Mechanisms Forming Undercuts during Laser Hybrid Arc Welding
2011
That the final quality of a welded joint, using a laser hybrid arc process, is sensitive not only to the geometrical joint conditions, but also to the content of elements in the surface itself, is already known. However the description of the mechanisms forming undercut defects is still vague. In the following study two kinds of undercuts were identified. It is shown how the mill scales affects the melt motion and what mechanisms actuate the creation of the defects. The conclusion that surface oxides affect the severity of weld undercuts is straight forward but here also the mechanism is explained.
