Laser drilling of titanium and its alloys is widely used in aerospace industry, as it offers selective removal of material at high accuracy and speed. However, laser drilling often inherits defects such as large heat affected zone, micro cracks and recast layer. These defects depend upon ... En savoir plus
A solidification process of casting explosives in shell is studied in this paper. An enthalpy method approach is used to model the solidification process. Both the thermal and mechanical effects are taken into account. An ALE (Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian) method is used to represent ... En savoir plus
Laser percussion drilling is widely used in the aerospace industry to produce cooling holes in jet engine components. This process is a thermal, contact-free process which involves firing a sequence of focused optical pulses onto a target material [1-4]. During each optical pulse, the ... En savoir plus
Metal foams are interesting materials with many potential applications in engineering. Foamed metals or alloys include gas voids in the material structure with the real possibility to modify ad hoc their physical properties. Following our previous efforts aimed to simulate and study the ... En savoir plus
The foaming process of a metal is a complex operation which needs to be closely controlled in order to guarantee the wanted properties, by avoiding the formation of defects in the structure of the material. In this work we use COMSOL Multiphysics® version 4.3b and apply the diffuse ... En savoir plus
The vacuum arc remelting is a refining process used to melt reactive metals like titanium, zirconium or hafnium. Melting is performed under vacuum to avoid reactions between liquid metal and oxygen which could be a source of pollution. This process is particularly well suited to purify ... En savoir plus
An auto-consistent multiphysical 3D model with strong coupling between Heat Transfer, Navier Stokes and ALE problems is proposed for the description of transient development of the keyhole and the melted zone in laser welding of metallic materials. It showed a satisfactory correspondence ... En savoir plus
The present work introduces a new methodology, based on COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder, to account for the “beam trapping” effect in multiphysical modelling of laser welding. Incident intensities involved in laser welding processes are high enough to induce material ... En savoir plus
The heat and fluid flow calculation inside the melt pool in welding processes is a complex challenge. It can be useful to predict defects in the weld seam or to study the influence of some process parameters. Even if the required equations are mastered over the last few years, the cost ...

In order to improve the design of an induction furnace and to optimize the charge melting, a COMSOL Multiphysics® application is developed. This application runs a furnace model. The inductor, supplied with an alternative electrical tension, creates a variable induction field B ⃗. Due to ... En savoir plus
