This study examines the impact of plate thickness on three-dimensional temperature distribution during welding, employing the finite difference method for computational modeling. The analysis highlights how variations in thickness affect temperature profiles within welded structures. Key focus areas include the development of heat transfer equations, boundary condition handling, and the integration of welding parameters and material properties. Model validation against experimental data confirms its accuracy and adaptability to diverse welding scenarios. The findings enhance understanding of thermal dynamics, contributing to improved weld quality, reduced defects, and optimized welding efficiency.Refference:
