WHAT IS LASER LASER- Light Amplification By Stimulated
Emission Of Radiation, is a mechanism for emitting electromagnetic radiation via the process of stimulated emission
Coherence, monochromaticity and high energy radiation are the main characterstics of laser light.
LASER CLASSIFICATION1. RUBY LASER(CHROMIUM DOPED)2. Nd : YAG and Nd : GLASS LASER3. CO2 LASER 4. X RAY LASER 5. FIBER HOSTED LASER –Erbium and
yttrium ions in double clad form6. Free electron laser
LASER WELDING Laser beam welding is a fusion joining process
that produces coalescence of materials with
the heat obtained from the application of a concentrated coherent light beam impinging upon the surface to be joined
LASER WELDING
LASER WELDINGContinuous wave Co2 laser welding have
limitations in accuracy and high heat input Pulsed Nd : YAG have limitations in maximum
welding speedFuture demand a higher precision control
lower heat input and lower electrical energy consumption.
Continuous fiber laser welding offer these features
FIBER LASER WELDINGIn fiber laser welding ,the laser is generated in
a active fiber medium A silica “active” fiber doped with erbium,
ytterbium is exited by a diode laser sourceFiber brag grating reflect a broad range of
wavelength of light and fiber generate the laser emission
Coil of ytterbium doped multi clad fiber is usedFiber laser available in both type of energy
delivery : pulsed and continuous wave
FIBER LASER WELDING
Fiber laser system
BEAM QUALITY Beam quality of a laser is specified by BEAM
PARAMETER PRODUCT (BPP).It is define as the product of radius of the
beam waist and half the total divergence angle
Low value of BPP imply high beam quality Generally Co2 laser have good beam qulaityFiber laser have achived better beam quality
than solid laser
ADVANTAGE OF FIBER LASER WELDINGNON CONTACT PROCESS SO DISTOTION IS LESSDIMENSION OF THE LASER IS LESSMAINTENCE IS REDUCEDHEAT INPUT IN FLOW IS LESSHEAT EFFECTED ZONE IS LESSWELD GEOMETRY SHAPE IS IMPROVED MINIMUM HEAT REQUIRE FOR FULL DEPTH
PENETRATIONHIGH ASPECT RATION CAN BE ATTAINABLEJOIN THE SMALL AREA CAN WE WELD
DISADVANTAGE OF FIBER LASER WELDINGJOINT MUST BE ACCURATELY POSITIONED
UNDER THE BEAM LASER HAVE THE LOW ENERGY

LITREATURE REVIEW YEAR AUTHOR AREA OF
STUDY CONCLUSION
2007 Quintino et al. Welding with high power lasers- a preliminary study
Weld bead geometry represent a finger print format, identify the transient heat input , melting efficiency compare with conventional laser , penetration of laser w.r.t laser speed and heat input
2013 Serizawa et al. Weldability of dissimilar joint between F82H and SUS316L under fiber laser welding
Microstructure of the weld before and after post weld heat treatment , microstructure of base metal of F824, heat affected zone in F824,weld metal and base metal of SUS316L,width of weld zone depend upon speed , position of laser beam should be precisely controlled
LITREATURE REVIEW (cont.) 2015 Ren et al. A comparative study
on fiber laser and co2 laser welding of inconel 617
Comparative study on weld bead geometry and microstructure of fusion zone investigate , CLW weld bead geometry Y shape formed and FLW weld bead geometry I shape, melting efficiency of FLW is large than CLW , highest heat input in CLW is 360 j/mm and in FLW is 210.5 j/mm.
2015 Casalino et al. Ytterbium fiber laser welding of Ti6AL4V alloy
Linear energy have a high influence on the weld bead shape high linear energy promote X shape and less promote Y shape , analysis of microstructure property ,formation of martensite in in FZ,UTS increases 80% and elongation reduced 4-5% Optimization of weld speed for the formation of Y shape weld bead geometry and increase the welding process efficiency (WPE)
