Heat transfer modelling of rail thermite welding

Last updated on 16 October 2014 11:33

Rail thermite (or Thermit®) welding is a valuable welding technology for the railway industry because of its simplicity, portability, and economy. Using the finite-element method, a heat transfer analysis is conducted in this study. Only the heat transfer by conduction was simulated explicitly in the model, the other thermally significant...
