Abstract

Characteristic dynamics in lava flows, such as the formation processes of lava levees, toe-like tips, and overlapped structures, were reproduced successfully through numerical simulation using the smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method. Since these specific phenomena have a great influence on the flow direction of lava flows, it is indispensable to elucidate them for accurate predictions of areas where lava strikes. At the first step of this study, lava was expressed using a molten metal with known physical properties. The computational results showed that levees and toe-like tips formed at the fringe of the molten metal flowing down on a slope, which appeared for actual lava flows as well. The dynamics of an overlapped structure formation were also simulated successfully; therein, molten metal flowed down, solidified, and changed the surface shape of the slope, and the second molten metal flowed over the changed surface shape. It was concluded that the computational model developed in this study using the SPH method is applicable for simulating and clarifying lava flow phenomena. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Al/Cu dissimilar welding is a key technology for weight reduction in fabricating high-functional products, however, conventional tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding is difficult to be applied due to a large fusion area. The constricted nozzle equipped inside the conventional TIG torch has been developed and can improve the position accuracy of tungsten electrode and arc plasma characteristics, moreover increase the heat input density. In this study, 0.5 mm-thick Al and Cu dissimilar sheets were butt welded using pulsed TIG welding with the constricted nozzle under two welding speed-current combinations of 50 mm/s-85 A and 100 mm/s-105 A. The 50 mm/s-85 A joint exhibited that Al and Cu mixed each other in the entire weld metal, containing two intermetallic compounds (IMC) of Al2Cu and Al4Cu9 mainly in the Al side. In contrast, both elements hardly mixed each other in the 100 mm/s-105 A weld metal and the interface exhibited hook-like shape at a nearly constant pitch, depending on the welding speed and pulse frequency. Consequently, the formation of IMC layers was limited. Based on the three-dimensional images reconstructed using a serial sectioning technique, the hook-shaped Al/Cu interface was also formed inside the weld metal. The mixed-zone volume per unit weld length of the 100 mm/s-105 A joint was estimated to be about 0.12 mm3/mm, and is much smaller than that of the 50 mm/s-85 A joint (0.97 mm3/mm). The average tensile strength of the 100 mm/s-105 A joint were higher than those of the 50 mm/s-85 A joint, suggesting that the hook-shaped Al/Cu interface together with the reduced mixed zone seems to increase the joint strength.
