摘要

Predicting thermal cycles in multi-wire submerged arc welding is challenging due to complex arc interactions and flux coverage. Finite element models capture heat transfer and fluid flow, but their computational cost limits process optimization. We present a semi-analytical thermal model for a two-wire tandem SAW that superposes ellipsoidal sources within a Green’s function framework and includes temperature-dependent properties, latent heat via effective specific heat, and convective–radiative cooling. The solver predicts weld-pool geometry and full thermal histories; a CUDA implementation on an NVIDIA T4 runs full-plate cases in about five minutes. Validation against ASTM A36 bead-on-groove trials shows errors within \(12\%\) 12 % and accurate peak-temperature and \(t_{8/5}\) t 8 / 5 cooling-time estimates, offering a fast alternative to full FEM for the tested SAW–T conditions.
