Abstract

This paper used the Laser Speckle Interferometry to present the strain analysis of Nd:YAG Laser welding zone. Previous TIG welding to sheet plate, which welds only high-skilled engineer, produces residual stress nearby welding zone due to thermal effect. However, Laser welding makes sheet pate welding easy and thermal effect minimum. Thermal effect zone is measured by strain analysis of the laser-welding zone by ESPI under tensile testing of sheet plate welded by Nd:YAG laser. The ESPI results, which compared with strain gage method, are agreed within error 3 %.
