Instructions:

  1. Before starting the process read the instructions completely
  2. Select either Laser Welding or Friction Stir Welding
  3. If Laser Welding is selected follow the below steps.
    • Select either Meltpool and Temparature Evaluation or Laser Power Profile
    • If Meltpool and Temparature Evaluation is selcted then follow the below dteps
      • Select one Laser-Power (in Watts) value from 1000, 1500 or 2000 radio buttons
      • Select one Scan-speed (in mm/sec) value from 1200, 1300 or 1500 radio buttons
      • Click on Submit button and wait for the generation of the result
      • Observe the out put below and its result
      • Repeat the experiment by selecting the different values and Submit
    • If Laser Power Profile is selcted then follow the below dteps
      • Enter the value of Beam Diameter (cms) radio buttons
      • Enter the value of Power (Watts) radio buttons
      • Click on Submit button and wait for the generation of the result
      • Observe the Power Distribution on Focal Plane graph
      • Repeat the experiment by entering the different values and Submit
    • Repeat the experiment by selecting the other tecnique.
  4. If Friction Stir Welding is selected follow the below steps.
    • Select the Rotation Speed (RPM) from dropdown list
    • Enter the Weld Speed (mm/min) in the input box with in the range of (0-450)
    • Click on Submit button to start the process
    • Observe the calculated Torque (N-m) value after the process
    • Repeat the experiment with different values
  5. Repeat the experiment with different Welding Technique
