There are two laser welding mechanisms, keyhole mode and conduction mode. Keyhole welding is widely used because it produces welds with high aspect ratios and narrow heat affected zones. However keyhole welding can be unstable, as the keyhole oscillates and closes intermittently. This intermittent closure causes porosity due to gas entrapment. Conduction welding, on the other hand, is more stab...

Intelligent welding robots obtain a good quality of the welding results. Research on automatic and intelligent control of Arc welding is an important means for ensuring weld quality, raising productivity, and improving labor conditions. Despite its widespread use in the various manufacturing industries, the full automation of the robotic welding has not yet been achieved partly because mathemat...

Quality of welded joint at MAG welding process depends of numbers of influences, like type and thickness of base metal, groove type, welding position etc., but the proper selection of welding parameters is also very important. Due to that, the analysis of weld bead geometry at MAG welding process with regard to weld current, voltage and weld speed (heat input) and the type and shielding gas flo...

In this work, the principle of (Friction Stir Welding ,FSW) process used to produce spot welded lap joint aluminum sheets with (2.5 mm) thickness sheet different welding parameters. Different rotational speed have been selected show effect change, tool was (710, 900, 1400 RPM) same time (15 sec.). Another experiment conducted and (30 sec) time. Mechanical microstructural properties joints studi...

In the present work CO2 continuous laser welding process was successfully applied and optimized for joining a dissimilar AISI 316 stainless steel and AISI 1009 low carbon steel plates. Laser power, welding speed, and defocusing distance combinations were carefully selected with the objective of producing welded joint with complete penetration, minimum fusion zone size and acceptable welding pro...
