English abstract:
Currently one of the main problems in welding of dissimilar metals is the formation of intermetallic phases at the joining interface. In the case of aluminum-steel dissimilar joints the thickness of the intermetallic layer is a determining factor in predicting potential failures of the weld joint in service. With the aim of supporting further investigation of laser assisted welding of the respective and other dissimilar pairings a multi-physical simulation model has been developed. Along with the physics required for the simulation of other common laser manufacturing processes this model includes multi-species diffusion and a simple reaction model that take advantage of VOF formulation to reproduce the growth of the intermetallic layer. This paper shows an analysis of the dissimilar welding process of aluminum-steel joints making use of this new simulation tool as well as a comparison of the results with experimental data.
