[en] The heat generated during welding induces a large temperature gradient in and around the welded area. In the arc welding process, three main different zones have been recorded in the welded joint: the fusion zone, the heat-affected zone and the base metal. The objective of this article is to present the thermal cycle simulation technique and its usefulness for the study of the heat-affected zone. Rapid heating and cooling treatment was applied in specific simulation equipment. The most published research on using thermal cycle simulation to understand the heat-affected zone is presented. A case study is also presented. An X70 steel was chosen to undergo thermal treatment
cycles using the simulation equipment. It has been shown the importance of this technique for the study of HAZ. It was found that the microstructure of HAZ depends on the heating temperature.
