Duplex stainless steels are used in shipbuilding industry to build chemical and oil tanker vessels. The use of these steels is justified to ensure good corrosion behaviour during lifetime. The main limitation of traditional welding processes when welding duplex stainless steel is that the level of distortion reached is very h...$28.00

Laser hybrid welding stands for a process where laser beam and arc are acting in one common process zone. For five years now, this method has been successfully employed for V-type welds and fillet welds by the Meyerwerft -Shipyard. A new research project deals with the problems of vertical down welds a...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
Hybrid Nd:YAG/MAG welding of ultra high strength steel is studied for 1,5 mm thick sheets in I-, T- and overlap joint type configuration. Untreated and zinc-coated steels were compared, causing distinct differences in terms of process stability and welding result. For zinc coating it can be distinguished between domains of trapped zinc layers like in overlap and T-joints and free surface zinc coatings. Wh...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
I have belonged to Prof. Matsunawas laboratory in JWRI since 1981 until his retirement from Osaka University. Prof. A. Matsunawa and I approached our experiments and researches from physical and metallurgical viewpoints in our expert fields to understand the penetration and phenomena in laser welding. The presentation will introduce our fruitful results of plume and keyhole behavior, melt flows and bubbles and pores formation in the molten pool during laser and hybrid welding. He was mos...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
I started my research at Welding Research Institute (WRI) of Osaka University, Japan in 1977 where I was working with Prof. Yoshiaki Arata (then the director of WRI) until 1978. Just that year Prof. Akira Matsunawa from Welding Department of the same university has joined the WRI. Thus I got aquainted with Akira from that time. Later we had few chances to meet and to get more familiar with each other. We were working on different projects. He had been deeply involved in studying welding process with CO2 laser and especially in under...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
Among his various contributions in the domain of laser processing of materials, the laser community agrees to recognize that Prof. A Matsunawa has been a leading contributor to the understanding of the laser welding process since more than 25 years. It is interesting to note that his contribution to this field was realized in conjunction with the constant development of the ICALEO Conference during the same period, where he made his main presentations of scientific results during a continuous and regular participatio...$28.00
