NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF TEMPERATURE FIELD DURING HARDFACING PROCESS AND COMPARISON WITH EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

Abstract

The three-dimensional transient nonlinear thermal analysis of the hard facing process is performed by using the finite element method. The simulations were executed on the open source Salome platform using the open source finite element solver Code Aster. The Gaussian double ellipsoid was selected in order to enable greater possibilities for the calculation of the moving heat source. The numerical results were compared with available experimental results.
