FEM-Based Numerical Analysis of the Laser Welding of Air Conditioner Components
Journal Title: Biuletyn Instytutu Spawalnictwa - Year 2018, Vol 62, Issue 3
Abstract
The article presents the FEM-based numerical model of the laser beam welding process. The modelling aimed to identify the effect of technological conditions of the laser welding of elements on the heating dynamics and the maximum temperature of elements being joined. The numerical modelling was performed using the SYSWELD software programme. The elements to be joined were a connector and a ring-like crimped conduit made of corrosion resistant steel grade 316L and 304.
