Modeling and simulation based on finite element method for electron beam welding process

Authors:   Zhengkun Feng, Henri Champliaud

Abstract

Electron beam welding is a type of welding with high energy density that provides advantage for welding thick parts of high strength metal with single pass. In this paper, the development of a thermal structural model based on finite element method is presented. A conical heat source model is applied in the model. The temperature distribution and time history are reported with numerical simulation results. The residual stresses in the fusion zone and the heat affected zones have been analyzed.
