Thermophysical Model of Electron Beam Boriding of Titanium Alloy VT-1

Abstract

The article is aimed at developing a thermophysical model of electron beam boriding of titanium alloy VT-1. Features of introducing of the focused electron beam into titanium alloy VT-1 were investigated. Modeling of thermophysical processes was carried out using the COMSOL Multiphysics software complex. The stages of constructing a mathematical model of thermal fields arising in the sample during electron beam processing are considered. Numerical calculations made it possible to show that the temperature-time conditions of heating and cooling of the titanium alloy VT-1 affect the nature of structural transformations.
