Laser welding of metals involves with formation of a melt‐pool and subsequent rapid
solidification, resulting in alteration of properties and the microstructure of the welded metal …

The present paper is intended to encompass the English language heat transfer papers
published in 2003, including some translations of foreign language papers. This survey …

Laser welding of aluminum alloys can be associated with solidification cracking. The
severity of cracking in these alloys depends on various factors, such as the initial …

Conventional regression analysis was carried out on some experimental data of a tungsten
inert gas (TIG) welding process (obtained from published literature), to find its input–output …

Laser welding is a high power density welding technology, which has the capability of
focusing the beam power to a very small spot diameter. Its characteristics such as high …

There are two types of lasers, continuous wave and pulsed wave lasers. The welding
parameters normally associated with continuous wave lasers are laser power, beam …

This study proposes a tailored laser heat source model for the finite element analysis of the
laser cladding process. The beam characteristics, including wavelength, beam radius, TEM …

Laser beam welding has recently found its application in the fabrication of aircraft structures
where fuselage panels, made of thin sheets of AA 6056-T4 (an aluminium alloy), are welded …

An analytical solution is computed for the thermal field induced in a semi-infinite body by a
moving heat source whose shape was proposed by Goldak et al. for the simulation of …

Numerically computed results of weld pool dimensions in conduction mode laser welding
are sensitive to the estimated value of the actual beam energy absorbed by the substrate. In …
