Foreword
the topic of laser keyhole weld pool behavior. Professor Gong’s research team has
proposed and established various theories on the dynamic behavior of laser welding
pool, which provide a theoretical basis for revealing welding defect mechanisms,
welding process stability mechanism and its equilibrium conditions, guiding the
practical engineering applications. At the same time, the theories also underpin the
research and application of other laser process technologies.
This book is a monograph on the basic study of laser welding, particularly on
laser keyhole welding, laser welding with wire filler, laser welding of thick section
materials and laser vacuum welding. It would be a valuable reference for researchers
and engineers. I am very happy to recommend this book to the readers.
