Resistance Welding Processes Simulation
Resistance welding is a type of welding process in which the heat required to form the weld is generated by the electrical resistance of the materials being combined. It is a more modern form of welding, itself a process that dates back thousands of years. Today, welding provides an effective, robust and economical way of joining metals together. It has distinct advantages over other fastening techniques, considering it does not require any areas of overlap and it can ‘fill’ areas of discontinuity, making it easier to join two pieces of material together that do not exactly fit.
Welding takes place on some of our most important structures and vehicles so it is absolutely vital that the integrity of the weld is maintained. With resistance welding processes simulation applications from ESI Group, that goal can now be achieved far more effectively.
The value of resistance welding processes simulation
The resistance welding processes simulation software package from ESI allows users to minimize the costs involved with prototyping. It also curtails costs associated with distortion repair tasks and allows engineers to develop, and later optimize, the most appropriate welding plan within the shortest possible time frame. It also allows engineers to ensure that welding distortions are kept to tolerable limits to guarantee the best possible weld quality. Stresses in the weld design can also be identified and controlled. ESI’s resistance welding process simulation software allows engineers to predict the effects of heat welding processes, to allow more cost effective distortion engineering and better residual stress control, ultimately leading to greater weld quality.
