[0002] Aluminum-steel arc fusion brazing is a welding method combining the characteristics of fusion welding and brazing.

Aluminum-steel arc fusion brazing is sensitive to welding parameters (such as welding current, welding speed, butt gap, arc position, welding gun angle, etc.), and small changes in parameters can cause significant changes in weld formation and joint performance. If a numerical model is used to simulate the temperature field changes of the workpiece during the entire welding process, the melting state of the aluminum-steel workpiece can be predicted, and then the joint performance can be predicted.

[0003] Most of the current aluminum-steel arc fusion brazing workpiece temperature field simulation models are models of workpieces, and the arc heat input is applied to the surface of the workpiece by using an analytical formula method, such as a Gaussian heat source or a double-ellipsoid heat source.

However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the scope of the present application, so the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0017] Reference Figure 1The embodiment of the application provides a construction method of an aluminum-steel electric arc fusion brazing workpiece temperature field simulation model, in particular, an aluminum / steel electric arc fusion brazing electric arc-workpiece coupling numerical model, that is, not only the workpiece is modeled, but also the electric arc plasma is modeled; when the welding process parameters are given, the model constructed by the application can calculate the temperature field and heat of the entire electric arc, and the heat is transferred to the workpiece through a fluid-solid coupling model, and then the temperature field of the entire workpiece in the welding process is calculated; thus, by using the scheme, only the process parameters such as welding current, welding speed, and protective gas flow need to be known, and the electric arc temperature, workpiece temperature, and welding thermal cycle curve of any point can be calculated, and the experimental cost is greatly reduced.

[0018] Specifically, I. Simplified conditions.

[0019] In the aluminum / steel MIG electric arc fusion brazing process, the melting point of the base material is different, the heat input control has many influencing factors, and the welding arc is a complex plasma, and the flow and heat transfer process is very complex, the thermodynamic parameters are difficult to solve, and all factors are difficult to consider in numerical calculation; thus, based on the complexity of the aluminum / steel fusion brazing process, the following assumptions and simplifications are made to simplify the model, improve the calculation efficiency, and reduce the calculation cost: ①The initial temperature of the welding part is the same as the environmental temperature, and is set to 300K.

[0020] ②The flow of the entire fluid calculation domain belongs to a laminar state.

[0021] ③The thermodynamic and transport performance parameters of the plasma are temperature-dependent factors.

[0022] ④The plasma is optically thin, does not absorb radiation, and the effects of gravity and viscous dissipation are ignored.

[0025] ⑦The material is a homogeneous continuous medium, and is isotropic, and the physical property parameters change with temperature.

[0026] II. Control equation and source term.

[0027] In the model designed in the application, the electric arc plasma is regarded as a fluid, and the aluminum metal and the steel plate are regarded as solids; for the fluid, heat transfer and fluid flow are considered, and for the solid, only heat transfer is considered; the same conservation equation is solved in the entire calculation domain, but various energy and momentum source terms are added for different stages. The used conservation equation is as follows:

[0028] The mass conservation equation is: .

[0029] The energy conservation equation is: .

[0030] The momentum conservation equation is: .

[0031] Wherein: t represents time, T represents temperature; p , H , l , m respectively represent density, enthalpy, thermal conductivity and viscosity; represents the velocity vector, p represents the pressure, represents the stress tensor; S represents the energy source term, represents the momentum source term.

[0032] The energy source term of the arc plasma includes Joule heat, electron migration heat transfer and radiation loss, so the calculation formula of S is: .

[0033] There are anode / cathode sheath layers deviating from thermal dynamic equilibrium state at the welding wire-plasma interface and the plasma-workpiece interface; therefore, the present application adopts the “LTE-diffusion approximation” method proposed by Lowke et al., which simplifies the complex sheath thermal effect, and is applied to the energy source term of the welding wire-plasma interface S is represented as: .

[0034] In the plasma-workpiece interface, the energy source term S is represented as: .

[0035] Wherein: represents the current density, represents the electrical conductivity, K B represents the Boltzmann constant, e represents the electronic charge, S R represents the radiation loss, j a and j c respectively represent the current density in the anode sheath and the cathode sheath, V ​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​a and V c Vdown,anodeand Vdown,cathode represent the decreasing voltage of anode sheath and cathode sheath, respectively, f a and f c φanodeand φcathode represent the work function of anode and cathode, respectively, e a and e c εanodeand εcathode represent the emissivity of anode material and cathode material, respectively, α σ represents the Stefan-Boltzmann constant.

[0036] The source term of the additional momentum of the fluid region is expressed as: .

[0037] In the arc plasma, only the gravity and electromagnetic force are considered; the electromagnetic force is expressed as: .

[0038] where: Bself represents the self-induced magnetic flux density generated by the welding current, Bext represents the external magnetic flux density induced by the electromagnet.

[0039] The current continuity equation is: .

[0046] where: φ represents the electric potential; m 0 μ0 represents the vacuum permeability; It represents the magnetic vector potential.

[0047] III. Model Establishment.

[0048] This invention establishes a three-dimensional model suitable for aluminum / steel lap arc brazing, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown; the joint workpiece is constructed by overlapping a 200mm×50mm×1mm aluminum alloy plate and a 200mm×50mm×2mm galvanized steel plate; the arc calculation area is a 20mm×20mm×19mm cube, as shown. Figure 4 As shown; the arc calculation domain is set as a moving grid, that is, the arc domain moves along the welding direction, and the moving speed is the welding speed.

[0049] In numerical simulations, the number of grid cells directly impacts computational efficiency. Too many grid cells may cause errors or even crashes during computation, while too few may compromise accuracy. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the impact of grid cell number on computational accuracy while ensuring efficient computation to meet accuracy requirements. The number of elements in the model of this invention is shown in Table 1, ensuring both computational accuracy and high efficiency.

[0050] Table 1 Number of Model Nodes and Elements The mesh density plays a crucial role in the computational efficiency and accuracy of the model. By appropriately controlling the mesh density, both computational efficiency and accuracy can be improved. A denser mesh is used in the main stress-bearing areas of the model to ensure more accurate calculation results in these critical regions. In non-critical areas, a relatively sparse mesh is used to reduce the computational burden and improve efficiency. This invention imports the established 3D model into Ansys Workbench and uses Ansys Mesh for mesh generation. When simulating the temperature field, due to the extremely high and drastic temperature changes in the arc region, a fine mesh is used to obtain more accurate temperature gradient data. Simultaneously, a local mesh refinement method is employed to balance computational efficiency. Larger mesh sizes are selected in areas far from the arc to reduce computational load and increase calculation speed, while smaller mesh sizes are used in areas close to the arc. For the simulation of the stress-strain field, since the stress is located in the plate, the mesh size, although slightly larger than that in the arc region, is still considered fine. Based on the above analysis, the resulting mesh model is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, there are a total of 415,177 nodes and 209,001 cells.

[0051] After the mesh is completed, it is essential to evaluate the rationality of the mesh geometry; the mesh quality has an important influence on the calculation accuracy, so it must be ensured to meet certain standards; when evaluating the mesh quality, the main indicators are the aspect ratio of the unit, the Jacobian ratio, and the unit quality; through the quality index command in Ansys Mesh to check multiple indicators in the mesh.
