Effects of welding parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of the AA6061 aluminium alloy joined by a Yb: YAG laser beam

In this study, the effects of Yb: YAG laser welding parameters on the microstructure and mechanical properties of AA6061-T4 joints were analysed. Samples without any welding defects such as porosity, melt pool collapse, and hot cracking were produced with different welding parameters. Energetic proc...
