The total temperature rise in point

is then obtained by superposition of the temperature
fields from the different elementary heat sources, i.e.:
(1-108)
where
In practice, we can subdivide the heat distributions into a relatively small number of el-
ementary point sources, and usually a total number of 8 to 10 sources is sufficient to obtain
good results (i.e. smooth curves). How ever, the relative strength of each heat source and their
distribution along the y- and z-axes must be determined individually by trial and error by
comparing the calculated shape of the fusion boundary with the real (measured) one.
Figure 1.55 show s the results from such calcu lations, carried out for a single pass (bead-in-
groove) GM A steel weld. It is eviden t that the important effect of the weld crater/weld finger
formation on the HA Z peak temperature distribution is adequately accoun ted for by the present
model. A weakness of the model is, of course, that the shape and location ofthefusion bound -
ary must be determined experimentally before a prediction can be made.
1.10.5.2 Simplified solution
Similar to the situation described above, the point heat source will clearly not be a good
model w hen the heat is supplied over a large
area.
Welding with a weaving techn ique and sur-
facing with strip electrodes are prime examples of this kind.
Model (after G rong and Christensen

)
As a first simplification, the Rosen thal thick plate solution is considered for the limiting case
of a high arc power

and a high welding speed D, maintaining the ratio

within a range
applicable to arc welding. Consider next a distributed heat source of net pow er density

schem atically in Fig . 1.56. It follows from eq uation (1-73) that an infinitesimal source dqy
located between

where
erf(u)
is the Gaussian error function (previously defined in Appendix 1.3).
Peak temperature distribution
Because of the complex nature of equation (1-110), the variation of peak temperature with
distance in the
y-z
plane can only be obtained by numerical or graphical methods. Accord-
ingly, it is convenient to present the different solutions in a dimensionless form. The following
parameters are defined for this purpose:
Dimensionless operating parameter:
Dimensionless time:
Dimensionless y-coordinate:
Dimensionless z-coordinate:
(1-111)
(1-112)
(1-113)
(1-114)
(1-115)
By substituting these parameters into equation (1-110), we obtain:
where 0 is the dimensionless temperature (previously defined in equation (1-9)).

The variation of peak temperature

with distance in the
y-z
plane has been numerically
evaluated from equation (1-115) for chosen values of P and 7 (i.e. P = 0,

= 3 /4, P = I , and
7 = 0). The results are presented graphically in Figs. 1.57 and 1.58 for the through thickness
(z

)
and the transverse
(y
=
y
m
)
directions, respectively. These figures provide a systematic
basis for calculating the shape of the weld pool and neighbouring isotherms under various
welding co nditions.
In Fig. 1.59 the weld width to depth ratio has been computed and plotted for different
combinations of
n
w
and 9
p
. It is evident that the predicted w idth of the isotherms generally is
much greater, and the depth correspondingly smaller than that inferred from the point source
mode l. Such deviations tend to becom e less pronounced with decreasing peak temperatures
(i.e.
increasing distance from the heat sou rce). At very large value ofn
w
,the theoretical shape
oftheisotherms approaches that ofasemi-circle, which is characteristic ofapoint heat source.

Consider GMA welding with a weaving technique on a thick plate of low alloy steel under the
following conditions:

Figure 1.60 shows a graphical presentation of the calculated peak temperature contours.
Implications of model
It is evident from Fig. 1.60 that the pred icted shape of the isotherm s, as evaluated from equ a-
tion (1-110), departs quite strongly from the semi-circular contours required by a point heat
source. Mo reover, a closer inspection of the figure shows that inclusion of the he at distribution
also gives rise to systematic variations in the weld thermal programme along a specific
isotherm, as evidenced by the steeper tem pera ture gradient in the v-direction com pared with
the z-direction of theplate.This point is more clearly illustrated in Fig. 1.61, which com pares
the HAZ temperature-time programme for the two extreme cases of
z =
0 and y = 0, re-
spectively. It is obvious from Fig. 1.61 that the retention time within the austenite regime is
considerably longer in the latter case, although the cooling time from 800 to 500

is
reasonab ly similar. These results clearly underline the imp ortan t difference betw een a point
heat source and a distributed heat source as far as the weld thermal program me is concerned .
Model limitations
In the present model, we have used the simplified solution for a fast moving high power
source (equation
1-73))
as a starting point for predicting the te m pera ture- time patte rn. Since
the equations derived later a re ob tained by integrating equation (1-73), they will, of course,
apply only under conditions for which this solution is valid.
Moreover, a salient assumption in the model is that the heat distribution during weaving
can be represented by a linear hea t source orientated perpendicular to the welding direction.
Although this is a rather crude approximation, experience shows that the assumed heat dis-

tribution is not critical unless the rate of weaving is kept close to the travel speed. However,
for most practical applications weaving at such low rates would be undesirable owing to an
unfavourable bead morphology.
Case Study (1.2)
Surfacing with strip electrodes m akes a good case for application of equation (1-110). Specifi-
cally, we shall consider SA welding of low alloy steel with 60mm X 0.5mm stainless steel
electrodes. The operational conditions employed are listed in Table 1.5.
It is evident from the metallograph ic data presented in Fig. 1.62 that neither the bead pen-
etration nor the HA Z depth (referred to the plate surface) can be pred icted readily on the basis
of the present heat flow model when welding is carried out with a consumable electrode,
owing to the formation ofareinforcement. Th is situation arises from the simplifications made
in deriving equation (1-110). The problem , however, may be eliminated by calculating the
depth ofthe

reveals satisfactory agreement between theory and experiments in all three cases, which im-
plies that the model is quite adequate for predicting the HA Z thermal program me as far as strip
electrode welding is concerned. This result is to be expected, since the assump tion of two-
dimensional heat flow is a realistic one under the prevailing circumstances.
Case Study (1.3)
As a second exam ple we shall consider GTA welding (without filler wire additions) at various
heat inputs and amplitudes of weaving w ithin the range from
1
to 2.5 kJ mm
1
and 0 to 15mm,
respectively. Data for welding parameters are given in Table 1.6.

Calibration procedure
In genera l, a com parison betw een theory and experiments requires that the arc efficiency fac-
tor can be established with a reason able degree of accuracy. Unfortunately, the arc efficiency
factor for GTA welding has not yet been firmly settled, where values from 0.25 up to 0.75 have
been reported in the literature (see Table 1.3). Add itional prob lems resu lt from the fact that
only a certain fraction of the total amount of heat transferred from the arc to the base plate is
sufficiently intense to cause m elting. This has led to the introduction of the melting efficiency
factor T]
m
, which normally is found to be 30-70% lower than the total arc efficiency of the
process, depending on the latent heat of melting, the applied amperage, voltage, shielding gas
comp osition, or electrode vertex angle.
23
Consequently, since these parameters cannot readily
be obtained from the literature, the following reasonable values for
r\
m
and
r\
have been as-
sumed to calculate
n
w
in Table 1.6, based on a pre-evaluation of the experimental data:
j
m
=
0.12 (fusion zone),TI= 0.23 (HAZ ).
It should be noted that the above va lues also include a correction for three-dimensional heat
flow, since the assumption of a fast moving high power source during low heat input GTA
welding is not valid. Hence, both the arc efficiency factor and the melting efficiency factor
used in the present case study are seen to be lower than those commonly employed in the
literature.
Full weaving (welds Bl and B2)
The results from the metallographic examination of the two GTA welds deposited under full
weaving conditions are presented g raphically in Fig. 1.63. Note that the shape of the fusion
boundary as well as the
Ac
3
and the
Ac
1
isotherms can be predicted adequately from the present
model for both combinations of
E
and
L
(an exception is the HAZ end points in position
z
= 0),
provided that proper adjustments of
i\
m
and
Tj
are made . The good correlation obtained in Fig.
1.63 between the observed and the calculated peak temperature contours justifies the adapta-
tion of the model to low heat input processes such as GTA welding, despite the fact that the
assumption of two-dimensional heat flow is not valid under the prevailing circumstances.
No weaving (welds B3 and B4)
For the limiting case of no weaving (Fig.
1.64),
the concept of an equivalent amplitude of
weaving has been used in order to calculate the peak temperature contours from the model.
This parameter (designated
L
eq
) takes into account the effects of convectional heat flow in the
weld pool on the resulting bead geometry, and is evaluated empirically from measurements of
the actual weld samples. At low heat inputs (Fig.1.64 a)),the agreement between theory and

experiments is largely improved by inserting2L

7.5mm into equation (1-110), when com -
parison is made on the basis of the point source mo del. In contrast, at a heat input of 2.5 kJ
mm
1
(Fig.1.64 b)),the measured shape of the H AZ isotherms is seen to approach that of a
semi-circle, and hence the deviation between the present model and the simplified solution for
a fast moving high power point source is less apparent.
Intermediate weaving
At intermediate am plitudes of weaving (2L = 5 and 7.5mm, respec tively), convectional heat
flow in the weld pool will also tend to increase the bead width to depth ratio beyond the
theoretical value predicted from the presen t model, as shown in
Fig.
1.65. The plot in

These results suggest that the applied amplitude of weaving must
be quite large before such effects become negligible. Consequently, adaptation of the model to
the weld series considered above would require an empirical calibration of the weaving am pli-
tude similar to that performed in Fig. 1.64 for stringer bead weldments to ensure satisfactory
agreement between theory and experiments.

Thermal conditions during interrupted welding
Rapid variations of temperatures as a result of interruption of the welding operation can have
an adversely effect on the microstructure and consequently the mechanical properties of the
weldment.

Model (after Rykalin

)
The situation existing after arc extinction may be described as shown in Fig. 1.66. From time
t
=

there is no net heat supply to the weldm ent. This cond ition is satisfied if the real source
q

is considered maintained by adding an imaginary source

and sink

of the same
strength at

The temperature at some later time

(measured from the

is then equal to the difference of temp eratures due to the positive heat sources
q

and +q
o
and the negative heat sink -q

. Each of these temperature contributions will be a
product of a pseudo-steady state temperature
T

,
and a correction factor K

or K

(given by
equations (1-49) and (1-82), respectively). Hence, for 3-D heat flow, we have:

(1-117)

Similarly, for 2-D heat flow, we get:

Consider repair welding of a heavy steel casting with covered electrodes under the following

Suppose that a 50mm long bead is deposited on the top of the casting. Calculate the tem-

The pseudo-steady state temperature for points located on the weld centre-line (i|/ = = 0) can

which is equivalent to
LlOJ Thermal conditions during
root
pass welding
During conventional bead-on-plate welding the angle of heat conduction is equal to 180 due
to symmetry effects (e.g. see Fig.1.23). In order to apply the same heat flow equations during
root pass welding, it is necessary to introduce a correction factor,/, which takes into account
variations in the effective heat diffusion area due to differences in the join t geometry. Taking
/equal to 1 for ordinary bead-on-plate welding (b.o.p.), we can define the net heat input of a
groove weld as:
9
(1-118)
Recomm ended values of the correction fa ct or /fo r some joint configurations are given in
Fig. 1.68.
Example (Ll5)
Consider deposition of a root pass steel weld in a double-V-groove with covered electrodes
(SMAW) under the following conditions:
Calculate the cooling time from 800 to 500
0
C (Ar

), and the cooling rate ( C R .) at 650

C
in the centre of the weld when the groove angle is 60.
Solution
The cooling time, Ar

(1-71),
respectively:

The above calculations show that the thermal conditions existing in root pass welding may
deviate significantly from those prevailing during ordinary stringer bead deposition due to
differences in the effective heat diffusion area. These results are in agreement with general
experience (see Fig.1.69).
1.10.8
Semi-empirical m ethods for assessment of bead m orphology
In fusion welding fluid flow phenomena will have a strong effect on the shape of the weld
pool. Since flow in the weld pool is generally driven by a combination of buoyancy, electro-
magnetic, and surface tension forces (e.g. see Fig. 3.10 in Chapter 3 ), prediction of bead mor-
phology from first principles would require detailed cons ideration of the current and heat flux
distribution in the arc, the interaction of the arc with the weld pool free surface, convective
heat transfer due to fluid flow in the liquid pool, heat of fusion, convective and radiative losses
from the surface, as well as heat and mass loss due to evaporation.
Over the years, a number of successful studies have been directed towards numerical weld
pool modelling, based on the finite difference, the finite element, or the control volume ap-
proach.
24
31
Although these studies provide valuable insight into the mech anisms of weld pool
development, the solutions are far too complex to give a good overall indication of the heat-
and fluid-flow pattern. The present treatment is therefore confined to a discussion of factors
affecting the nominal composition of single-bead fusion welds. This composition can be ob-
tained from an analysis of the amount of deposit
D
and the fused part of the base material
B,
from which we can calculate the mixing ratio
BI(B
+ D) or
D I(B + D).
M ethods have been
outlined in the preced ing sec tions for handling such prob lems by m eans of point or line source
mo dels. The following section gives a brief description of procedures which can be used for
predictions of the desired quantities in cases where the classic models break down, or where
the calculation will be too tedious.
1.10.8.1Am ounts of deposit and fused parent metal
The heat conduction theory does not allow for the presence of deposited metal. The rate of
deposition,dM
w
ldt, is roughly proportional to the welding current /, and is often reported as a
coefficient of deposition, defined as:
(1-119)
(1-120)
Since the area of deposited metal
D
is frequently wanted, we may write:
where p is the density, and
v
is the welding speed.

Recommended values of
k'/p
for some arc welding processes are given in Table 1.7. In
practice , the deposition coefficient
k'/p
will also vary with current density and electrode stickout
due to resistance heating of the electrode. Consequently, the num bers contained in Table 1.7
are estimated averages, and should therefore be used with care.

Calculate the mixing ratioBf(B+ D ) at pseudo-steady state.
Solution
The am ount of fused parent material can be obtained from equation (1-75). If we include an
empirical correction for the latent heat of melting, the dimensionless radius vector a

Solution
In this particular case the conditions for a fast m oving high pow er source are not met. Thus, in
order to eliminate the risk of systematic errors, the amount of fused parent metal should be

The above calculations indicate a small difference in the mixing ratio between SA and

between 1/3
and 1/2 is frequently observed for SMAW, while the mixing ratio for SAW is typically 2/3 or
higher. The observed discrepancy betw een theory and experim ents arises probably from diffi-
culties in estimating the amount of fused parent metal from the point heat source model.
1.10.8.2
Bead penetration
It is a general experience in arc welding that the shape ofthefusion bound ary w ill depart quite
strongly from that ofasemi-circle due to the existence of high-veloc ity fluid flow fields in the
weld pool.

31
For combinations of operational param eters within the normal range of arc
welding, a fair prediction of bead penetration
h
can be made from the empirical equation
derived by Jacksonet
al.:
33
(1-121)
A summary of Jackson's da ta is shown in Table 1.8. It is seen that the constant C in equa-
tion (1-121) has a value c lose to
0.024
for SAW and SMA W with E6015 type electrodes, and
about
0.050
for GMAW with

gas.
Penetration measurements of GM A/Ar + O

,
GM A/Ar, and GM A/He welds, on the other hand, show a strong dependence of polarity, and
shielding gas composition, to an extent which m akes the equation useless for a general predic-
tion. Such data have therefore not been included in Table 1.8.
Example (1.18)
Based on the Jackson equation (equation (1-121)), calculate the bead penetration for the two
specific w elds considered in Examples (1.16) and (1.17). Use these results to evaluate the
applicability of the point heat source model under the prevailing circumstances.
Solution
From equation (1-121) and Table 1.8, we have:

Provided that the Jackson equation gives the correct numbers, it is obvious from the above
calculations that the point heat source m odel is not suitable for reliable predictions of the bead
penetration during arc welding. This observation is not surprising.

Local preheating
So far, we have assumed that the ambient temperature
T
0
rema ins constant during the w elding
operation (i.e. is independent of time). The use of a constant value of
T
0
is a reasonable ap-
proxima tion if the work-piece as a whole is subjected to preheating. In many cases , however,
the dimensions of the weldment allow only preheating of a narrow zone close to the weld.
This,
in turn, will have a significant influence on the predicted weld cooling programme, par-
ticularly in the low tem perature regime where the classic models eventually break dow n when
T
approaches
T
0
.
Model (after Christensen
n
)
The idealised preheating model is shown in Fig. 1.70. Here it is assumed that the weld centre-
line temperature is equal to the sum of the contributions from the arc and from the field of
prehea ting. The former contribution is given by equation (1-45) forR
=
-x
=
Vt,provided that
the plate thickness is sufficiently large to maintain 3-D heat flow. Similarly, the tem perature
field due to preheating can be calculated as shown in Sec tion 1.7 for uniaxial heat conduction
from extended sources (thermit we lding). By combining equations (1-45) and (1-22), we
obtain the following relation for the weld centre-line:

on the chosen value ofd.This cooling time is significantly shorter than that calculated from

tions.
