Abstract

Welding is a permanent metal joining process in which molten metal is applied in the joint with or without applying pressure and heat. Filler material is chosen in such a manner that it is exactly as the parent metal when solidified after welding. A weld can be qualified as good weld as it should not have any surface or internal defects and its weld strength should be close to the parent metal. One such attempt is made in this project. Through study of basics of welding. TIG welding, Ti alloy and welding simulation in ANSYS, based on the study initial trials were carried to simulate welding in CAE. Results like thermal distribution and structural distortion were obtained for various parameter combinations and suggested for welding. Welding was carried out based on the parameters suggested and resulted in a good weld.
