Numerical modeling of welded joints by the "Friction Stir Welding" process

Abstract: The present work is aimed to simulate the Friction Stir Welding process as a three-dimensional thermally coupled viscoplastic flow. A Finite Element technique is employed, within the context of a general purpose FEM framework, to provide the temperature distributions and the patterns of plastic flow for the material involved in the welded joints. The computational tool presented here may be of great relevance for technologist seeking to set the process control variables, as they are intended to obtain suitable… Show more

“…The heat generated during the welding process is equivalent to the power input introduced into the weld by the tool minus some losses due to microstructural effects [21]. The peripheral speed of the shoulder and probe is much higher than the translational speed (the tool rotates at high speeds).…”

“…Simar et al introduce a parameter ( γ ) that exposes the relative importance of both contributions [32]: (21) where V Q is the volume heat contribution and S Q is the total tool surface heat contribution. For thermal computational models which take into account the material fluid flow, Simar et al…”

“…These analyses are based on a heat source model, not considering the thermo-mechanical coupling generated by plastic flow. It is worth mentioning that due to the characteristics of this problem, by using fully coupled thermal-mechanical viscoplastic flow models [11][12][13], good results can be expected where plastic deformations commonly occur. Besides, due to its geometric and kinematic characteristics, the problem is mainly threedimensional, which together with the presence of high strain rate gradients around the probe imposes a high computational demand.…”

“…Estos análisis se basan en un modelo de fuente de calor, sin contemplar el acoplamiento termomecánico provocado por el flujo plástico. Es de destacar que por las características del problema, donde las deformaciones plásticas son dominantes, pueden lograrse buenos resultados empleando modelos de flujo viscoplástico termomecánicamente acoplados (Ulysse [5]; Santiago et al [6,7]; Colegrove et al [8]). …”
