Nd:YAG laser welding in Titanium-6242

Laser beam welding of titanium additive manufactured parts

In this paper the joinability of titanium Additive Manufactured (AM) parts is explored. Keyhole welding, using a pulsed laser beam, of conventionally produced parts is compared to AM parts. Metal AM parts are notorious for having remaining porosities and other non-isotropic properties due to the layered manufacturing process. This study shows that due to these deficiencies more energy per unit ...

Laser Welding of Titanium and Dental Precious Alloys

The performance of laser welding of Ti and two dental precious alloys (Ag-Pd-Au, Au-Pt-Ag) was investigated by mechanical testing and microscopic observation, using butt joint as design. The laser irradiation was done using a commercial Nd:YAG dental laser-welding device in a single pulse mode with output currents 150, 200, 250, 300A, spot diameters 0.6, 0.9, 1.2mm, and pulse duration 10ms. The...

Metallurgical effects on titanium by laser welding on dental stone.

It is not known for certain that dental stone components influence titanium welding. In this study, we investigated metallurgical problems caused by laser welding on dental stones using wrought commercial pure (CP) titanium. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser irradiated a number of specimens' surfaces which were fixed on either a dental hard stone or a titanium plate. The metallurgical properties of the wel...

Titanium Welding Technology

In order to establish titanium welding technology TIG arc weldability and MIG arc weldability were surveyed. For TIG arc weldability influence of arc length and thickness to proper region of welding condition became obvious. For MIG arc weldability a new method to defend wandering phenomenon was developed.
