    The heat input is the amount of energy supplied per unit length of the welded workpiece. In this study, the effect of two different heat inputs in laser beam welding of a high strength aluminum alloy AA6013-T4 was evaluated from macrostructural and microstructural points of view. The experiments were performed using a continuous wave 2 kW Yb-fiber laser with 100 μm spot size on the upper surface of the workpiece. Keeping the heat input at a given level, 13 or 30 J/mm, the laser power was changed from 650 W to 2 kW and the welding speed from 33 to 150 mm/s. In the condition of higher heat input 30 J/mm it was possible to obtain both cutting and welding processes. For 13 J/mm, welding processes were obtained in conduction and keyhole modes. The equiaxed grain fraction changed with changing speed for the same heat input. The laser processing induced a decrease in the hardness of the weld bead of about 25% due to the solubilization of the precipitates. The estimated absorptivities of the laser beam in the liquid aluminum changed largely with experimental conditions, from 4.6% to 10.5%, being the most significant source of error in measuring the real amount of energy absorbed in the process. For the same heat input the macrostructure of the welded surfaces, i.e., humps and dropouts, changed as well. All these facts indicate that the heat input is not a convenient method to parameterize the laser beam welding parameters aiming the same weld features.

    Laser surface treatment for enhanced titanium to carbon fiber‑reinforced polymer adhesion.
    (2017) Palavra, Armin; Coelho, Bruno Nazário; Hosso, Jeff Th. M. de; Lima, Milton Sérgio Fernandes de; Carvalho, Sheila Medeiros de; Costa, Adilson Rodrigues da
    The adhesion between carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) and titanium parts can be improved by laser surface texturing before gluing them together. Here, a pulsed Nd:YAG laser was employed before bonding of the textured surfaces using an epoxy paste adhesive. To investigate the influence of the laser parameters, the roughness of the surfaces were characterized and correlated to the wettability, by measuring the contact angles of water droplets. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) characterization was also performed showing that under careful conditions, the fiber structure could be maintained. Tensile tests were performed to evaluate the influence of the laser treatment parameters on the joining efficiency. The lap-joint tensile strength tests presented the best results when the titanium surfaces were treated using 5.03 × 10−3 J pulses and the CFRP sample treated with 5.03 × 10−4 or 5.03 × 10−3 J or even using a virginal CFRP surface. Using a virginal CFRP surface, the critical load of fiber delamination was increased and as a consequence the tensile strength attains the highest level of 8.2 MPa.
