Spot welding laser beam

In these approaches, several different forms of welding can be utilized such as resistance spot welding, gas tungsten spot welding, laser spot welding, and electron beam spot welding. However, resistance spot welding is the most popular and well accepted of these methods.

This paper deals with the control of weld depth penetration for cylinders in gold-nickel alloy and tantalum. After introducing the experimental set-up and the samples description, the study and the optimization of the testing are presented for single-sided measurements either in a pulse-echo configuration or when the pump and the probe laser beams are shifted (influence of a thermal phenomenon), and for different kind of laser impact (a line or a circular spot). First, the ultrasonic system is used to detect and to size a flat bottom hole in an aluminium plate. Indeed, when the width of the hole is reduced, its shape is nearly similar to the one of a slot. Then, the optimization is accomplished for... 

Since a laser beam can be focused down to a very small spot of light which can be absorbed very well at the surface of a material (be it metal, plastic, textile, etc.), the material can reach very high temperatures up to 9,032°F (5,000°C) and melt or even vaporize. In factories, laser systems are used to measure parts, inspect them for quality, and label, cut, weld, or resurface materials ranging from plastic film to sheet steel a quarter of an inch thick. 

Laser beam spot and seam welding can also be performed on same equipment. 

Lasers have been used primarily for welding polyethylene and polypropylene. Usually, laser welding is applied only to films or thin-walled components. The least powerful beams, around 50 W, with the widest weld spots are used for fear of degrading the polymer substrate. The primary goal in laser welding is to reach a melt temperature where the parts can be joined quickly before the plastic degrades. To avoid material degradation, ac-...
