Aplicación para la simulación de la geometría de uniones soldadas a tope de la aleación AA 6063-T5

SIMULATION APPLICATION FOR THE GEOMETRY OF THE BUTT WELD JOINTS OF THE ALLOY AA-6063-T5

Resumen

Weld bead geometry plays an important role in determining the mechanical properties of a structure. Geometric parameters as penetration, width, thickness and weld bead angle depend on the variables of the welding process, such as the distance between edges to be joined, welding velocity, arc voltage and electrode feed rate. In the present work it is performed a software application which can simulate the geometry of butt joints of AA 6063-T5 aluminium alloy. For that, it has been obtained a model by the response surface methodology that has been implemented in the computer application.
