In the present study, a low average power pulsed Nd:YAG laser is used for bead-on-plate welding of low carbon steel plate. The effect of laser process parameters on the weld quality and weld bead profile, welding penetration (P), welding surface width (W) and welding pool area (A), is studied. Focal point position, welding speed, pulse duration, and energy are selected as the process variables. The formation of a keyhole and weld bead profile is found to be highly dependent on laser pulse parameters. Results show that the maximum penetration accurse when the focal point is above the surface, in pulse duration of 6 ms, welding speed of 2 mm/s and pulse energy of 16.67 J.

This paper reports an experimental study of laser welding on duplex stainless steel UNS S32205 employed in the oil and natural gas industries. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser was used to weld the specimens. Bead on plate condition was used. Scanning Electron and Optical microscopy was applied to measure and analyze the cross-sectional of the weld bead. From the experimental results, it was found that the shape and size of the welded spot depend not only on the laser energy, but also on the pulse duration and the focus position. Metallographic observations showed that the microstructure of the weld metal was characterized by large ferrite grains with intra and inter-granular austenite. Large voids delimited by the molten zone boundary were observed in weld beads with low pulse duration. The heat affected zone resulting from the welding is pretty much absent and no cracks were detected.

This paper focuses on the interfacial characteristics of dissimilar Ti6Al4V/AA6060 lap joint produced by pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam welding. The process-sensitivity analysis of welding-induced interface joining quality was performed by using the orthogonal design method. Microstructural tests such as scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy were used to observe the interfacial characteristics. The mechanism of interfacial crack initiation, which is an important indicator of joint property and performance, was assessed and analyzed. The preferred propagation paths of welding cracks along the interfaces of different intermetallic layers with high dislocation density were analyzed and discussed in-depth. The results indicate that discontinuous potential phases in the micro-crack tip would mitigate the mechanical resistance or performance of the welded joint, while the continuous intermetallic layer can lead to a sound jointing performance under pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding process.
