Abstract:

This study focuses on the welding deformation via simulation and experiments. The structure of a combined joint geometry was modeled and simulated using the Simufact welding software based on the thermo-elastic-plastic approach. To verify the simulation results, a series of experiments was conducted with three plates of low carbon steel AISI 1005 as the parent metal and digital gas metal arc welding (GMAW) power source with premixed shielding gas and the one-sided clamping technique. It was established that the results of the thermo-elasticplastic 3D FEM analysis show good agreement with the experimental results, and the welding process 7 induced less distortion compared with other processes. By assuming the location of one plate, the deformation almost finds the location of the other free plates.

Keywords:
