Abstract
Modelling Flash-Butt welding process using mathematical tools is proposed. It is a complex thermo-electro-mechanical and phase transformation problem. Consecutive stages (sub-processes) are defined, where mathematical variables can be distinguished. Some hypothesis are defined; however, more research is needed to complement those simplifications. The relationship between the whole process, the technical considerations and the proposed mathematical variables is studied. Heat diffusion equation is proposed as a governing equation for model de temperature profile evolution on each phases; phase transformation it is not contemplated yet.
