Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
A multi-scale multi-physics modeling framework has been developed to predict solidification cracking susceptibility (SCS) during welding. The framework integrates a thermo-mechanical finite element model to simulate temperature and strain rate profiles during welding, a cellular automata model to simulate the solidified microstructure in the weld pool, and a granular model to calculate the pressure drop in the mushy zone. Verification was achieved by comparing the model's predictions with welding experiments on two steels, demonstrating its capability to accurately capture the effects of process parameters, grain refinement, and alloy composition on SCS. Results indicate that increasing welding velocity, while maintaining a constant power-to-velocity ratio, extends the size of the mushy zone and increases the maximum pressure drop in the mushy zone, leading to higher SCS. Grain refinement decreases separation velocities and the permeability of liquid channels, which increases SCS, but it also raises the coalescence temperature, resulting in an overall reduction in SCS. Alloy composition impacts SCS through thermal diffusivity and segregation. Lower thermal diffusivity or stronger segregation tends to elongate the mushy zone, resulting in an increase in SCS. This framework provides a robust tool for understanding the mechanisms of solidification cracking, optimizing welding parameters to prevent its occurrence, and comparing SCS of different compositions during alloy design.
