Abstract

Welding fixtures defined as a tool used to facilitate the work of welding and saving time to produce a product. The use of welding fixture is also one of a safety measure prevent the welder from injury while handling welding process. This project was undertaken to study the design parameters of the new welding fixtures used for joining the gate parts such as the gate used at home. In addition, three concept ideas were discussed. Furthermore, the best concept has been used in this analysis based on 3 candidate materials. The most suitable material for welding fixtures was obtained through simulation. 3D model welding fixture was created by using Solid work 2013 software. Transient thermal analysis and static structural analysis were performed on welding fixture by using ANSYS 14.0 software. Result of static structural analysis was interpreted in five aspects: Equivalent stress, total deformation, factors of safety (F.O.S), fatigue life and fatigue damage. However, the result of a transient thermal analysis was interpreted in two aspects: temperature and total heat flux distribution. Therefore, it was proposed that stainless steel is the suitable for welding fixtures.
