Abstract
This paper deals with the sufficient conditions under which instantaneous heat source can be considered as welding heat source instead of moving source. Temperature rises calculated by instantaneous source and moving one were compared. The applicable conditions of the instantaneous heat source with errors of 1% and 5% were found. This enables us to select either moving or instantaneous source with information of welding speed, thermal diffusivity and the distance from the weld centre line to the interested location. Approximate equations to determine the maximum temperature rise using a moving source were proposed and the accuracy of their calculation was proved to be ∼99%.
