摘要：A comprehensive methodology for the analysis of thermal analysis due to welding has been studied in this present investigation. A finite volume methodology (FVM) among term of the basic heat transfer equation was enforced to simulate the temp erature profiles in submerged arc welding (SAW) of AISI 1518 grade steel. The supply of the arc is assumed to b e a moving conicoidal heat supply with a Gaussian distrib ution. The obtained results from the simulation methodology are compared with experimental results and determined a good agreement with experimental results, with associate degree overall proportion of error calculable to be between 5.23%. The influence of welding current and speed of temperature analysis has been evaluated and located that each one those parameters are playing a necessary role in moving the temperature distrib ution of the assembly, i.e.when current inflated, the temp erature conjointly inflated with constant speed yet like higher speed temperature is decreased for constant current . Finally, the influence of heat input on peak temperature variations in various welding parameters has been evaluated and shown that the higher heat input in higher temperature is obtained.
