Friction Stir Welding Simulation by Particleworks

Mesh-less CFD for efficient welding of multi-materials

Timetable: 10:00 - 11:00 a.m. CET time
Speaker: Michele Merelli
Language: English

This webinar will introduce and describe the application of meshless CFD to Friction Stir Welding (FSW). FSW is a welding technique used to join different metals / materials by friction generated by a rotating tool.

The meshless CFD software Particleworks has been used to predict the interaction between the tool and the base material and the results have been validated in research projects. Specific models allow Particleworks to accurately predict the plastic flow of softened metals due to frictional heat for different material properties and tool shapes.

This webinar will introduce the simulation approach with practical examples and validation data from the scientific literature.
