Abstract: | In the area of laser welding, numerous studies have been performed in the past decades using either analytical or numerical
approaches, or both combined. However, most of the previous studies were process oriented and modeled conduction and keyhold
welding differently. In this research, various heat source equations that have been proposed in previous studies were calculated
and compared with a new model. This is to address the problem of predicting, by numerical means, the thermomechanical behavior
of laser spot welding for thin stainless steel plates. A finite-element model (FEM) code, ABAQUS, is used for the heat transfer
and mechanical analysis with a three-dimensional plane assumption. Experimental studies of laser spot welding and measurement
of thermal deformation have also been conducted to validate the numerical models presented. The results suggest that temperature
profiels and weld deformation vary according to the heat source equation of the laser beam. For this reason, it is essential
to incorporate an accurate model of the heat source. |
