Numerical simulation of temperature field of B1500HS steel/Q235 laser tailored blanks by external thermal action

摘要

Taking high-strength B1500HS steel/Q235 laser tailored blanks as the research object, this paper established the finite element model of the laser welding process of high-strength B1500HS steel /Q235 laser tailored blanks based on the theoretical model of laser welding temperature field. The temperature field of laser tailored blanks was numerically simulated under the conventional condition and External Thermal Action (ETA). The thermal cycle curve of welded joints was compared and analyzed, and the influence of welding power and welding speed on the welding width was analyzed. The results show that, under ETA condition, the cooling rate of weld and heat affected zone decreases greatly, and the residence time above the phase transition temperature becomes longer. And it is conducive to the homogenization of austenite structure at high temperature and the coordination of mechanical properties of welded joints. In addition, under the same welding power, the welding width of ETA is wider than that of conventional welding, and the larger the welding speed is, the smaller the welding width is. In order to ensure the penetration of welding, the welding speed should between 2mm/s and 7mm/s.
