Laser Welding of Stainless Steel 321 in Different Welding Positions

Abstract:

It was revealed that spatial position during laser welding of AISI 321 stainless steel influences the processes in the weld pool and the process of its crystallization. The geometry, structure, distribution of chemical elements depend on the cooling rate of the welded joint, which varies in different spatial positions during laser welding of stainless steel AISI 321. To achieve the lowest variance of results and the maximum values of mechanical characteristics of the welded joints of AISI 321 stainless steel it is recommended to produce laser welding in a vertical position.
