Analytical three-dimensional temperature field in the liquid and heat-affected zones and prediction of the three-dimensional fusion zone shape around the keyhole produced by a moving high-intensity beam are provided. Determination of the fusion zone
shapes is of fundamental and practical importance to understand properties and microstructures of joints. In this work, the keyhole is idealized by a paraboloid of revolution in a finite workpiece subject to an incident flux of a Gaussian distribution.Introducing analytical solutions of three-dimensional analytical temperature field, the dimensionless width, leading and rear
edges, and depth of the fusion zone are analytically found to be a function of the dimensionless parameters governing beam power per unit penetration, location of the workpiece surface and shape of the keyhole. The dimensionless parameters governing the keyhole shape can be evaluated from a force balance at the keyhole base. The results show the effects of welding parameters, such as the dimensionless beam power, Peclet number, cavity opening radius, Biot number, thickness of workpiece, and the parameter approximating convection, on the shape of the fusion zone and the temperature of keyhole surface. A significant difference in the fusion zone shapes predicted between the line-source solution and this work indicates the strong effects of three-dimensional heat transfer. Agreement between the prediction from this work and available
experimental data is achieved.
