Title
Laser Welding Of Porous Thin Sheets Made Of Metal Fibers
Abstract
The applicability of laser to join thin sheets of porous filter materials made of ultra-fine 316 stainless steel fibers is investigated. Lap welding is carried out with a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser for samples of different porosity and fiber diameters. The effect of laser welding parameters on weld quality is also investigated. High-quality weld can be obtained with laser welding carried out in an inert gas medium without adding filler material. Laser welding of highly porous materials exhibits many peculiarities compared to the case of full-density materials. Structural mechanisms underlying these peculiarities are discussed.
