Numerical simulation of thin plates welding
A 3D mathematical model and numerical simulations based on this model are presented for studies of a laser butt welding between two aluminium alloy AL2 plates. Shape and depth of the steam channel, length of the welding pool, width of the weld seam, and temperature field in the pool and on the plates are calculated. The shape and depth of the melting zone obtained by numerical and experimental means are compared. The comparison shows satisfactory agreement between these results.
