Abstract
The presence of porosity inherited from a fusion welding operation degrades the mechanical properties of components during performance such as fatigue life. In this study, a physicsbased model including heat transfer, fluid flow, interfacial processes and microstructure prediction via cellular automata has been developed and used to simulate porosity formation during laser welding of Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy. The model results are compared with: measurements of porosity from welded samples using X-ray tomography; optical images; texture measurement via EBSD and neutron diffraction. These are used to provide a better understanding of the relationship between process parameters, component microstructure and weld integrity.
