Laser Welding under Vacuum: A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Laser welding has been widely used in various industry fields. In order to further alter and broaden its applicability, a novel technology of laser welding under vacuum is introduced. The combination of high power laser and low ambient pressure provides an excellent welding performance and quality. In this paper, an overview on laser welding under vacuum is presented. It begins with a short introduction about the research status of laser welding under vacuum. Next, the equipment of laser welding under vacuum is introduced. Then, the fundamental phenomena of laser welding under vacuum, including penetration depth, weld geometry, plasma plume, molten pool and keyhole behaviors, are summarized in detail. Finally, the applications and prospects of laser welding under vacuum are proposed.

متن کاملFirst steps towards an intelligent laser welding architecture using deep neural networks and reinforcement learning
To address control difficulties in laser welding, we propose the idea of a self-learning and self-improving laser welding system that combines three modern machine learning techniques. We first show the ability of a deep neural network to extract meaningful, low-dimensional features from high-dimensional laser-welding camera data. These features are then used by a temporal-difference learning a...

متن کاملInfluence of shielding gas composition on weld structure in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding
This work studied the effect of additions of carbon dioxide to argon shielding gas on the weld shape and microstructure of ST14 steel in pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding. By additions of carbon dioxide up to 15%,the weld area and depth/width ratio decreases while rising of carbon dioxide up to 25% causes increasing of weld area and depth/width ratio. It is observed that the weld metal microstructur...
