螺旋埋弧焊管焊接过程的三维数值模拟

Three-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Spiral Welded Pipe Submerged-arc Welding

利用大型通用有限元分析软件ABAQUS,建立了螺旋焊管双丝埋弧焊温度场的有限元计算模型。通过ABAQUS软件的FORTRAN语言编写焊接子程序DFLUX,结合"生死"单元技术,模拟了螺旋焊管双丝埋弧焊的内外焊接过程,实现在移动热源载荷下的有限元计算,获得了焊接过程和冷却后的温度场分布,以及在整个管体上的分布情况。结果表明,在焊接过程中焊缝附近温度梯度很大,在远离焊缝的地方温度梯度渐渐趋于平缓;随着热源的移动,温度中心也随之移动,最高温度可达母材的熔点。通过试验验证,与仿真结果比较吻合。

By using large-scale general finite element analysis software ABAQUS, the finite element calculation model of spiral welded pipe two-wire submerged arc welding temperature field was built. The inside and outside welding process of spiral welded pipe two-wire submerged arc welding was simulated based on welding subroutine DFLUX which was compiled by FORTRAN language, combined with the element of birth and death technology in three-dimensional finite element method. It also realized finite element calculation under moving heat source load, and obtained temperature fields distribution in welding process, after cooling down, and in the full pipe body. The results indicated that during welding process, the temperature gradient near weld is large;it is tend to smooth transition far away from the weld. With welding heat source moving, the temperature center also move, the highest temperature can reach the melting point of base metal. Through the experiment, it is consistent with simulation results.
