Influence of superimposed intensity distributions on weld seam quality and spatter behavior during laser beam welding of copper with green laser radiation

Florian Kaufmann et al.

Summary: With the increasing demand for copper connections in the field of renewable energies, various approaches were pursued to reduce the challenging spatter and melt ejection susceptibility in laser beam welding of copper materials. One approach is the use of adjustable intensity profiles of multi-mode beam sources, which can effectively reduce spatter behavior by widening the melt pool near the top surface of the sample.

Geometry and stability of the capillary during deep-penetration laser welding of AlMgSi at high feed rates

Florian Fetzer et al.

Summary: The study found that the stability of the capillary during laser welding increases with higher feed rates, leading to the avoidance of depth fluctuations and processing pores. This stability is attributed to changes in the geometry of the capillary, affecting the absorption of laser power.

Influence of plume attenuation under high power laser welding of copper using visible wavelengths

Florian Kaufmann et al.

Summary: The challenge of laser welding copper lies in the low absorptivity of infrared wavelengths and rapid jump of absorptivity at transition from solid to liquid state. Visible laser beam sources have been developed to increase absorption of electromagnetic radiation for more energy efficient welding process.

In situ X-ray tomography investigations on laser welding of copper with 515 and 1030 nm laser beam sources

Marc Hummel et al.

Summary: The paramount challenge in laser micro welding is to design welding processes that are highly energy efficient and precise in controlling weld depth and surface roughness. Copper's high thermal conductivity and low energy absorption under infrared radiation present difficulties in the process, leading to a higher interest in visible wavelength lasers as an alternative to near infrared lasers. Investigation into in situ X-ray tomography experiments during laser beam welding of copper with 515 nm and 1030 nm laser sources revealed significant differences in the depth of the keyhole and sensitivity to variations in feed rate and laser power between the two wavelengths.
