Modelling of composition of non-metallic inclusions in weld metal of high-strength low-alloyed steels

Abstract
Experiments on validation of adequacy of the developed computer software for prediction of the amount and composition of non-metallic inclusions (NMI) in the low-alloyed steel weld metal are described. In addition to modelling of the final amount and composition of NMI, this software allows also the calculation of characteristics of the inclusions which are contained in the weld pool metal in a pre-solidification period of its existence.
Keywords: welding, low-alloyed steel, weld metal, non-metallic inclusions, computer modelling, prediction of composition, adequacy validation
