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. The results have lead to a phenomenological understanding of some of the quality problems which arise at excess welding speeds - such as undercut and humping.
