Abstract

In the present work, tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding was carried out on stainless steel pipe joints and the heat transfer behaviour for various welding heat input was analysed. In this work austenitic stainless steel of grade 304L was used and the experiment was carried out on bead on plate and weld profile was analysed. The bead profile was obtained from the experiment and microstructure was characterized. The bead profile dimensions from the experiment were used in the calibration of heat source model during finite element heat transfer analysis. Based on the calibrated heat source model, TIG welding of stainless steel pipes was analysed. Numerical simulation was considered as conduction heat transfer analysis and weld pool convection was neglected in the model. The non-linear transient heat transfer analysis was carried out on pipes and thermal cycles at various locations were analysed.
