摘要：Thermoelectric currents (TECs) caused by Seebeck effect were usually neglected in welding simulation. This paper characterizes the TECs and thermoelectric-magnetic phenomena during the magnetically supported laser beam welding (MSLBW) of thick aluminum (Al) alloy. The simulation is based on a computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model developed in three dimensions. The model considers multi-physical mechanisms including thermal transfer, solid–liquid (S/L) transition, molten metal convection, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) and Seebeck effect. The computed TEC distribution in laser welding pool highly depends on welding time and temperature gradient. The large current densities occur near the weld pool edge and the vectors are opposite at both side of S/L interface. The maximum TEC density obtained in the stabilized weld pool is 2.14 × 106 A/m2, leading to a self-induced magnetic field of 2.27 × 10−3 T and a Lorentz force of 2.62 × 103 N/m3. The influences of TECs on weld pool dynamics are quite limited in LBW but notable in MSLBW. The inversion of MF direction leads to different Lorentz force distributions, weld pool dimensions and seam profiles. The simulation data agrees well with the experimental results. © 2018
