The effect of pulse welding parameters on weld geometry of boron steel using low power fibre laser

Demands of tailored weld blank application on press hardened materials such as boron steel have given interest in the process parameter study of laser welding. The pulse wave mode of laser welding produces high peak power, replacing the continuous wave mode which could lead to wider applications. Du...
