Laser welding has gained more and more industry acceptance due to narrow heat affected
zone, low distortion levels, possibility of remote processing, and outstanding welding speeds
when compared to traditional electric arc processes. Automotive industry requires a
significant amount of overlapped joint welding, which usually is applied to the chassis
assembling. Thus, as a mean to support laser users to optimize the welding process, this
paper presents an approach through an experimental methodology followed by a …
