Does YAG laser welding increase penetration depth?

Katayama also increased penetration depth during YAG laser welding at reduced ambient pressure. The trends in penetration characteristics with decreasing vacuum levels are consistent among researchers using various laser types and alloys [146, 147, 356, 369, 390, 395].

Why is deep penetration welding important in additive manufacturing?

In additive manufacturing using powders, it is necessary to minimize vaporization and reduce potential defects that easily arise in deep penetration welding. Keyhole mode, also known as deep penetration welding, requires concomitant melting and vaporization. Benefits include deep penetration, low heat input, and narrow heat affected zones.

How does energy affect a weld?

Prior to the energy incident into the weld, there are physical interactions of the beam with the workpiece, plasma, and particles within the plume. After the energy is absorbed by the material, convective weld pool currents, heat conduction, vapor pressures, phase transformations, and metallurgical changes all influence the resultant weld.

Can arc welding be made in a single pass with EBW?

Welds that require multiple passes and addition of filler metal using arc welding processes can be made in a single pass with EBW. In order to achieve such deep penetration, welding must be done in the “keyhole mode” where vaporization of the workpiece and acceleration of the electron beam produces a cylindrical “hole” around which melting occurs.

How efficient is EBW welding?

EBW, however, maintains a nearly consistent energy transfer efficiency (85–95%) [156, 173] and readily transitions into a keyhole welding regime. This high efficiency is because reflectivity and plume interaction issues are not inherent to a high vacuum, EBW process. $$ \eta =\frac {P_i} {P_0}\kern1.5em \left [ unitless\right] $$

How does a pyrometer integrate with a weld monitoring system?

Such integration will result in high fidelity weld monitoring capable of providing full feedback control and machine learning processes [441, 493, 496]. A pyrometer detects changes in heat or infrared radiation emitted on its surface through an electrical signal.
