Abstract

The effect of pre-heating on the mechanical properties of laser welding joints has been investigated for the case of SM45C carbon steel welded by a cw Nd:Y AG laser. The occurrence of porosity and cracking was inspected in various welding conditions to find the optimal welding parameters. The results of laser welding experiment with pre-heating technique showed that porosity and cracking can be reduced significantly in most of welding conditions and the welded joints have improved mechanical properties, such as higher tensile strength and better durability.
