3D Coupled Cellular Automaton (CA)–Finite Element (FE) Modeling for Solidification Grain Structures in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

Abstract: A coupled Cellular Automaton (CA) -Finite Element (FE) model is proposed to predict the grain structure formation during Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). The FE model solves the heat flow problem based on an adaptive meshing. This is done on a first FE mesh. The CA model simulates the development of the envelope of the grains in the liquid. For that purpose, a second FE mesh, referred to as CA mesh, is used. Fields can be interpolated between the adaptive FE mesh and the CA mesh. A CA grid made of a regular la… Show more

“…A dynamic remeshing strategy is developed for the adaptation of the FE mesh as illustrated in Fig. 2 (b) [13,15,30]. This remeshing is based on a specific metric computed from three separated metrics.…”

“…A given volume of the metal defined by a cell of the CA grid can either remain solid, become liquid, or be partially melted. Once the temperature field is projected on the CA grid, the temperature of cell n, T n , being known, it is compared to the liquidus temperature of the alloy, T L , and linked to the state of its neighboring cells m to model melting [15]:…”

“…The initial average grain diameter of the base material is around 100 μm and the initial grain structure is equiaxed in the whole specimen. It means that the CA grid should contain billions of cells per cm 3 that is cumbersome to manage [5] even with increasing high-performance computing. A two-dimensional model will be developed.…”

“…Recently, Chen et al [5] adapted a three-dimensional cellular automata-finite element (CAFE) method for welding simulations and used it to predict grain structure. Based on a dendritic growth law derived from a Kurz Giovanola Trivedi (KGT) model [6], Chen et al [5] were able to predict epitaxial growth and grain growth selection even for multiple solidification/fusion cycles. In this important work, the nucleation phenomenon was not integrated despite its importance in CET prediction.…”
