Solidification behaviour controls the size and shape of grains, the microstructure, the extent
of segregation, the distribution of inclusions, the extent of defects such as porosity and hot …

The automotive industry is facing demands simultaneously to increase its fleet average fuel
economy and to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases by its products. In order to meet …

The published literature on variable weld penetration has been reviewed and evaluated,
with particular respect to autogenous TIG and laser welding processes. It was concluded …

The main emphasis of this review is on thermal modelling and prediction of laser welding in
metals. However as similar techniques are employed to model conventional welding …

By combining a mathematical model of the welding arc and of the weld pool, calculations
are presented to describe the free surface temperature of weld pools for spot welding …

In Part 1 of the paper, the results of the heat flow and the fluid flow analysis are presented.
Here, in Part II of the paper, predictions of the computational model are verified by …

In this study, fluid flow driven by a combination of electromagnetic force, buoyancy force, arc
drag force, and surface tension gradient is numerically analyzed for a partially or fully …

A mathematical model and the associated numerical technique have been developed to
simulate, for the first time, the dynamic impinging process of filler droplets onto the weld pool …

A mathematical model was developed to calculate the transient temperature and velocity
distributions in a stationary gas tungsten arc (GTA) weld pool of 304 stainless steels with …

Mathematical models of the gas metal arc (GMA) welding process may be used to study the
influence of various welding parameters on weld dimensions, to assist in the development of …
