Spectroscopic Analysis of the Plasma in Laser Welding of AZ31 Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

AZ31 magnesium alloy was welded by the YAG laser. The plasma of laser welding was studied by the spectra and the plasma temperature was also calculated. The relationship between the welding parameters and plasma temperature was studied. The paper shows that the cooling effect of the plasma using helium is significant. Laser plasma temperature decreases from the center to the periphery and the temperature in the center is higher than 9000K. The evaporation of Mg element concentrates in the center of the laser plasma.
