Abstract

The multi-pass double-sided arc welding (DSAW), as an advanced connection method, is typical for T-joints in large-scale arc structures. However, due to unknown deformation on reserved-clearance in the welding process, non-penetration is likely to occur. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out welding deformation prediction and reserved-clearance calculation. In this paper, a dynamic heat distribution model and TEP-FE approach is presented to calculate the welding deformation on reserved-clearance. Furthermore, a deformation pattern is suggested to predict the clearance change. Firstly, a dynamic heat distribution and moving heat approach is proposed to calculate the temperature field of the DSAW process. Afterwards, the thermal elastic–plastic (TEP) finite element (FE) analysis is applied to calculate the welding deformation in the DSAW process. The heat distribution and moving heat function is iterated to the TEP-FE analysis as a subroutine. Heat convection and radiation dissipation are taken into consideration in the DSAW process. Compared with the previous welding calculation methods, the new method focuses on real-time deformation on reserved-clearance and arc-track moving heat source. Finally, the calculated results in TEP-FE analysis are verified by the measurement results. The welding deformation on reserved-clearance is in good agreement with the experimental results. The error of maximum reserved-clearance deformation between calculation and experimental is 7.8%.
