Registration for webinar on modeling laser welding processes, May 9th: https://lnkd.in/d_swHu-r Slides and recording will be sent to all registrants. Simulation is of a pulsed laser welding an Al alloy t-joint with beam defocus, tracking temperature and melt volume. I always find it interesting to watch the "stacked dime" effect created during welding processes driven by metal convection and solidification with the interplay of recoil and marangoni forces. It's a very challenging phenomena to model given the truly multiphysics nature. In the webinar next week my colleague Garrett Clyma is going to go into the detail of how we do this stuff in FLOW-3D WELD. #welding #manufacturing #metals

Curious about how CFD is used to address the complexities of welding dissimilar metals? At the FABTECH Expo, discover how FLOW-3D WELD delivers powerful insights into laser welding processes such as the one shown here. In this simulation of a pulsed laser welding process for steel and aluminum in a lap configuration, you can observe how the mixing of steel and aluminum is governed by diffusion, buoyancy, and evaporation pressure within the melt pool—factors that can potentially lead to the formation of brittle intermetallic phases. FLOW-3D WELD captures these dynamics while modeling key parameters like laser power, heat flux profile distribution, pulse duration, and scan paths. The result? A deeper understanding of how process variations affect the thickness of the inter-metallic compound layer and help minimize porosity and crack propagation. Stop by booth S18194 from October 15-17 to meet our CFD experts and see how FLOW-3D WELD can help you improve your welding processes. 

On Sept. 19 I'll be giving a webinar hosted by the Association of Industrial Laser Users (AILU) on using melt pool modeling to optimize laser welding processes. Registration link: https://lnkd.in/eB6aXvzd I'll cover fundamentals of melt pool modeling in FLOW-3D WELD and how we can use CFD to gain actionable process insights. Additionally, I'll cover some relevant case studies from our user base including: 🌀 Porosity prediction and mitigation 🌪 Welding dissimilar materials in battery casings and busbars 🌫 Controlling microstructure evolution to improve mechanical properties Presentation will be live at 10am EDT / 3pm BST, but recording will be sent to ALL registrants 😉 #welding #metals #lasers

💡Did you know that Simufact Welding excels in simulating Resistance Spot Welding processes with remarkable accuracy? The tool predicts the impact of various parameters, including spot sequence, welding process parameters (force, current, time), and fixturing/clamping strategy on the weld structure. Simufact Welding's flexibility shines through in the simulation, offering different modes such as thermomechanical, mechanical with electrode movement, and simplified configurations. This flexibility allows for swift simulations even in the case of complex assemblies. ❓Want to explore how multiple parameters impact weld structures?

In this video, we explore how Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) is revolutionizing production methods. WAAM uses an arc welding process to melt wires, creating robust parts capable of withstanding high dynamic loads, making it a game-changer for various industries. Before physical production, thermomechanical simulations in Abaqus are crucial to predict residual stress and optimize the manufacturing process.
