In order to simulate accurately the formation process of the keyhole in laser deep penetration welding. Multiple reflection and Fresnel absorption are implemented simultaneously with the ray tracing technique in the keyhole. With all the governing equations including continuity, momentum and energy equation, the VOF method is adopted to trace the free surface of the molten pool. Simulation results are compared with the experimental ones to verify its validity.

A computational analysis is achieved during laser deep penetration welding. Multiple reflection and absorption are implemented simultaneously with the ray tracing technique in the keyhole. With all the governing equations including continuity, momentum and energy equation, the VOF method is adopted to trace the free surface of the molten pool. Temperature field is achieved by numerical simulation. The laser keyhole welding experiments on 304 stainless steel sheet showed that the computational results agree well with experimental results.

In order to accurately simulate the process of laser deep penetration welding, a mathematical model to describe laser deep penetration welding was developed by using the heat source derived from the ray-tracing model, and taking account into the effect of keyhole on welding pool. With all the governing equations including continuity, momentum and energy equation, the VOF method is adopted to trace the free surface of the molten pool. Numerical simulation was conducted by FLUENT 6.3 software package. The simulation results show that the formation of keyhole in the weld is caused by recoil pressure.

Die optische Kohärenztomographie (OCT) erlaubt die zerstörungsfreie In-situ-Überwachung der Einschweißtiefe beim Laserstrahlschweißen. Für dieses Verfahren wird hier der Einfluss von verringerten Umgebungsdrücken auf die Messqualität untersucht. Es wird gezeigt, dass sich bei niedrigerem Umgebungsdruck deutlich größere Signalanteile aus dem Bereich des Bodens der Dampfkapillare zurückerhalten lassen. Auf diese Weise steigen die effektive Messfrequenz und die Erkennbarkeit von Änderungen der Einschweißtiefe.   Optical coherence tomography (OCT) enables non-destructive in-situ monitoring of the weld penetration depth during laser beam welding. For this technology, the influence of reduced ambient pressures on the measurement quality is investigated. It is shown that significantly larger signal components are obtained from the bottom of the vapor capillary at lower ambient pressure increasing the applicable measurement frequency and the detectability of changes in the weld penetration depth.
