Week 3 Verification of Weld Joints

Objective : Weld joints

Case 1. Stainless Steel: In this case, the material of the plates must also be the same. Use Stainless steel for both weldments and plates. No need to add flux to the weldments

Model of weld joint

Meshing of 6mm

Applying Force of 15000N

Result:

Equivalent Stress

Directional Deformation

Case 2. Aluminium Alloy:The material to be chosen for this case is Aluminium alloy(high strength, wrought). [Plate material to be used is stainless steel]

Equivalent Stress

Directional Deformation

Equivalent Strain

Case 3.Bronze: In order to simulate "Brazing", you should be using bronze as the weld material. Assign Stainless Steel to both plates and Copper to the "Ribs"

Equivalent Stress

Directional Deformation

Equivalent Strain
