“…Laser assisted welding of several grades of stainless steel was attempted for applications in power plant and chemical industries. 213 213,214 High speed laser welding of tin plate and tin free steel for container industries was reported by Mazumder and Steen 215. Until recently, automobile manufacturing extensively used resistance spot welding.…”

Light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation (laser) is a coherent and monochromatic source of electromagnetic radiation that can propagate in a straight line with negligible divergence. As a result, laser finds diverse applications ranging from mere mundane to most sophisticated uses either for totally commercial or purely scientific purposes, and from life saving to life threatening causes. High power lasers can produce intense heating and perform various manufacturing operations or material processing. The present contribution provides an overview of the application of high power laser only for material processing in engineering applications, and intentionally excludes the scope of application of laser in metrology, biomedical technology, spectroscopy, etc. The manufacturing processes covered have been broadly divided into four major categories, namely, laser assisted forming, joining, machining and surface engineering. Besides discussing the scope and principle of these processes, each section enumerates a detailed update of literature, scientific issues and technological innovations. At the beginning, a brief introduction to different types of lasers and their general applications, fundamentals of lasermatter interaction and classification of laser material processing has been provided. The entire discussion primarily focuses on correlating the properties with processing parameters and microstructure and composition of the material.

“…Since the introduction of lasers they are widely used in various technological processes of metal treatment, such as heat treatment, cutting, perforation of holes, evaporation of films, doping with the admixtures, synthesis of the alloys as well as welding [1][2][3][4]. Laser technologies are characterized by a number of advantages occupying a special position in industry.…”

The work analyses the main thermal and physical parameters of the material that condition the laser welding process. It is shown that the best quality of the laser welding seam in carbon-rich and highly doped steels is obtained when the seam is formed from the covering layer of the powder mixture deposited on the surface of the welded parts. It should be noted that, when the laser technology is used to weld the parts from copper or aluminium, the welding process can be carried out in the atmosphere of CO2 gas.
