Parameter Optimization for Laser Welding of High Strength Dissimilar Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

Dissimilar joining of high strength tensile steels are joined using laser beam welding. The selection of the welding conditions for joining of dissimilar materials is highly required to satisfy the quality of the joints. In the present investigation, optimization technique were used to determine the optimal welding conditions. Initially welding conditions were optimized for weld geometry and formation of different zones in the weldment. The metallurgical and mechanical properties of the welds are greatly influenced by the geometry of the welds. The surface response methodology design is carried out for the experimental design by the development of regression equations. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to check the validity of the model. The output of the welding conditions were compared with the predicted values to identify the accuracy of the model. The obtained results from response surface methodology were compared with the experimental results and validated.
