Abstract
The keyhole plasma arc welding (K-PAW) is widely applied in engineering project now as a high energy beam welding with its advantages of low-cost and easy operation. However, the arc instability may arise and welding defects will be produced in K-PAW due to the high current and strong plasma penetrating force when medium thickness plates are welded, finally weakening the efficiency of K-PAW. Furthermore, it is found that the flow field of liquid metal in the molten pool and the stability of keyhole have a critical influence on welding quality. Therefore, modeling and simulating molten pool, keyhole and flow field in the K-PAW quasi steady process except for arc starting and ending phases are helpful to understand the welding process theory completely and promote its application further. But to date, there is little study on the coupled analysis of molten pool and keyhole in the quasi steady welding process due to the difficulty to make keyhole stable. In this work, based on the principles of fluid dynamics with considering arc pressure, surface tension, electromagnetic force, buoyancy and gravity, a *国家自然科学基金资助项目51205176 收到初稿日期: 2015-10-07,收到修改稿日期: 2015-12-23 作者简介:徐斌,男, 1988年生,博士生 DOI: 10.11900/0412.1961.2015.00518 第804-810页 pp.804-810
