gas metal arc welding, numerical modeling, particle size distribution, chemical compositionAbstract
Formation of particles in a fume plasma obtained from the gas metal arc welding is investigated by the numerical modeling of the plasma evolution. The model of welding fume plasma evolution includes the following processes: vapor emission from the arc zone and mixing with a shielding gas, plasma formation, nucleation, nucleus growth via the material condensation and coalescence, solidification of liquid droplets into primary particles, and coagulation of primary particles into inhalable particles in the breathing zone. The computed results are compared with experimental data on the specific surface area, chemical composition, and dependence of the particle sizes on the shielding gas temperature.
