The prospects for the use of lightweight materials (aluminum alloys, magnesium alloys, and
titanium alloys) in high volume vehicle manufacturing are discussed. Laser welding of …

Since its inception, laser beam welding as a high-quality fusion joining process has
ascertained itself as an established and state of art technology exhibiting tremendous …

This paper reports on a study aiming at comparing properties of the Ti6Al4V titanium alloy
joints between pulsed Nd: YAG laser welding and traditional fusion welding. To achieve the …

Additive friction stir deposition (AFSD) is a relatively new additive manufacturing technique
to fabricate parts in solid state below the melting temperature. Due to the solid-state nature …

In this work, a high-frequency pulsed laser-welding process was successfully implemented
to fabricate a Ti–6Al–4V alloy butt joint. The microstructure of each zone of the welded joint …

In recent years, there is an increased in used of titanium alloys for some parts of mass-
produced automobiles and aerospace. However, titanium alloys are characterized by …

The influence of welding speed and laser power on weld quality of 1.6 mm thick Ti− 6Al− 4V
sheets autogenously laser beam welded in butt configuration using a Nd-YAG laser was …

In this study, continuous wave (CW) and pulsed wave (PW) lasers (pulse frequencies of 5,
50, and 500 Hz) were used to weld TC4 alloy joints, and the microstructure and corrosion …

In the present study, laser beam welding of commercially pure titanium has been carried out
at different scan speeds in the range from 2.4 m/min to 4 m/min at 2.15 kW laser power and …

Thermomechanical modeling of laser material processing in general, and defect modeling in
particular, has raised attention in both academia and industry for the last twenty years …
