Hybrid laser-MIG/MAG welding at ISI
Mrňa, Libor ; Novotný, Jan ; Šebestová, Hana ; Znášik, S. ; Gross, Jan ; Harašta, Jiří
Laser welds usually suffer from underfill defects because the welding is usually made without a filler wire. During the hybrid laser-MIG/MAG welding, the laser beam forms the melt pool, and the arc simultaneously delivers melted filler wire. The synergic interaction of both heat sources allows deeper penetration while the weld face is sufficiently filled and has the prescribed geometry. This contribution reports the issues of individual systems integration and presents already-made experiments.
Beam oscillations for modification of fatique properties of laser welds
Šebestová, Hana ; Jambor, Michal ; Mrňa, Libor
The application of suitable beam oscillating parameters reduces root notches of laser welds. Beam oscillation welds reach better fatigue properties compared to conventional laser weld, even though the notches are not reduced. The welds made with linear oscillation have the highest number of cycles to fracture in the high-cycle region. However, the root notches are not eliminated in these welds because of high values of current heat input on weld peripheries. The experienced thermal cycles must be also considered. They can induce microstructural transformations and change the distribution and magnitude of residual stresses, which are the additional factors influencing the fatigue lifetime of a weld joint.
Hybrid laser-MIG welding of steels for the energy industry
Mrňa, Libor ; Šebestová, Hana ; Horník, Petr ; Novotný, Jan
Laser-MIG welding can lead to the heterogeneity in the weld metal. A weld root's chemical composition corresponds to the base metal, while the face is formed dominantly by the filler wire that can have a different chemical composition. The study reports on the hybrid technology of laser-MIG welding utilized for joining creep-resistant martensitic stainless steel used in the production of steam turbine components. The hybrid welding system capable of modifying laser spot diameter was developed and the welds with chemically homogeneous weld metal were achieved.
Welding of materials for the production of energy devices with laser and laser-MIG hybrid technology, hybrid welding
Mrňa, Libor ; Šebestová, Hana ; Novotný, Jan ; Beran, D.
Laser welding technology is known more from the automotive field, where it is used for fast and high-quality welding of thin body sheets. The production of power equipment is specific both in the materials used (mainly martensitic stainless steels) and in the significantly larger thicknesses of the welds. Research into the weldability of these materials using laser welding technology and laser-MIG hybrid technology is being conducted at the ÚPT. The article describes experiences with the general weldability of these materials with laser and hybrid laser-MIG, as well as practical applications of welding parts of steam turbines. Finally, the possibility of welding stellites using hybrid laser-MIG technology is also discussed.
Microstructure modifications of Al-Si-coated press-hardened steel 22MnB5 by laser welding
Šebestová, Hana ; Horník, Petr ; Mika, Filip ; Mikmeková, Šárka ; Ambrož, Ondřej ; Mrňa, Libor
Weld microstructure depends on the characteristics of welded materials and parameters of welding technology, especially on the heat input that determines the peak temperature and the cooling rate. When the coated sheets are welded, the effect of the chemical composition of the coating must be also considered even though its thickness is only a few tens of microns. During 22MnB5+AlSi laser welding experiments, the ferrite-stabilizing elements of coating modified the weld metal microstructure. Ferrite appeared in a quenched weld metal. The rapid cooling rate accompanying welding with a focused beam limited the homogenization of the weld metal which resulted in the formation of ferritic bands in the regions rich in Si and especially in Al. On the other hand, a high level of homogenization was reached when welding with the defocused beam. The ferritic islands uniformly distributed in the weld metal were formed at 0.4 wt% and 1.6 wt% of Si and Al, respectively. The doubled heat input reduced the Al content to 0.7 wt% insufficient for the ferrite formation at still relatively high cooling rates. Predicting the distribution of ferrite in the weld metal is challenging due to its dependence on various factors, such as cooling rate and the volume of dissolved coating, which may vary with any modifications made to the welding parameters.
Processing of glass by ultrashort pulses
Novotný, Jan ; Mrňa, Libor ; Horník, Petr ; Šebestová, Hana
Use of ultrafast laser pulses for processing of glass materials is promising method for cutting, drilling and manufacturing of free form shapes. No material damage is observed due to nearly zero heat affected zone. Cutting of opticaly coated substrates withou damage to the layers is also possible. Thanks to precision beam positioning system it is possible to manufacture free form shapes for optical (microelents) or microfluidic use. Optical element's surfaces are finished to desired quality by other technologies.
Laser welding with beam oscillation
Šebestová, Hana ; Horník, Petr ; Novotný, Jan ; Mrňa, Libor
Laser welding with beam oscillation (wobbling) usually leads to the reduction of penetration depth caused by transition from keyhole to conduction mode welding. Based on the distribution of power density in transversal direction (within the oscillation diameter), the approximate shape of weld cross-section can be predicted without the need to calculate heat conduction in the material. Deep penetration can also be achieved when a suitable combination of oscillation mode and its parameters is applied.

Mrňa, Libor ; Horník, Petr ; Novotný, Jan ; Šebestová, Hana
Laser welding with beam oscillation (wobbling) extends the possibilities of custom laser welding. Two examples of its industrial applications are shown. Further, the effect of oscillation mode and its characteristics on distribution of laser power density was simulated and compared with experimental weld cross-sections.
