    During laser keyhole welding of thin plates, the melt pool is relatively wide compared to the plate thickness. Under certain conditions, an elongated keyhole can be created and a permanent hole is sometimes left in the weld seam. The generation of such holes is determined by surface tension effects in the melt which can generate a self-sustaining geometry at the rear of the melt pool. The geometry of the shape is known as a catenoid and has clear geometrical limits.

    The absorptivity of a laser beam interacting at grazing incidence with the processing front during laser welding, cutting, or drilling depends on the metal to be processed and on the laser wavelength. The absorptivity on a smooth processing front is homogeneously governed by the angle-dependent operating range of the corresponding Fresnel-curve. In contrast, a wavy processing front strongly modulates the absorptivity across the surface. The calculated absorptivity modulation is presented for five different metals and four laser wavelengths. A ...

    Aluminum, mild steel, and stainless steel have very dissimilar thermal properties. This study focuses on the effect of power density on the laser welding conduction mode limit in these three materials. The objective is to evaluate how these different materials will behave in conduction mode and in keyhole mode and also to understand how the thermal properties of the materials will influence the transition between the different welding modes. A comparison between the penetration depth and the melted area for the different materials under ...
