Weld pool transport phenomena during the transition from conduction-mode laser spot welding to keyhole laser spot welding of titanium were studied by numerical simulation. A range of laser powers were simulated and temperature dependent evaporation recoil pressure and cooling were applied as boundary conditions on the weld pool surface. Simulation results predicted a complex time-varying flow pattern during weld pool development. The surface-normal flow at the weld pool centre oscillated between upwards and downwards during the simulation time due to interaction of competing effects of evaporation recoil and surface tension pressures and laser heating and evaporation cooling. The results show that the laser weld pool flow dynamics play a key role during the transition from conduction-mode laser welding to keyhole welding.
