A 3D Numerical Fem Model For The Simulation Of Induction Welding Of Tubes

In the present paper, two simulation strategies for tube induction welding process are presented. Coupled electromagnetic and thermal problem is solved by applying three-dimensional FEM models. The resulting power density and temperature distribution are compared. Reported strategies can be used to design tube induction welding devices and to verify the influence of the main parameters of the process, i.e. welding velocity, frequency, specific and total power.
