Description
Summary:The joints of aluminum alloy frames are usually welded by manual TIG welding. In order to study the distribution law of welding stress level and welding temperature field of intersecting joints of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy bicycle frames, a intersecting joints model of welding parts was established by Finite Element Model (FEM), Software. Based on ABAQUS software, the welding temperature field and welding stress field were studied and analyzed by using direct thermal coupling method. The accuracy of welding simulation is fully verified, which can meet the simulation requirements required for the subsequent optimization process design, and achieve the purpose of shortening the time required for the accumulation of practical inspection.
