Introduction: The main objective of the present work consists in modeling an arc welding heat source to allow predict peak temperature and cooling rate at specific points. The filler metal was deposited on a plate of 32mm thick with no chamfer, in bead on plate configuration, using five ... Read More
Numerical modeling study using the COMSOL Multiphysics has contributed to the evaluations of the thermal and flows structures of the subduction zones, which are directly correlated to the arc volcanism. To understand arc volcanisms, consideration of the back-arc temperature heterogeneity ... Read More
One of the challenges associated with the wire-arc additive manufacture (WAAM) of metals is to provide adequate inert gas shielding, not only for the molten pool, but also for the long reactive metal surface that follows it. For Ti-6Al-4V, it has been shown that increased levels of ... Read More
The knowledge of the behavior of electric arcs between plane electrodes is in high interest due to their presence in industrial applications such as low voltage circuit breakers. In this contribution, numerical simulations of an electric arc displacement due to electro-magnetic forces ... Read More
Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) use graphite electrodes to strike an arc to melt scrap steel, recycling it for further use. These graphite electrodes oxidize and are consumed over time. To maintain operation new electrodes are attached to others via a joint of complex geometry and fed ... Read More
Injection of 3-D hot plume blob develops localized and short-term increases in slab surface temperatures, consistent with the Abukuma adakite, Northeast Japan. 3-D mantle flow develops trough of the lowered slab surface temperatures implying along lowered slab surface temperatures, ... Read More
Simulation of arc-wire additive manufacturing is under development in many academic and industrial sectors and at different scales. The study at the melt pool scale is often interesting to study deposition shapes and defects but not very relevant to calculate the stresses and strains at ... Read More
The simplicity, reliability and low costs of electro-mechanical breakers have made them the workhorse for the interruption of low voltage short-circuit currents. In the presence of a short circuit, the contacts of the breaker heat up, and a bridge of molten metal forms between the pair ... Read More
The prediction of mechanical response of assemblies during arc welding necessitates the knowledge of thermal history of the components and the constitutive behavior of the materials. COMSOL can simulate thermal and structural interaction but it needs to evaluate the time evolution of ... Read More
Using COMSOL Multiphysics, a finite element model is introduced in this paper to describe the couplings between the welding arc and the weld pool dynamic in pulsed gas tungsten arc welding. The cathode, arc-plasma and melting anode regions are taken into account. The unified time ... Read More
