Stimulated Emission of Radiation)
? 1961 Manufacturing of the first HeNe lasers and Nd: glass lasers
? 1962 development of the first semiconductor lasers
? 1964 Nobel price for Towens, Prokhorov and Basov for their works in
the field of masers construction of the first Nd:YAG solid state lasers
and CO gas lasers
? 1966 Established laser emission on organic dyes since increased
application of CO and solid state laser
? 1970 Technologies in industry
? 1975 First applications of laser beam cutting in sheet fabrication industry
? 1983 Introduction into the market of 1-kW-CO lasers
? 1984 First applications of laser beam welding in industrial serial production
Laser Beam Welding (EBW)
? Electron Beam Welding (EBW) is a welding process
which produces coalescence of metals with the heat
obtained from a concentrated beam composed primarily
of high- velocity electrons impinging upon the surface to
be joined.
? Heat is generated in the work piece as it is bombarded
by a dense stream of high- velocity electrons. Virtually all
of the kinetic energy of the electrons is transformed into
heat upon impact.
Schematic Layout of Laser Beam Welding
Characteristics of Laser Beams Welding
? A high energy concentration in the focal point of the
electron beam.
? Welding in vacuum leads to a special purity of the welded
seam and to the minimization of weld defects.
? Automated welding in vacuum with electrically well
controllable welding parameters guarantees a high
reproducibility of the weld quality.
? The high power density of the electron beam allows
working with very high welding speeds.
? The high welding speeds and the favorable total efficiency
allow high productivity with relatively low energy

Industrial Application
Temperature During Laser Beam Welding
Weldding Defect
? Undercuts/Overlaps
? Grain Growth
? A wide ?T will exist between base metal and HAZ. Preheating and
cooling methods will affect the brittleness of the metal in this region
? Blowholes
? Are cavities caused by gas entrapment during the solidification of the
weld puddle. Prevented by proper weld technique (even temperature
and speed)
Weldding Defect
? Inclusions
? Impurities or foreign substances which are forced into the weld puddle during
the welding process. Has the same effect as a crack. Prevented by proper
technique/cleanliness.
? Segregation
? Condition where some regions of the metal are enriched with an alloy
ingredient and others aren¡¯t. Can be prevented by proper heat treatment and
cooling.
? Porosity
? The formation of tiny pinholes generated by atmospheric contamination.
Prevented by keeping a protective shield over the molten weld puddle.
Advantages of Laser Beam Welding
Disdvantages of Laser Beam Welding
Conclusion
? Laser beam welding opens up many opportunities for
designing and economically joining machine parts. Various
branches of industry, which use laser beam welding
include electronics, automotive, and food processing.
