โฆ Synopsis
Laser welding of mild steel sheets is carried out under nitrogen assisting gas ambient. Temperature and stress fields are computed in the welding region through the finite element method. The residual stress developed in the welding region is measured using the XRD technique and the results are compared with the predictions. Optical microscopy and the SEM are used for the metallurgical examination of the welding sites. It is found that von Mises stress attains high values in the cooling cycle after the solidification of the molten regions. The residual stress predicted agreed well with the XRD results.
