Presentation transcript:

Laser Beam Welding LIGHT AMPLIFICATION by STIMULATED EMISSION of RADIATION. Coalescence of heat is produced by the Laser beam which is having high energy. Concentrated heat source. Allowing for narrow, deep welds. High welding rates. Frequently used in high volume applications.

High power density (1 Mw/cm²)) resulting in small HAZ and high heating and cooling rates. The spot size vary (0.2 mm and 13 mm), though only smaller sizes are used for welding. The penetration is proportional to power supplied & focal point. Maximum penetration when focal point is slightly below the surface Milliseconds long pulses are used to weld thin materials such as razor blades. Continuous laser systems are employed for deep welds. High power capability of gas laser make it suitable for high volume applications.

Laser Generation

Typical Work piece

Laser Hybrid Welding Combines LBW with an arc welding. It allows for greater positioning flexibility. Arc supplies molten metal to fill the joint, and due to the use of a laser, increases the welding speed . Weld quality tends to be higher as well as potential for undercutting is reduced.

Solid Laser Operate at wavelengths of order 1 µm, hence special protection to prevent Retina damage. Pulsed Laser- Ruby Laser, Neodymium Glass Continuous Laser- Neodymium Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (Nd YAG) Pulse Duration- 1/1,000,000,000 second - 2 milliseconds Efficiency= 1-10 %

Solid Laser cont…… Power output:- Ruby lasers = 10–20 W Nd:YAG laser = 0.04–6,000 W Fiber optics is used. Popular design is a single crystal rod of 20 mm diameter and 200 mm long, ground flat ends. Disk shaped crystals are growing in popularity flashlamps are giving way to diodes due to their high efficiency

Gas Laser Uses high-voltage, low-current power sources. Both continuous and pulsed mode. Wavelength of the laser beam is of order 10.6 μm. Fiber optics absorbs these wavelength & get destroyed. Rigid lens and mirror delivery system is used. Power outputs for gas lasers can be much higher than solid-state lasers, reaching 25 kw.

Gas Laser cont….. CO2 + He +N22 in glass tube N2 acts as intermediary between electrical & vibration energy. He cools for re excitation. Efficiency= 20%

Specification Energy density= 10^6 w/ mm² Power= 20 kw (1000w/ mm3 /min) Wavelength= 1-10 micron Weld thickness= upto 25mm (keyhole) Welding speed- 25-250 mm/min

Advantage Five axis laser control Excellent performance Processes high alloyed metals. Open atmospheric operation Narrow HAZ Low thermal inputs. No filler/flux is needed Easily welds dissimilar metals Extreme precise operation

Advantage cont….. Low weld distortion. Fast in terms of cost effictive Very small welding spot Weld inside transparent media like glass etc. Permits welding of small & closly spaced components of few micron size Welds electric insulators. Can be easily focused to microscopic dimension. visibility

Disadvantage Rapid cooling rates may cause cracking High capital cost Optical surface easily damaged High maintenance & setup cost Controlled process to limit its adverse effects Low welding speed Limited to depth of 1.5 mm without defects like blow holes & porosity.

Applications Electronic, Automotive & food processing Spot welds Vacuum components are welded easily Medical equipment Carbon steels & ferrous materials are welded Ideal for automation & robotics Used to weld IC to plates In aircraft industry to weld light gauge marerials Cu, Ni, Al, Ss, W, Ti, Zr, Ta Colunium etc Wire to wire, sheet to sheet, tube to sheet & small diameter stud welds.
