ABSTRACTThe objective of this research is to simulate the complex arc welding process by usingthe finite element method (ANSYS)[ ] . After the model is built and verified, the mainobjective of the research is to study the effects of varying the welding processparameters on the thermo-mechanical responses. In addition to that, the aim of thisresearch is also to find a relationship between welding parameters and thermo-elasto-plastic responses.
In this research paper, the responses of single pass corner-joint of arc welding areevaluated through the finite element software (ANSYS). The study of this researchpaper covers only the effects of varying heat input, welding speed on the thermomechanical responses of the weldment after cooling down to room temperature.Keywords:- Heat, Weld speed, Distortion, Elastic strain, Stress, FEA
INTRODUCTION
The problem of welding distortion during large steel fabrications causes to thedimensional inaccuracies and misalignments of structural members, which can result incorrective tasks or rework when tolerance limits are exceeded. This in turn, increases
the production cost and leads to delays. In fabrication and design industries, expensesfor rework such as straightening could cost lacks of Rupees. Therefore, the problems of distortion and residual stresses are always of great concern in welding industry. In orderto deal with this problem, it is necessary to define prediction of the amount of distortionresulting from the welding operations. One way to predict the distortion and shrinkageof steel welding is through numerical analysis such as finite element analysis (FEA).

Once the techniques of prediction of the distortion and shrinkage are identified, then theproblems can be controlled accordingly.
Within the welding procedures, there are many factors such as welding process type,welding process parameters, welding sequence, preheat patterns, level of constraintand joint details that contribute to the distortion of the welded structure. Knowingwhich parameters have a major effect on the quality of the weld and which parametersgive the most significant effects on the weld quality are the main issues in weldingindustry. The research activity in welding simulation started decades ago. Rosenthal(1941,1946) [37,39,41] was among the first researchers to develop an analytical solution of heat flow during welding based on conduction heat transfer for predicting the shape of the weld pool for two and three-dimensional welds. Understanding of the theory of heat flow is essential in order to study the welding process analytically, numerically orexperimentally since the pioneering work of Rosenthal (1946), considerable interest inthe thermal aspects of welding was expressed by many researchers such as. Chen et al.
(2003) [10] Andrea Capriccioli, (2009) [12] , and Heinze et al. (2012) [13].
PROCEDURE FOR FINITE ELEMENT MODEL
Present work requires that finite element model be created to study the effect of processparameter on, deformation, residual stress & strain. We must setup a transient thermalanalysis to determine thermal state in the weld and surrounding components. Followingthis we are required to import the thermal loading to setup structural analysis whichresults in deformation, residual stress & strain. The weldment material propertiesemployed in this paper were mild steel, which were taken from Andrea Capriccioli et
al. (2009)[12].
To simplify the heat transfer analysis, Dean Deng a,(2007)[2] ,
Bonifaz(2000) [40] , assumptions were made. The heat input from weld electrode is modeled byusing heat flux as input from electrode to weld surface and is depends on the efficiencyof arc and welder setting. The heat flux distribution on the surface of weldment is givenby Goldak et al. (1986) [30]
RESULT
Effect of Heat InputHeat input is one of the most important process parameters in controlling weld
response. It can be referred to as an electrical energy supplied by the welding arc to theweldment. In practice, however, heat input can approximately (i.e., if the arc efficiencyis not taken into consideration) be characterized as the ratio of the arc power suppliedto the electrode to the arc travel speed, as shown in the following equation.

Where, I is welding current; V is welding arc voltage; v is the arc welding speed, and Qis the heat input. In this work, the effect of heat input on welding responses wasevaluated using three values (heat input in Watt), characterized as low, medium, andhigh. Table 1 illustrates the values used for the analyses. This evaluation was carried
out by considering the rest of parameters; welding speed was kept constant at low valueand restraint was kept constant at high value.

ANALYSIS OF RESULTS
Fig 1 shows that x elastic strain and y elastic strains are sensitive to heat input. As heatinput changes strain changes respectively.
Fig 2 shows that stress value decreases as heat input increases. This is due tofact that we cannot consider cooling time in the solution. As we can see from the graphthat X-stress in the vertical plate is more sensitive to the heat input. Also we can seethat Y-stress in horizontal plate is more sensitive to heat input as compare to otherdirectional stresses.
As heat input increases stresses decreases, this is due to the fact material propertiessuch as youngs modulus decreases as temperature in the material increases. As the heatinput increases temperature generates in the plate increases and thus the stressgenerated decreases.
