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
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
Additive manufacturing is attracting more and more interest. Laser Cladding is one of these additive manufacturing processes. For this a quasi-stationary physical based 3D process model is presented, which has been developed taking into account heat transfer, melt pool fluid flow ... Read More
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
An interaction of aluminum aircraft skins with a laboratory-simulated, low-level, long-duration, continuing current representative of a natural lightning flash was modeled with COMSOL Multiphysics. For the analysis of the lightning direct effects on aircraft, the external environment is ... Read More
Laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF) is a promising additive manufacturing technology, where metallic parts are produced in a layer-wise manner. At each step, a rapid-moving laser irradiates and subsequently melts predefined zones of a relatively thin layer of fine spherical metal ... Read More
Arc plasma can heat and melt the metal material and flows of molten metal can be affected by several forces such as Lorentz force which is ruled by current, Marangoni force controlled by surface tension, buoyancy force, and arc drag force. Usually, surface tension variation is determined ... Read More
The interaction of high power laser beam with metallic materials produces a number of interconnected phenomena that represent a serious challenge for numerical modeling, especially for creation of auto-consistent models. Additional difficulty consists in lack of data on materials ... Read More
Electrospinning is a process where high voltage is applied to produce polymer fibers of nanoscale diameter. Various polymers have been used for this process in molten form or as a solution with an appropriate solvent such as glycerol. The melt solidifies while the solvent evaporates to ... Read More
Improved performance of aeroengines requires the development of new manufacturing technologies for ceramic matrix composites (CMCs). This has been simulated using COMSOL Multiphysics. Specialized simulation technologies have been developed to describe the infiltration of molten material ... Read More
