Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical model has been proposed to study the relationship between electromagnetic stirring (EMS) weld parameters and the mode of fluid flow on grain refinement of AA 6060 weldments. For this purpose, fluid flow modelling using Navier-Stokes equation is described first, and then, the proposed mathematical approach has been discussed in detail. For demonstration, calculations to determine the fluid velocity in the weld pool of thin plate AA6060 were performed. The application of the model on the experimental results indicates that the best grain refinement is achieved at a transition mode from laminar to turbulent fluid flow.
