Abstract:Metal vapour from the weld pool in double electrodes tungsten inert gas welding is taken into account by a unified numerical model including the arc plasma and the weld pool. The thermodynamic properties and transport coefficients of the arc plasma are dependent on both the local temperature and the mass fraction of the metal vapour. A second viscosity approximation is used to describe the diffusion coefficient of the metal vapour in the arc plasma. The temperature and the flow fields of both the arc plasma and the weld pool are calculated together with the metal vapour concentration. The simulated results are presented for the cases of 3 and 9 mm electrode separation, respectively. It is shown that the metal vapour behavior is much different in these two cases. In the case of 3 mm electrode separation, the metal vapour above the mass fraction of 0.2% is concentrated just above the weld pool surface, while in the case of 9 mm electrode separation, the metal vapour is diffused to the most region of the arc plasma for the same range of mass fraction. In addition, the arc plasma temperature as well as the heat flux at the weld pool is constricted by the presence of the metal vapour. The constricted heat flux at the weld pool results in an increase in the temperature of the weld pool about 100 K or less but a slight shrinkage of the weld pool shape.
