Disk Laser Welding of ZE 41 Magnesium Alloy

Abstract:

The paper deals with disk laser welding of magnesium alloy with the content of rare earth elements. ZE 41 magnesium alloy with the thickness of 2.0 mm was used as experimental metal. TruDisk 4002 solid state laser with a wavelength of 1.03 microns and a maximum power of 2.0 kW was used for welding of magnesium alloy. Laser power which was applied ranged from 0.6 to 1.2 kW. The focal position of laser beam was fixed on the surface of magnesium alloy and the welding speed was set to 70 mm/s. Argon with flow rate of 12 l/min was used as shielding gas. Light microscopy, EDX microanalysis and micro hardness measurements across base metal - fusion zone interface were carried out in order to analyze the weld joints.
