Düring the past decades, weldability studies have predominantly been concentrated on the material and the welding process. In order to achieve a closer insight into the structural effects, component weldability tests have been performed by online monitoring of the reaction forces and moments. As a particular item, the effects of different strengths of the base and filier material on the reaction force and stress build up transverse to the welding direction have been studied at a specific structural restraint. As a most relevant result for practical welding it is demonstrated that the final reaction force and also the reaction stress level in the multilayer butt welds decreases with overmatch of the weld metal.
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.
