Laser lap welding of zinc coated sheets needs still investigations in order to be properly inserted in production line. We have investigated several methods and already proposed a combined solution of cutting a slot and welding it over by a combined tandem of laser beams. We have further investigated the solution with theoretical and experimental work. We present our latest findings.
