Mathematical model for electric arc welding process selection based on static and dynamic characteristics

Welding plays an important role in fabrication and assembly manufacturing. Selecting the appropriate process of electric arc welding is a task assigned to the experience of those who manufacture. The materials selection for applications is as important as the selection of the manufacturing process. The consequences of not perceiving this scope cause affectation in the performance or in the life of the element. This work proposes the study of the microstructures formed in materials affected by welding processes and the changes in their mechanical properties that contribute to the performance of the fabricated elements. It is expected to identify numerically these changes and thus formulate mathematically the influence on the expected performance. It constitutes an element of analysis for the selection of the adequate electric arc welding process.
