Introduction
This book systematically describes the weld pool behavior in laser welding and its
influencing factors from the perspectives of testing technology, theoretical calculation
and process simulation technology, physical state transformation behavior of weld
pools, and the impact of technical conditions on the weld pool behavior. The book
covers extensive research achievements made by China in this field, some of which
represent the latest cutting-edging research conducted by the authors’ research team.
These latest research efforts mainly relate to the weld pool behavior of dual-beam
laser welding, laser welding with filler wires, full-penetration laser welding of verythick parts, and laser welding in vacuum and low vacuum conditions.
This book can be used by teachers and students in universities and colleges and
engineering technicians for reference.
