Abstract:In the current work a 3D model has been developed to predict the thermal cycles during the Tungsten Inert Gas welding of Aluminum 2219. This paper describes the step by step procedure adopted to get the actual cooling rate during the TIG welding process both experimentally and numerically. The model was developed in the COMSOL Finite Element Package and considered a Gaussian heat distribution. The developed model then validated using the experimental data collected in field experiments on actual large propella… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
