Fiber Lasers Application for Welding of Titanium Alloys With 16 mm Thickness

摘要

This article illustrates the use of fiber laser welding of a titanium alloy with 16 mm thickness. The basic advantages of the laser welding process over the traditional methods of arc welding of titanium are demonstrated. Destructive testing of welds was performed to confirm the quality of the welding. The results of the static tensile tests, static bending and toughness at room temperature are presented. All tests confirmed the high quality of the welded joint.
