Prediction of HAZ Microstructure and Hardness for Q960E Joints Welded by Triple-Wire GMAW Based on Thermal and Numerical Simulation

Since heat affected zone (HAZ) is the weak area of welded joints, this article proposes a method to predict the HAZ microstructure and hardness for the triple-wire gas metal arc welding (GMAW) process of Q960E high strength steel. This method combines welding thermal simulation and numerical simulat...
