Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Electrode Inclination on Temperature Distribution during GMAW Overlaying

الملخص EN

In the work, an analysis of the influence of electrode inclination on the distribution of temperature in the weld overlaying has been conducted.

In the analytical description of the temperature field, a volumetric heat source model with an inclined axis with respect to the direction of surfacing was adopted.

In the numerical simulation, the own theoretical model of heat source, algorithm, and program performed in the Borland Delphi environment were used.

In the calculation examples, different electrode inclination angles were adopted in relation to the welded plate, in the direction of surfacing, opposite to the direction of welding, and perpendicular to the weld bead.
