Simulation of Temperature Distribution and Microstructure Evolution in the Molten Pool of GTAW Ti-6Al-4V Alloy

In this paper, a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model was established by ABAQUS software to simulate the welding temperature field of a Ti-6Al-4V alloy under different welding currents based on a Gaussian heat source model. The model uses thermo-mechanical coupling analysis and takes into acc...
