Laser welding gives better penetration than conventional welding methods and can significantly increase the welding speed. Use of laser hybrid welding can further enhance the welding speed by improving gap bridgeability and allowing the addition of filler metal to facilitate welding of special grades. Fiber laser gas-metal arc (GMA) hybrid welding was performed on 8 mm austenitic 316L (EN 1.4404/ 1.4432, UNS S316L) and duplex 2205 (EN 1.4462, UNS S31805) stainless steel with the recommended filler wires. Both le...$28.00

Although the austenitic stainless steel grades are commonly considered to be quite an easy weldable, there are certain applications which make exception to above statement. As an example, which has also attributed to this study, it could be mentioned a welded assembly which forms a very rigid structure. In above mentioned struc...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2008
The use of duplex stainless steel increases steadily worldwide and the fluctuations in nickel price the recent years have contributed to further growth. The lean duplex grade Outokumpu LDX 2101 (EN 1.4162, UNS S32101) has low nickel content and is alloyed with nitrogen and manganese to give a balanced microstructure. It means that good austenite formation is obtained even when laser welding autogenously (without filler). This is in contrast to most other duplex grades, for which laser welding is normally ...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2008
Porosity formation of laser beam welds in aluminum alloys is problematic for the properties of the welded pieces. For more than a decade extensive research had been concentrated to determine the causes for porosity formation and the design of according welding techniques to suppress their arise. In this paper a novel empirical insight into porosity formation in aluminum alloys is presented. The aluminum alloy considered is EN AW-60...$28.00

Laser surface alloying of aluminium AA 1200 was performed with a 4.4 kW Rofin Sinar Nd:YAG laser to improve its hardness and wear resistance. Alloying was carried out by depositing Ni and Ti based powders with different weight ratios on the aluminium substrate at different laser scanning speeds. The intermetallics formed were examined using op...$28.00

This work considers the variation in flux density used during deposition and its role in controlling the overall cross sectional profile of the final track. Circular beams of various intensity profiles typically generate little variation in track cross section. When a moving laser beam interacts with a surface th...$28.00
