Analytical Modeling of a Heat Source under Welding of a Steel Sleeve by the Centrifugal Method Using an Axisymmetric Electric Arc by S. P. Glushko

“…Therefore, in order to exclude most of the experimental components when modeling the heat source and heat flow distribution of the facing process (bimetallization) of the inner surface of steel sleeves under heating by an independent axisymmetric electric arc, the author in this paper proposes an analytical solution for calculating the effective heat flow density in the form of an exponential function. This function allows determining the heat concentration coefficient of an independent axisymmetric electric arc during the facing process, which is required to increase the accuracy of calculating the temperature field of the bimetallized sleeve and improve the temperature control of the thermal parameters of the technological process.…”
