Fractography of Laser Welds
SourceA series of high-strength alloys has been laser-beam welded in thicknesses of up to 1.27 cm (0.5 in.). These welds in steels, a titanium alloy, and an aluminum alloy have been tested for their mechanical properties, fracture toughnesses, and hardness. The microstructures of these weldments have been determined in the base plate, heat-affected zone, and fusion area. The fractographic features for each alloy have been determined and correlated with the weldment's properties and structures.
