Abstract: Based on a developed unified three dimension (3D) mathematical model including two tungsten electrodes arc and weld pool for double electrode TIG arc heat source, the temperature, velocity, current density, magnetic flux and Lorentz force of the double electrodes TIG arc and the weld pool are obtained for SUS304 stainless steel. The simulated results are in fair agreement with the experimental results available. Buoyance, Lorentz force, plasma drag force, Marangoni shear stress and turbulent effect are taken into account to formulate the weld pool behavior and the effects of the each force on the flow of the weld pool are studied respectively. The heat flux and shear stress at the weld pool surface are analyzed as well. A dimensionless number Pe is used to compare the relative importance of convective heat and conductive heat in the weld pool. It is shown that non-axisymmetric double electrode arc results in the non-axisymmetric characteristics of the current density, heat flux, plasma drag force and Marangoni shear at the weld pool, and thus produces non-axisymmetric weld pool profiles. The evolution of the weld pool has little effect on the arc behavior. The plasma drag force of the double tungsten electrode TIG arc decreases significantly compared with that of the TIG arc. The Marangoni stress determines the weld pool flow and the heat convected dominates the heat transfer in the weld pool, their combination effect determines the heat transfer in the weld pool, which is the essential reason for the formation of the different weld pool profiles.
