Effect of Very High Travel Speeds on Melting Efficiency in Laser Beam Welding

Abstract: Calorimetric measurements of the net heat input to the workpiece have been made to determine the effect of very high travel speeds on laser weld melting efficiency. Very high welding speeds are required in welding applications such as automotive where lasers are now applied extensively. Travel speeds as fast as 530 mm/s for continuous wave CO 2 laser welding on 304 stainless steel have been examined in this study. Melting efficiency indicates what fraction of the laser power absorbed is used to produce melting… Show more

“…[21] A moving round-shaped heat source on a semi-infinite body of material with a thickness of 10 mm was assumed. The calculations of heat flows by the Smartweld software were performed by using parameter sets that were appropriate for practical welding procedures including input power, electrode travel speed, and preheat temperature.…”

“…Therefore it is useful to define the melting efficiency m  according to (DuPont & Marder, 1995and Fuerschbach & Eisler, 1999and Eder, 2009) as the energy required to melt the fusion zone area divided by the energy input to the plate:…”

“…Pode-se dizer que com o aço carbono ocorre uma condição intermediária com relação às suas propriedades, resultando assim em um rendimento bruto de fusão também intermediário. Dessa forma, em coerência com Fuerschbach e Eisler [3] e Karkhin et al [4], evidências são mostradas de que a soldagem TIG CA tem um rendimento bruto de fusão bem …”

“…Considerando o caso do alumínio, que se acreditava ser a situação mais crítica, pelo mesmo possuir a maior condutividade térmica e menor temperatura de fusão (h = 0,64 cm, ρ = 2,8 g/ cm 3 , c = 0,9 J/g o C, T f = 649 o C, T o = 25 o C) e considerando uma velocidade de soldagem de 20 cm/min e um rendimento térmico do processo de soldagem TIG CA de 43% [6], da Equação 1 pode-se, então, estimar que a máxima energia de soldagem que pode ser imposta sobre o corpo confeccionado deste material para que o fl uxo de calor seja tridimensional é de cerca de 616 W. Como a tensão efi caz resultante do processo TIG gira em torno de 12 V, pode-se dizer que a corrente máxima de soldagem que pode ser aplicada para assegurar as condições requeridas é de cerca de 50 A.…”
