Transient Temperature Field Calculation

Calculation of time- and spatially varying temperature distributions during the welding process using finite elements.

Physico-Chemical Working Principle

Transient temperature field calculation models how temperature changes over time and space. It accounts for the material's thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, and heat dissipation.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

This calculation helps optimize the welding process to avoid porosity and control weld hardness. Incorrect settings can lead to uneven cooling, which may cause cracks or material damage.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use CAD software to model the welding process. Set the correct material parameters and solve the finite element model. Check results for porosity and hardness distribution. Adjust welding parameters (temperature, time) accordingly.
