Thermal Analysis Estimation of Dissimilar Materials with Abaqus

This project’s objectives are to gain a better understanding of friction stir welding, investigate thermal stresses, and examine temperature distribution through finite element analysis using simulation using Abaqus, a software program used for mechanical component modelling and analysis. The characteristics and compatibility of various materials must be verified here by modelling and simulation approaches. Because of this, the combination of nickel and stainless steel produces better results in friction stir welding than the combination of copper and aluminium. Additionally, the average heat flux produced by the combination of nickel and stainless steel is lower than that of the combination of copper and aluminium. A solid-state welding technique called friction stir welding is carried out at a temperature where the metals recrystallize. This procedure creates welds by compressing workpieces that are spinning or moving in relation to one another. Heating from friction at the interface produces the heat needed to unite various specimens. the heat produced by friction between the pin and the shoulder of the wear-resistant welding tool. The benefits of friction stir welding stem from its special ability to weld without the need for consumables or shielding element approaches. The flawless, excellent weld is the result.
