Abstract

Mathematical model is formulated for description of thermophysical processes at laser welding of metal plates for the case when modifying nanoparticles of refractory compounds (nanopowder inoculators – NPI) are introduced into the weld pool. Specially prepared nanoparticles of refractory compounds serve here as crystallization centers, i.e. in fact they are exogenous inoculants on which surface clusters are grouped. This can be used to control the melt crystallization process and formation of its structure, and, therefore, properties of the weld seam. As an example, calculation results of the butt welding of aluminum alloy and steel plates are presented. The results of calculation and experimental data comparison are shown.

Summary

Introduction

In the last years increasing attention has been paid to development of technology for laser welding of metal products. In this connection, development of appropriate mathematical models and numerical algorithms for their implementation is a pressing problem [1,2]. A mathematical model is developed in this work for description of thermophysical processes at laser welding of metal plates for the case when modifying nanoparticles of refractory compounds (nitrides, oxides, etc) are introduced in the molten pool. The mathematical model proposed is based on non-equilibrium birth and growth of crystal phase on the inoculants, which are the nanoparticles, with use of the Kolmogorov’s theory for calculation of the solid phase fraction.
