K-TIG焊接熔池行为数值模拟

Numerical simulation of weld pool behavior in K-TIG welding

  • 摘要: 针对K-TIG焊接熔池行为,利用Level-Set方法追踪熔池自由表面变化,建立了定点焊接二维轴对称的瞬态数值计算模型,分别探究了浮力、电磁力、电弧压力、等离子流剪切力和表面张力对熔池行为的影响.结果表明,在浮力、等离子流剪切力和表面张力温度系数为负(∂σ/∂T < 0)时的Marangoni力单独作用时,熔池内部形成由内向外的流动,而在电磁力与表面张力温度系数为正(∂σ/∂T > 0)时的Marangoni力单独作用时,熔池内部形成由外向内的流动;等离子流剪切力与表面张力分别单独作用下的熔池液态金属流速处于同一数量级,而表面张力作用下液态金属流速更大,与之相比,浮力、电磁力和电弧压力对熔池对流的作用较小,而电弧压力的作用最小.浮力、电磁力、∂σ/∂T > 0时的Marangoni力单独作用时,熔池表面略微凸起,当等离子流剪切力、∂σ/∂T < 0时的Marangoni力、电弧压力单独作用时,熔池表面均产生凹陷变形,而电弧压力作用下的熔池表面凹陷变形最大.模拟结果与实验结果吻合良好,验证了模型的准确性.

     

    Abstract: For the weld pool behavior in K-TIG welding, the Level-Set method was used to track the changes in the free surface of the weld pool, and a two-dimensional transient numerical calculation model for stationary welding was established. The influences of buoyancy, electromagnetic force, arc pressure, plasma flow shear force, and surface tension on the weld pool behavior were investigated. The results show that when the buoyancy, plasma flow shear force, and Marangoni force with a negative temperature coefficient of surface tension (∂σ/∂T < 0) act individually, an outward flow forms inside the weld pool; whereas when the electromagnetic force and Marangoni force with a positive temperature coefficient of surface tension (∂σ/∂T > 0) act individually, an inward flow forms inside the weld pool. The flow velocities in the weld pool under the individual actions of plasma flow shear force and surface tension are of the same order of magnitude, but the flow velocity under the action of surface tension is higher. In comparison, the buoyancy, electromagnetic force, and arc pressure have a smaller effect on the convection in the weld pool, among which the arc pressure has the smallest effect. When the buoyancy, electromagnetic force, and Marangoni force with ∂σ/∂T > 0 act individually, the surface of the weld pool slightly bulges. When the plasma flow shear force, Marangoni force with ∂σ/∂T < 0, and arc pressure act individually, the surface of the weld pool exhibits concave deformation, and the maximum concave deformation occurs under the action of arc pressure. The simulation results agree well with the experimental results, verifying the accuracy of the model.
