Hastelloy C-276, corrosion resistant alloy at high temperature, is used in chemical plant and power generation industry. In this study, process parameter of laser welding for welding property in Hastelloy C-276 using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser was studied. As the result of experiment, laser welding did not show segregation or crack at heat affected zone compared to conventional GTWA welding. The melting zone showed cell dendritic structure along with welding line. In addition, planer front solidification is occurred from welding structure, and it was progressed to cellular solidification. Optimal process parameter for butt welding was 1.2kW and 2.0 m/min for laser power and welding speed, respectively. While heat input, output density, tensile stress, and longitudinal strain was $441.98{\times}103$ J/cm2, $29.553{\times}103$ W/cm2, 768 MPa, and 0.689, respectively. Lap welding of the same material showed greater discrepancy in tensile property during 1 line and 2 line welding. For 1 line welding, tensile stress was about 320 MPa, and 2 line showed slightly larger tensile stress. However, strain was decreased by 20%. From this result, lap welding of the same material, Hastelloy C-276, with 2 line welding is considered to be more effective process than 1 line welding with consideration of mechanical property.

본 논문에서는 Nd:YAG 레이저 용접 시 열 복사의 색수차를 이용한 광학적 감시 방법 및 실시간 자동 초점 제어에 관한 연구를 기술한다. 광학적 감시 및 제어를 위해 두 개의 파장을 선택하였고, 색수차를 최적화 하였다. 실시간 자동 초점 제어는 두 신호의 비를 감시하고 이 신호의 비를 이용하여 초점을 항상 유지하도록 함으로써 임의의 형태로 구부러진 시편의 용접이 가능하였다.

Jo Bessel 빔은 무회절 빔으로서 빔이 전파해 가면서 강도 분포의 변화가 없는 빔이다.$^{[1]}$ 이 베셀빔을 구현하기 위해서는 무한대의 크기를 갖는 수렴렌즈를 사용하여야 하기 때문에 완벽한 베셀빔을 구현할 수는 없다. 그러나 원고리형 슬릿$^{[3]}$ , Axicon 및 Computer -Generated Hologram(CGH)을 사용하여 근사적인 Bessel 빔을 만들 수 있다. 본 실험에서는 Negative Branch Unstable Resonator(NBUR) 고리형 Nd:YAG 공진기와 scraper 출력경을 사용하여 원고리형 출력광을 얻으며, 이에 의한 Bessel 빔을 구현 하기 위한 이론적인 배경과 이의 전산시늉을 시도하고, 실험결과와의 비교, 분석하였다.

본 논문에서는 일체형, Nd:YAG 고리 레이저에서 서로 반대방향으로 진행하는 두 모드의 비선형적인 상호작용에 의한 출력 불안정 현상을 조사하였다. 실험을 통하여 두 모드가 각각 단일 종모드로 발진함을 확인하였고, 레이저가 발진하는 임계치 부근의 낮은 펌핑수준을 유지하여 다중모드간의 경쟁이나 단방향 발진에 의한 출력 불안정이 아님을 확인하였다. 또한 잘 알려진 시스템 고유의 감쇄진동과 구별되는 현상임을 보였다. 두 모드간의 손실차가 클수록 이 출력의 변조주파수는 증가하고 변조폭이 줄어 들어 안정화 되며 단방향 발진이 일어난다.

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.

The real-time holographic interferometer with digital high-speed camera is applied to the experimental study of laser induced plasma/plume in pulsed Nd:YAG laser welding. A pulsed Nd:YAG laser with 1.2 kW average power is applied to generate laser induced plume. The recording speed of the high-speed camera is 3,000 f/s. The high speed photographs of weld plume without another visualization method, are compared with the visualization photographs with holographic interferometer. The radiation intensity from the laser induced plume is recorded by the high speed photographs, which fluctuated during laser radiation and disappeared after laser end. The density distribution of the plume is recorded by the holographic visualization method. The experimental results show the process of generation of the laser induced plasma/plume, and give the feasibility of quantitative measurement of laser induced plume in laser welding.

Spot welding which use the main process for side block production of stainless steel railway vehicle is legged behind in laser welding about a quality and productivity. Although the laser welding has many potential advantages such as low heat input and aspect ratio of weld bead, its application to a new structural component still is required many engineering data including mechanical properties such as tensile, fatigue strength, etc on. Therefore, experimental analysis was carried out to understand the fatigue phenomena of different thickness stainless steel overlap joining panels by Nd:YAG laser welding. The fatigue life curves were obtained through fatigue tests with the various levels of applied load. The fatigue life is related with the parameters such as gap size and penetration depth through experiment. As the results, tensile strength and fatigue life were proportional in heat input level and gap was identified the major factor for fatigue life. Also we could know that deferent a-ferrite content at HAZ depend on welding heat input was important factor to determine a formation of initial crack and total fatigue life cycle.
