The analysis investigates the temperature distribution and the fundamental knowledge of the process with respect to temperature difference in the material to be welded. HyperMesh® and HyperView® solver have been used from Altair Hyperworks® to analyse the process. Different traverse and rotational speeds have been applied in the model. The results of the study create a better understanding for peak temperature distribution. In addition, the results illustrate that the peak temperature during welding increases as the rotational speeds rises and the effect of the transverse speed on the temperature is found to be insignificant. Finally, comparisons with some published papers has been done in order to compare the results of the different finite element packages and summarize the advantages and disadvantages of each software. © 2020, Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. date: 2020 publisher: Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85075714346&doi=10.1007%2f978-981-13-8297-0_64&partnerID=40&md5=eb9c70622cbed6a146f2a591cdce4e9e id_number: 10.1007/978-981-13-8297-0₆₄ full_text_status: none publication: Lecture Notes in Mechanical Engineering pagerange: 619-628 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9789811382963 issn: 21954356 citation: Meyghani, B. and Awang, M.
