Abstract:
Laser welding technique, using a continuous wave (CW) fibre laser with 400 W of maximum power, was applied in lap joint configuration to weld 1 mm thick stainless steel (SS 316L) to 1 mm thick aluminium (A 1050) with the stainless steel on the top. The laser was used at maximum power for ensuring full penetration depth and further on, laser process parameters, like laser velocity and focusing position, were optimized in order to produce pore free and aesthetic welds. The dissimilar joints were studied by optical metallography and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and mechanically evaluated by pull-out tests. Based on the analyses results, the potential of this joining method will be discussed.
