzlQuandtHierletal., author = {Schmailzl, Anton and Quandt, Benjamin and Hierl, Stefan and Schmidt, Michael}, title = {Correlation between Joint Strength and Process Temperature in Quasi-Simultaneous Laser Transmission Welding of Polyamide 6}, series = {Proceedings of LiM2019 - Lasers in Manufacturing (23 June 2019, Munich)}, booktitle = {Proceedings of LiM2019 - Lasers in Manufacturing (23 June 2019, Munich)}, publisher = {Wissenschaftliche Gesellschaft Lasertechnik e.V.}, pages = {1 -- 10}, abstract = {The joint strength is gaining importance in quasi -simultaneous laser transmission welds, especially in structural components. A correlation between the joint strength and a process characteristic is a basic requirement for selecting the best process parameter setting. In this work, the temperature is measured during welding polyamide 6 by using a scanner-integrated pyrometer with an InGaAs-detector. The filtering of the heat radiation in the upper joining partner is taken into account by calibrating the mea surement system. By this, the measured temperature signal represents the temperature in the joining zone. A correlation is found between the measured temperature and the resulting joint strength. Moreover, high joint strengths are also seen for welds with short welding times, as far as the temperature is sufficiently high. With this knowledge, a process window can be derived easily in order to produce welds with high strength and short welding times.}, language = {en} } @article{KaesbauerSchmailzlWeberetal., author = {K{\"a}sbauer, Johannes and Schmailzl, Anton and Weber, Ulrich and Hierl, Stefan and Jaus, Tobias and Schwalme, Michael}, title = {Simulationsgest{\"u}tzte Evaluierung von Strahloszillationsmustern beim quasi-simultanen Laser-Durchstrahlschweißen}, series = {JOINING PLASTICS - F{\"u}gen von Kunststoffen}, volume = {13}, journal = {JOINING PLASTICS - F{\"u}gen von Kunststoffen}, number = {2}, publisher = {DVS-Verl., Verl. f{\"u}r Schweißen und Verwandte Verfahren}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, pages = {102 -- 109}, language = {de} } @misc{KaesbauerSchmailzlLooseetal., author = {K{\"a}sbauer, Johannes and Schmailzl, Anton and Loose, Tobias and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Thermo-Mechanical Modeling of Quasi-Simultaneous Laser Transmission Welding using LS-DYNA with Focus on Accuracy of Heat Input Calculation}, series = {Technology Day 2020 - Plastics on the test rig, Traboch, 04.03.2020}, journal = {Technology Day 2020 - Plastics on the test rig, Traboch, 04.03.2020}, language = {en} } @misc{KaesbauerSchmailzlLooseetal., author = {K{\"a}sbauer, Johannes and Schmailzl, Anton and Loose, Tobias and Hierl, Stefan}, title = {Potentials of the EFG-Method for Modeling Quasi-Simultaneous Laser Transmission Welding Considering the Melt Flow}, series = {Simulationsforum 2019 - Schweißen und W{\"a}rmebehandlung, Weimar}, journal = {Simulationsforum 2019 - Schweißen und W{\"a}rmebehandlung, Weimar}, language = {en} }
