Coupled simulation of thermal-metallurgical-mechanical behavior in laser keyhole welding of AH36 steel

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of the molten pool in laser keyhole welding was utilized to acquire temperature data for further metallurgical and mechanical calculations. For the CFD simulation, the governing equations were solved, and the scattering and absorption of the laser beam...
