Abstract In this paper we propose a reduced two-dimensional finite-volume model for the fast calculation of the melt flow. This model was used to determine the influence of the welding speed, viscosity in the melt and vapour flow inside of the keyhole on the fluid flow field, the temperature distribution, and the resulting weld-pool geometry for laser beam welding of aluminium. The reduced computational time resulting from this approach allows the fast qualitative investigation of different aspects of the melt flow over a wide range of parameters. It was found that the effect of viscosity within the melt is more pronounced for lower welding speeds whereas the effect of friction at the keyhole walls is more pronounced for higher welding speeds. The weld-pool geometry mainly depends on the welding speed.

Great interest of the laser beam welding in industry is a new theoretical task, making planning the welding procedure specification and the quality control of welded joints easier. Estimating and calculating the dimensions of a weld pool and temperature distribution near weld mainly concern heat source modelling. In the presented work calculations of welding pool shape and thermal field for cylindrical-powered-normally model of heat source have been presented. Parameters of the model of heat source and weld pool geometry were determined using analytical-numerical calculations. The results of numerical calculations were compared with the experimental data for butt joint made by CO2 laser beam. Comparable results have been observed. Practical recommendations for assumptions of model parameters - the flux density energy distribution of the heat source in case of calculations of the thermal field in the vicinity of a weld pool are given.

Abstract The present work deals with the recently confirmed widening of the weld pool interface, known as a bulging effect, and its relevance in high power laser beam welding. A combined experimental and numerical approach is utilized to study the influence of the bulge on the hot cracking formation and the transport of alloying elements in the molten pool. A technique using a quartz glass, a direct-diode laser illumination, a high-speed camera, and an infrared camera is applied to visualize the weld pool geometry in the longitudinal section. The study examines the relevance of the bulging effect on both, partial and complete penetration, as well as for different sheet thicknesses ranging from 8 mm to 25 mm. The numerical analysis shows that the formation of a bulge region is highly dependent on the penetration depth and occurs more frequently during partial penetration above 6 mm and complete penetration above 8 mm penetration depth, respectively. The location of the bulge correlates strongly with the cracking location. The obtained experimental and numerical results reveal that the bulging effect increases the hot cracking susceptibility and limits the transfer of alloying elements from the top of the weld pool to the weld root.
