Abstract

In this study, we focus on predicting the HAZ, which is a region whose mechanical properties are not clearly known, by modeling factors such as temperature input and heat turbulence, which may have different properties in the welding region. This is important for the safety of welded structures, because if the mechanical and thermal properties of these structures, which are used in many areas, can be determined in advance, they can be used more safely. In the study, flash butt welding method was preferred and holes were opened at regular intervals in the samples that were brought to appropriate dimensions for the welding process, and temperature values were measured and recorded using thermocouples and data loggers during the welding process. Additionally, the maximum temperature reached in the welding area was measured using a thermal camera during welding. Microstructural changes occurring in the joining regions of the welded test pieces were examined using light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Micro hardness measurements were made to determine mechanical properties. Using the ANSYS program, three-dimensional models were created using the finite element method under the same experimental conditions and compared with the experimental results. As a result of this comparison, it was seen that the findings were compatible with the actual results. For this reason, it is emphasized that the use of simulation programs is important to predict the properties of welded structures and possible problems.
