of the temperature field in laser welding using stainless steel sheets were simulated by ANSYS. The thermal properties which have been used for thermal simulation are assumed to be varying with temperature‚ curves of which are shown in the project. Traveling heat source model of ANSYS was used for simulation purpose. Thermal simulation shows the temperature distribution at different position of the sheets at different time instants. The temperature distribution mainly depends upon the properties
