SIMULACIÓN DE LA TEMPERATURA EN EL PROCESO "FRICTION STIT WELDING" (FSW) DE ALUMINIO AA 1100-0 // SIMULATION OF THE TEMPERATURE IN THE PROCESS FRICTION STIR WELDING" (FSW) OF AA 1100-0 ALUMINIUM

The work presented shows the simulated values of the temperatures experimentally un-dertaken in [1] and [11] during friction stir welding (FSW) of AA 1100-0 aluminum plates. This is done using the finite element method (FEM). We studied the behavior of temperature by applying MEF to the heat transfer equation used by [9]. The methodology used allowed modeling the problem using the software ABAQUS /CAE v6.7-1 with elements hexahedral of eight nodes and tetrahedral of four nodes. The simulation of the AA 1100-0 aluminum FSW reported a temperature difference of 80.3 C compared to the maximum value obtained experimentally by [1]. The result shows that the process modeling allows to predict the thermal behavior of the weld. // RESUMEN: The work presented shows the simulated values of the temperatures experimentally un-dertaken in [1] and [11] during friction stir welding (FSW) of AA 1100-0 aluminum plates.
