Influence of scan paths on flow dynamics and weld formations during oscillating laser welding of 5A06 aluminum alloy

Numerical simulations and experiments are conducted to investigate the influence of three different scan paths, namely straight, sine, and cycloid, on the flow dynamics and weld formation during the laser welding of 5A06 aluminum alloys. The cycloid scan path produced molten pools with the largest d...
