Description
Galana Abay Kebede and colleagues pair experiments with simulation to guide flame line heating of thin steel sheets in a 2026 study. Heating along a path bends sheet metal into curves cheaply, yet judging where and how much to heat remains craft knowledge. A three-dimensional model computed surface temperatures for varied heat inputs, while bench trials on small square sheets used an infrared thermometer to control surface temperature along straight, rectangular, and parallel paths.
Simulated and measured temperatures agreed closely, with errors under seven percent across the tested paths. The match held for different heat flux levels from the gas torch. The authors present the validated model as a scientific basis for planning heating paths and doses when shaping thin steel sheets.
