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.
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.
