Weld pool shape observation in high power laser beam welding

Weld Pool Control in Nd : YAG Laser

Influence of laser welding process parameters on weld pool geometry and duty cycle

In pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding process, the material melts and solidifies consecutively by a peak high power laser beam. The solidification time in this process is very less as compared to that of conventional welding process. The mode of welding process is governed by the process parameters like laser energy, pulse duration, pulse frequency, power and welding speed. This paper aimed at to exam...

Weld speed effects on quality of Ti/Al dissimilar metal joints using laser beam welding

Laser beam welding produces good quality welds with minimum shrinkage for sheet metal joints. The quality of welded joint depends upon surface morphology, hardness, mixing of liquid phases and metallurgical non-homogeneity induced by gradients of temperatures and cooling rate at the weld interface. In the present investigation, Titanium Grade5 (Ti) and AA2024 (Al) alloy dissimilar sheet metals ...
