| Title | Modelling, simulation and optimization of HF welding |
| Host institution | EFD Induction; Skien, Norway |
| Brief description | The aim of the project is the simulation of HF welding for the production of steel tubes. The main focus lies in the determination of the temperature profile as an indicator for the quality of the weld. The novelty will be the simulation of the material flow including phase transitions to gain insight of the material structure in the seam. |
