A 3D transient thermo-metallurgical finite element simulation of a narrow gap multi-layer gas metal arc welding of the first ten layers of a 60E1 profile and R350HT steel rail was implemented in SYSWELD® to study the evolution of the temperature field, phase fractions, and the hardness in the heat-affected zone. For validation, T (t) curves and metallography samples from corresponding instrumented...
