Laser Plasma Hybrid Welding of Austenitic Stainless Steels - Phenomena of Process Instability
(2007)
Laser plasma hybrid welding has been proved to be a very stable hybrid welding process and
welds of high quality can be produced, especially if high surface quality and low spattering is
demanded such as in welding fabrication of high alloyed austenitic stainless steels.
In particular cases, even though welds display high outer quality, X-ray examinations
revealed weld defects which may range from low porosity to blowhole-like cavities. The
phenomena and the main influencing parameters such as arc current, welding speed and
focal point position are discussed. Parameter fields will be suggested for welding plates of
different austenitic stainless steel grades with thicknesses ranging from 3 to 8 mm. The
results are based on welding experiments carried out using a 4.4 kW diode pumped Nd:YAGlaser.
Thus, also the influence of the feeding fibre diameter has been investigated and it was found
that the resulting beam shape has a major effect on the welding performance.

The relation between microstructure and corrosion behavior of GTA welded AZ31B magnesium sheet
(2007)
Welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy was carried out using gas-tungsten arc (GTA) welding. The microstructure and the corrosion behavior of welded magnesium AZ31B alloy were investigated. ac and dc polarization tests were carried out on the welded Mg sheet. The microstructure was examined using optical and electron microscopy (TEM and SEM), X-ray analysis and EDS. Scanning Kelvin probe force microscopy (SKPFM) was used in order to measure the Volta potential of different phases relative to the matrix. The results showed that the GTA process effected both the microstructure and the corrosion behavior. These results can be explained by the effects of the process on microstructure of AZ31B Mg alloy sheet such as grain size and precipitates caused by the change in precipitation and recrystallization behavior.
