铝/钢电弧辅助激光熔钎焊接残余应力及焊接变形（英文）

Residual stress and welding distortion of Al/steel butt joint by arc-assisted laser welding-brazing

采用热-弹-塑性有限元法对铝/钢异种金属钨极惰性气体保护(TIG)焊辅助激光对接熔钎焊接(A-LWB)过程进行数值模拟,考虑材料非线性、几何非线性和加工硬化的影响,与单激光焊接(SLWB)过程中温度场、残余应力和焊后变形进行对比。结果表明:数值计算得到的热循环、残余应力和焊接变形与测量结果吻合较好,验证有限元计算方法的有效性。与SLWB相比,A-LWB使得焊缝横向上的高温分布范围变宽,降低焊缝处产生的横向拉应力,缩小焊缝处纵向拉应力的分布范围,在一定程度上减小焊后变形。

The thermo-elastic.plastic finite element method(FEM)is used to simulate the thermo-mechanical behavior of Al/steel tungsten inert gas(TIG)arc-assisted laser welding-brazing(A-LWB)butt joint.The influence of material nonlinearity,geometrical nonlinearity and work hardening on the welding process is studied,and the differences in the welding temperature field,residual stress and welding distortion by A-LWB and by single laser welding-brazing(SLWB)are analyzed.The results show that the thermal cycle,residual stress distribution and welding distortion by the numerical simulation are in good agreement with the measured data by experiments,which verifies the effectiveness of FEM.Compared with the SLWB,A-LWB can make the high-temperature distribution zone of weld in width direction wider,decrease the transverse tensile stress in the weld and reduce the distribution range of longitudinal tensile stress.And the welding deformation also decreases to some extent.
