Fluid Flow Characteristics and Weld Formation Quality in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of a Thick-Sheet Aluminum Alloy Structure by Varying Welding Position

Fluid Flow Characteristics and Weld Formation Quality in Gas Tungsten Arc Welding of a Thick-Sheet Aluminum Alloy Structure by Varying Welding Position

This study aims to reveal the cause of different weld formation quality for varying welding position in the GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding) of a thick-sheet aluminum alloy structure. The fluid flow characteristics of weld pools are investigated by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamic) modeling and high-...
