Engineering approximations in welding: Bridging the gap between the speculation and simulation
- Sandia National Lab. (SNL-NM), Albuquerque, NM (United States)
During the course of their careers, welding engineers and welding metallurgists are often confronted with questions regarding welding process and properties that on the surface appear to be simple and direct, but are in fact quite challenging. These questions generally mask an underlying complexity whose underpinnings in scientific and applied research predate even the founding of the American Welding Society, and previous Comfort A. Adams lectures provide ample and fascinating evidence of the breadth and depth of this complexity. Using these studies or their own experiences and investigations as a basis, most welding and materials engineers have developed engineering tools to provide working approaches to these day-to-day questions and problems. In this article several examples of research into developing working approaches to welding problems are presented.
