The ISOSPOT-2D Application
Thin Plate Spot Weld Temperature Contours
View the ISOSPOT-2D Control Panel
| ISOPOT-2D is a general purpose application for determining the temperatures adjacent to a spotweld when two dimensional (2D) heat flow predominates. The user must input the weld procedure and ISOSPOT-2D will graphically produce the temperature fields in the surrounding base metal for the chosen metal or alloy. The model is based on the continuous line source solution to the conduction heat flow equation. ISOSPOT-2D can be used for resistance welding, pulse arc welding, laser spot welding, and other short duration welding processes where melting occurs very rapidly. ISOSPOT-2D currently can be used for 12 metals and alloys: 304 stainless steel, 1018 steel, Kovar, Hastelloy C4, Hastelloy C22, Hastelloy B2, Aluminum, Tin, Nickel, Copper, Titanium, and Molybdenum.. | |
