Spatters in laser penetration welding of aluminum alloys will pollute the focusing system, which would affect the processing stability and welding quality. Furthermore, the spatter characteristics can reflect the laser welding process in some degree. In this paper, the spatter characteristics in fiber and CO2 laser welding of 6061-T6 aluminum alloy are investigated. Dynamic behavior of spatters is reco...$28.00

During the last 5 years the 1µm lasers have gained significant in beam quality. But there are several industrial laser applications that are only justifiable if the system offers the flexibility of cutting with 100µm fiber and just by a software switch to move into welding, where a much larger spot size is required. Up to now such applications have been don...$28.00

This paper describes a laser metal deposition system that is based on robotized laser welding and wire filler material. The system has been found suitable for the manufacture of simple but large shapes with high metallurgical requirements such as bosses or flanges found on aero engine components. Several benefits have been identified with the usage of wire filler compared to powderized feedstock, such as better process efficiency, higher deposition rate...$28.00

A high speed video survey of melt flow within fibre laser welding keyholes has revealed a number of interesting observations about the mechanics of weld formation. Using Streak Images and 2D-FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) techniques to interpret the video results, quantitative values of fluid flow velocities down the keyhole wall have been established.
