LASER WELDING METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240316693 titled 'LASER WELDING METHOD
Simplified Explanation: This patent application describes a method for laser welding multiple metal plates stacked upright by irradiating them with a laser beam to create a molten pool and scanning the beam around the pool to enlarge it.
- The method involves irradiating the metal plates with a laser beam to form a circular molten pool.
- The laser beam is scanned once around the outer periphery of the molten pool to increase its size.
- The scanning start point of the laser beam is set within a specific range in the scanning direction to ensure effective welding.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Laser welding method for stacked metal plates in an upright position.
- Formation of a circular molten pool by irradiating the metal plates with a laser beam.
- Scanning the laser beam around the molten pool to enlarge it for welding.
- Precise positioning of the scanning start point for optimal welding results.
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for welding stacked metal plates efficiently and effectively.
Problems Solved: This method addresses the challenge of welding multiple metal plates stacked upright by providing a precise and efficient laser welding process.
Benefits:
- Improved welding efficiency and accuracy.
- Enhanced weld quality and strength.
- Cost-effective and time-saving welding process.
Commercial Applications: The laser welding method for stacked metal plates can be applied in industries requiring high-quality and precise welding, such as automotive manufacturing, aerospace engineering, and metal fabrication.
Questions about Laser Welding Method: 1. How does the scanning start point of the laser beam impact the welding process? 2. What are the advantages of using a laser welding method for stacked metal plates compared to traditional welding techniques?
Original Abstract Submitted
a laser welding method for irradiating a plurality of stacked metal plates in an upright position with a laser beam to weld the plurality of stacked metal plates is provided. the laser welding method includes irradiating the plurality of metal plates with the laser beam to form a circular molten pool and scanning the laser beam once around an outer periphery of the molten pool to enlarge the molten pool. in the enlarging of the molten pool, a scanning start point of the laser beam is set within a range from 135 degrees to 315 degrees in a scanning direction of the laser beam, with 0 degrees directly above the molten pool in a vertical direction.
