Studying The Effect Of Laser Welding Parameters On The Quality Of Zek100 Magnesium Alloy Sheets In Lap Joint Configuration, Masoud Harooni, Fanrong Kong, Blair Carlson, Radovan Kovacevic
Mechanical Engineering Research
Magnesium, as the lightest structural metal, has been widely used in the automotive and aerospace industries. Porosity is the main issue in the welding of magnesium alloys and can be caused by surface coatings, hydrogen gas, pre-existing porosity, the collapse of an unstable keyhole and vaporization of alloying elements. In this study, the effect of the oxide layer on pore generation in the welding of AZ31B-H24 magnesium alloy is investigated. A fiber laser with a power of up to 4 kW is used to weld samples in a lap joint configuration. Two groups of samples are studied: as received (AR) …
