Guide to Laser Welding

Among the technologies intended for the processing of materials with a laser, laser welding is particularly highlighted, which includes the latest achievements in the development of laser devices. It requires a clear understanding of the physical mechanisms and phenomena, accompanying laser welding. Therefore, the directory examines a variety of laser or hybrid welding processes, welding of various types of materials, a description of the metallurgical, chemical and mechanical aspects of welding is given.
The directory is divided into four parts. Section I reviewed the basic principles of physical welding processes and revealed the causes of defects. Section II is dedicated to specific technologies, laser welding of various materials are considered. Section III presents methods for numerical modeling of the laser welding process, a procedure for calibrating tools in robotic welding is described. Section IV discusses the specific values ​​of the operating parameters and welding conditions in industrial applications.
The book is addressed to students, engineers, scientists, teachers and will become an important and useful for all who are interested in laser welding - from newbies to specialists and experts
