Abstract

In In this work the methods are developed to perform simulations of the friction stir welding process using the ANSYS software working scheme, developing multiphysics couplings between computational fluid dynamics tools to Model the viscoplastic effect of the fluidity of the material when it is stirred by means of a solid tool modeled in the Transient Structure application that allows calculating the thermo-mechanical effects of the study process. The results show the validations corresponding to the modeled and experimentally performed analysis showing a lot of reliability in the proposed method. The torque reached in the process is maintained in the ranges of 14 Nm, the maximum temperature reached in the process was 540°C, this being 78.3% of the melting temperature of the material studied, having an adequate range for these studies.
