In this paper, the keyhole of YAG laser welding 5A90 Al-Li alloy was observed and measured through the high speed camera. The characteristics of the keyhole and the effects of welding parameters were studied. The characteristics of the absorption of laser energy and the susceptivity for heat input in welding 5A90 were given. The results show that in this welding condition, the keyhole of laser welding 5A90 is nearly a taper and the highest temperature area is in the bottom. There are clear effects of heat input on the characteristics, especially the surface radius of keyhole and plasma/vapor in keyhole. Another phenomena is observed that sometime plasma/vapor could disappear in 0.3ms welding time, and this feature will be more remarkable as decrease of heat input. It shows that the absorption of energy is unsteady. It is known that when this instability reaches a certain value, an unsteady weld will be formed.

The paper presents a detailed analysis of the influence of heat input during laser bead-on-plate welding of 5.0 mm thick plates of S700MC steel by modern Disk laser on the mechanism of steel penetration, shape and depth of penetration, and also on tendency to weld porosity formation. Based on the investigations performed in a wide range of laser welding parameters the relationship between laser power and welding speed, thus heat input, required for full penetration was determined. Additionally the relationship between the laser welding parameters and weld quality was determined.

Hydraulic support is an important part of fully mechanized equipments. The constructional steels of hydraulic support with international advanced level mainly adopt the high-strength welding structural steel with its tensile strength of more than 700~1000MPa.This paper analyzes the chemical compositions features of S890 high-strength low alloy steel for 900MPa grade.The Influence of welding parameters,peak temperature and on the microstructures and mechanical properties of welding HAZ of S890 high-strength low alloy steel were investigated by thermo-simulated tests, The influence of welding heat input on the mechanical behaviors of the welded joint was also investigated. The results show that the microstructures of S890 steel change from tempered martensite to bainite and a little ferrite , pearlitic when welding heat input changes from low to high, and accompany the austenite grains coarsening ,so the impact toughness and hardness of welding HAZ at lower peak temperatures and shorter are higher than that at higher peak temperature and long . Welding HAZ produced by the second weld bead will overlap partially with the HAZ produced by the first weld bead. In this area, primitive microstructure tempers again or partial re-phase transformations and re-cools,but the area involved in the overlap is limited,so the influence on the properties of S890 steel is not obvious. In covered arc welding,the influence on the welded join strength of S890 steel is not distinct when heat input change in a certain scope, but the plasticity of the welded join falls off steeply as heat input increases. Keywords: S890 steel; high-strength low alloy steel; weld performance; hydraulic supports

In developing a new method for weld based freeform fabrication, parameter affecting the geometry of single-pass need to be determined as it has great influence on dimensional accuracy and mechanical property of metallic part. In this paper, profile geometry and microstructure of single pass weld bead developed using Gas Metal Arc Welding Cold Metal Transfer (GMAW-CMT) was investigated. Observation on cross sectional weld bead indicates GMAW-CMT has capability to produce free spatter and crack defect weld bead. Profile geometry measurement shows weld bead develop at higher heat input has width size larger than the weld bead develop at lower heat input. Microstructure examination in the substrate reveals formation of columnar dendritic, cellular and planar structure while at buildup layer exhibit equiaxed dendritic structure
