1.2. Material properties#

The material under consideration is a forged austenitic stainless steel of type 316L (Z2 CND17 -12).

For non-linear thermal modeling, thermal conductivity and the product (density, density, heat capacity \(\rho c\)) vary as a function of temperature. Their values are given in the table below:

\(T\) Temperature (\(°C\))

\(\lambda\) Thermal conductivity (\(W/(\mathrm{mm}°C)\))

\(\rho c\) (\(J/{\mathrm{mm}}^{3}°C\))

\(\beta\) Enthalpy (\(J/{\mathrm{mm}}^{3}\))

1.3. Boundary conditions#

The welding parameters are shown in the table below:

\(I\) (Intensity)

\(U\) (Voltage)

\(V\) (Workpiece speed)

Electrode diameter

\(\mathrm{200A}\)

\(\mathrm{13V}\)

\(14\mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{min}\)

\(3\mathrm{mm}\)

The upper surface of the plate is subjected to the action of a torch. This torch is placed in the center of the plate, \(15\mathrm{mm}\) from the edge, and moves parallel to its length at a constant speed (\(\mathrm{14cm}/\mathrm{min}\)) up to \(\mathrm{85.5mm}\) from the edge corresponding to the flashlight’s off position.

1.4. Initial conditions#

None.
