Magnetic field and magnetohydrodynamic behavior of a typical aluminum cell modeling with COMSOL Multiphysics®

I. Necheporenko¹, A. Arkhipov¹
¹Emirates Global Aluminium, Dubai, UAE

Aluminum production potlines operate under significant amperage in a range of 200 kA – 600 kA. High electrical DC currents induce strong magnetic fields. MHD stability, which is a result of electrical current and magnetic field interaction within aluminum reduction cell, is one of highly ... Read More

Simulation of Laser Powder-bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing Process Using the COMSOL Multiphysics® software

K. Leung [1], A. Imanian [1],
[1] Technical Data Analysis, Inc., Falls Church, VA, USA

Additive manufacturing technology is becoming more popular for the fabrication of metal products as it offers rapid prototyping and large design freedom. However, part quality of components fabricated by current additive manufacturing technology is not comparable to that produced by ... Read More

A numerical simulation study, using COMSOL Multiphysics®, was carried out to examine the temperature and concentration fields in the dissolution process of silicon into germanium melt. This work utilized a simplified configuration which may be considered to be similar material ... Read More

Modeling 2D and 3D of Hybrid Laser Nd:Yag - MIG Welding Processes

E. Le Guen[1], R. Fabbro[1], F. Coste[1], M. Carin[2], and P. Le Masson[2]
[1]LALP (CNRS)/GIP GERAILP, Arcueil, France
[2]LIMATB, Université de Bretagne Sud, Lorient, France

Hybrid laser-MIG arc welding has very interesting advantages compared to laser welding or arc welding used separately. It is known that improvement of productivity results in higher welding speeds, thicker welded materials, joint fit-up allowance, better stability of molten pool, and ... Read More

Determination of Process Parameters for Electron Beam Sintering (EBS)

M. F. Zäh, S. Lutzmann, M. Kahnert, and F. Walchshäusl
iwb Anwenderzentrum Augsburg, TU München, Augsburg, Germany

Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) methods, like Electron Beam Sintering (EBS), constitute an interesting process concerning the production of small series and customized products. However, transient effects occur during processing due to the different physical principles of an electron ... Read More

Numerical Simulation of Evaporation Processes in Electron Beam Welding

E. Salomatova[1], D. Trushnikov[1], V. Belenkiy[1], V. Tsaplin[1]
[1]Perm National Research Polytechnic University, Perm, Russia

In this paper describes an original method for indirect measurement of the vapor pressure and temperature in the keyhole in electron beam welding. This method is based on the determination of the concentration of chemical elements in the vapor above the welding zone. Taking into account ... Read More

Transient Process Simulation of Heat Transfer in Laser Beam Welding with an Equivalent Heat Source

A. Artinov [1], M. Bachmann [1], M. Rethmeier [1],
[1] BAM Federal Institute for Material Research and Testing, Berlin, Germany

The Finite Element Method (FEM) has become an established numerical tool used for different academic and industrial purposes. It allows the prediction of weld pool geometry, thermal cycle, final distortion and residual stress field during and after fusion welding. The capability of the ... Read More

Free Surface Deformation of the Weld Pool in Orbital Narrow Gap GTA Welding

S. Morville [1], V. Bruyère [2], P. Namy [2],
[1] Technical Center FRAMATOME, Le Creusot, France
[2] SIMTEC, Grenoble, France

Arc current welding is a widespread process in heavy industry for the assembly of metallic components. In order to ensure the good quality of assemblies welds, it is appropriate to master the welding process but also to have a deep understanding of interactions with the weld pool and ... Read More
