Porosity and joint property of laser-MIG hybrid welding joints for 304 stainless steel
Source abstract
Abstract
Laser-metal inert gas (MIG) hybrid butt welding was carried out on 5 mm-thick 304 stainless steel to study the influence of parameters on porosity defect, weld formation, and property of the joints. Research reveals that laser-MIG hybrid welding of 304 stainless steel has porosity sensitivity. The effects of welding speed and laser power on porosity and formation of welds were analyzed. Results show that increasing of laser power and decreasing of welding speed are conducive to improve the formation of welds and reduce porosity. Improving the welding speed on the premise of ensuring proper weld formation is of considerable significance, which is recommended to be 1.8 m/min. Based on the fixed welding speed, parameter of laser power optimization is carried out. Results show that tensile strength and elongation of the welded joints reach at least 98.1% and 75.8% of the base metal when laser powers are 4.3 and 5.0 kW. Compared with real-time monitoring and the numerical simulation method, this kind of results-oriented optimization parameter method has engineering guiding significance.
