Dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in high power fiber laser welding of stainless steel
摘要： A three-dimensional numerical model, considering the real-time multiple reflections of a laser beam, adiabatic bubble model and shear stress, was developed to study the dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in fiber laser welding of stainless steel. The inner dynamic keyhole behavior and weld defect formation were directly observed in a high resolution assisted by transparent glass. The numerical and experimental results showed that the keyhole width reached the quasi-steady state earlier than the keyhole depth did during fiber laser welding of stainless steel. Due to the large recoil pressure at rear keyhole wall caused by the irradiation of laser energy reflected by the bulge at the front keyhole wall, the rear keyhole wall was severely deformed at keyhole bottom and keyhole middle. The rear keyhole wall was collapsed due to the high surface tension pressure and hydrostatic pressure. The whole keyhole collapse was attributable to the capillary instability of the keyhole associated with large depth/width ratio and the strong flow of the bulges at the keyhole wall. When the laser power was increased, the keyhole depth/width ratio was increased, so the keyhole was more capillary instable. The average inclined angle of the front keyhole wall was decreased.

Observation of the keyhole behavior, spatter, and keyhole-induced bubble formation in laser welding of a steel/glass sandwich
摘要： Laser welding of a steel/glass sandwich is carried out to clearly observe the keyhole behavior, spatter, and keyhole-induced bubble formation. The formation mechanisms of the spatter and keyhole-induced bubble are analyzed, and the relationship between the spatter and keyhole-induced bubble formation is also discussed. There are five necessary steps for the spatter formation around the keyhole: the formation of the bulges at the keyhole wall, the decrease of the keyhole entrance size caused by the upward flow of the bulges, the formation of the melt column around the keyhole, the increasing of the melt column size, and the spatter formation around the keyhole. The decrease of the keyhole entrance size contributes to the increase of the vapor shear stress, and thus accelerates the spatter formation. The large deformation of the top rear keyhole wall decreases the vertical component of the vapor shear stress, so few spatters are formed at the rear keyhole wall. Two types of the keyhole-induced bubble are formed by the whole keyhole collapse between the front keyhole wall and rear keyhole wall, and the rear keyhole wall collapse. The influence of the keyhole-induced bubble formation on the spatter formation is not obvious.

Analysis of back-weld spatters in laser welding of CP-Ti
摘要： The laser welding of commercial grades of pure titanium plate TA2 with 0.5 mm was taken, and the back area of the molten pool was photographed by high-speed camera. Also, the reasons of back spatters were studied. Spatters on the back side of the plate have three main types: continuous spatters, periodic spatters and no spatters. All continuous back spatters are accompanied by the appearance of keyhole, and the keyhole can be observed at the moment when periodic spatters appear. The downward shear stress applied by the downward jet of metal vapor from the keyhole is an important reason for backside spatter. Increased laser power or welding speed will increase shear force, eventually contributing to more spatters. When the defocused distance is increased to 30 mm, the keyhole is completely obscured on the back side, so there is no spatter at this time.
