Disk Laser Welding of Copper to Stainless Steel

Article Preview

Abstract:

The paper concerns with welding of copper to stainless steel. Technically pure Cu and AISI 304 austenitic stainless steel with the thickness of 2.0 mm were suggested as experimental metals. TruDisk 8002 laser with the wavelength of 1.03 μm and a maximum power of 8.0 kW was used for production of dissimilar metal welds. Laser power from the range of 2.3 to 2.9 kW and welding speed from 35 to 50 mm/s were used for welding dissimilar metals. Focal position was direct on the surface of welded metals. Helium with flow rate of 17 l/min was used for shielding of molten weld metal. Light microscopy, EDX microanalysis and micro hardness measurements across copper - fusion zone - stainless steel interface were performed in order to study the properties of the weld joints.
