Numerical Simulation on the Origin of Solidification Cracking in Laser Welded Thick-Walled Structures

One of the main factors affecting the use of lasers in the industry for welding thick structures is the process accompanying solidification cracks. These cracks mostly occurring along the welding direction in the welding center, and strongly affect the safety of the welded components. In the present...
