Investigation of Microstructure weld zone of Hastelloy X Pulsed Nd-YAG laser welds
Authors
Abstract:
In the present study, the microstructure of welded zone of Hastelloy X sheets with thickness of 1 mm via pulsed Nd-YAG laser welding were studied. This welding process was done by autogenus and conductive method. Microstructure were observed by metallurgical OM and SEM. Results shown Solidification of the weld metal is dendritic. The dendrites in the central zone of the welding are fine and equiaxed while they are larger and columnar in the fusion boundary. Epitaxial growth was observed in the interface of base metal and weld metal. Alloy elements Segregation did not occur during the solidification process and the fine cracks were not observed in the welding zone of the alloy. Micro hardness results indicated that the hardness of welded metal were more than base metal and cause to decrease grain size at welded metal more than base metal. This phenomenon was occurred due to more differences between heating and cooling rate in this welding process.

Influence 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...

the present article considers the nd:yag pulsed laser welding of 304 stainless steels with two different compositions. the effects of various laser operational parameters and cooling rates on the weld microstructures were considered. the results show that ferritic solidification is produced in the stainless steel with the creq/nieq ratio of 1.7, and austenitic solidification is produced in the ...

A 38 year-old girl with a recurrent suppurative pilonidal cyst was successfully treated causally with an Nd-YAG laser, and with no recurrence at the 3-month follow-up. A similar success is observed for another 15 consecutively treated patients, including suppurative cases. The effect could be attributable to the ability of the YAG-laser to operate at a wave-length of 1064 nm and to penetrate th...

BACKGROUND Axillary hyperhidrosis is a common but difficult-to-treat condition with major social, labor, and emotional consequences. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to present the Nd-YAG laser as a safe and effective option for the treatment of axillary hyperhidrosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS From January 2002 to April 2007, 17 patients (15 women and 2 men) with axillary hyperhidrosis were ...

Forty nine patients with rectosigmoid carcinoma considered unsuitable for surgery underwent endoscopic Nd:YAG laser treatment for paliiation of symptoms and tumour eradication, if feasible. Altogether 25 (51%) of the lesions had distal margins less than 7 cm from the anus and 36 (73%) extended above the peritoneal reflection. In seven patients with tumours less than 3 cm in diameter, symptomati...
