High-fidelity modeling of interface crossing in the diffusion welding process at the polycrystalline scale

Materials Science 2025-07-29 v1

Abstract

Controlling the microstructure of a diffusion welded interface is a critical point to ensure optimum mechanical properties and the homogeneity of the joint. Beyond the intimate contact formation between bonded parts studied in the literature, this article focuses on the grain boundary crossing of the interface during this process and its measurement. Following this perspective, a Level-Set method has been used for full-field microstructure simulations in 2D with various interface parameters. Two crossing measurement models have been formulated, tested and discussed over the simulations.
