How heat transfer takes place near heat affected zone ?

Heat transfer in a welded joint is a complex phenomenon involving three dimensional movement of a heat source. Heat from the weld zone is transferred more to the other parts of the base metal by means of conduction. Similarly heat is also lost to surroundings by convection from the surface, with radiation component being relatively small except near the weld pool. Thus the analytical treatment of the weld zone is extremely difficult.
