Laser beam welding (LBW) is a fusion joining process that uses the energy from a laser beam to melt and subsequently crystallize a metal, resulting in a bond between parts. In this study, finite element method (FEM) is used for predicting the weld bead profile of laser welding butt, lap and T-joints. A three-dimensional finite element model is used to analyze the temperature distribution weld bead shape for different weld configurations produced by the laser welding process. In the model temperature-dependent thermo physical properties of AISI304 stainless steel, effect of latent heat of fusion and convective and radiative boundary conditions are incorporated. The heat input to the FEM model is assumed to be a 3D conical Gaussian heat source. The finite element software SYSWELD is employed to obtain the numerical results. The computed weld bead profiles for butt, lap and T-joints are compared with the experimental profiles and are found to be in agreement.

AbstractLaser welding is used in modern industry, having many advantages comparing to traditional welding technologies. Nowadays, industry sectors such as shipbuilding, automotive and aviation can’t be imagined without laser processing technologies. Possibility of increase of welded joint properties, autogenous welding and high level of process automation makes the technology of laser welding perspective part of the industry. Physical multidimensional processes complexity requires a deeper understanding of the impact of laser welding parameters on the quality of welded joints for industrial implementation. The paper presents results of microstructure investigations of laser beam welded stainless steel under various welding parameters. Welded joints was achieved by Ytterbium fiber laser type without the use of the filler material. Material for test was 2205 ferritic-austenitic duplex stainless steel (DSS) plates with thickness of 8 mm in delivery condition. The objectives of this research was to investigate influence of laser welding parameters on weld geometry of butt-welded joints. Investigations of bead shape revealed correlation between laser beam focus position and weld penetration depth.
