Analysis of Laser Welds on Automotive Steel Sheets

Abstract:

The paper presents results of quality analysis of the welded joints realized by CO2 laser (AF8P) using automotive body sheets and sheets for car chassis. There were used double-sided galvanized steel sheets of different grades and thicknesses. Welded joints were evaluated visually and then carrying capacity of the joints was established using tensile test. Welded joints were tested by following destructive tests: microhardness, macro and microstructure of the joints on metallographic sections using light microscopy. Results showed that the welding parameters were chosen appropriately.
