Abstract
Integrated computational materials engineering (ICME) is an emerging discipline that can accelerate product development and unify design and manufacturing. This paper summarizes the ICME applications for optimizing welding and thermal-forming processes. In the first application, numerical analyses were conducted to control weld distortion by using intermittent welding to replace full-length double-sided fillet welds and adapting new low heat-input processes such as the hybrid laser-arc welding process. In the second application, an existing software tool was validated and applied to automate thermal plate forming, a process which has been extensively used in the shipbuilding industry to form curved plates for several decades.
