Abstract:In the present investigation, the numerical code WELDSIM is used to simulate butt welding of 4 mm thick plates of S355 steel and AA6082-T6 by Hybrid Metal Extrusion and Bonding (HYB). This is a new solid state joining process using continuous extrusion as a technique to enable aluminium filler metal additions. In WELDSIM, the finite element heat flow model is coupled to a frictional heating model, an isokinetic diffusion model for the interfacial intermetallic compound (IMC) formation and a nanostructure model… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
