Abstract 6 mm thick hot rolled 7a52 aluminum alloy was welded by using fiber laser. The microstructures and properties of welded joints were studied at the same welding heat input with different welding parameters and different welding heat input. The result shows that the microstructure of welded joint consists of larger grain with equiaxed grain in the form of “snow” shape, the grain size was increased with the increase of welding heat input. With the increase of welding heat input, the loss of Mg element and Zn element were increased gradually. At the same welding heat input, high welding speed and high welding power can relatively reduce the burning loss of Mg and Zn elements. The results of hardness test showed that the microhardness of base metal is about 110 HV and microhardness in fusion center zone is the lowest, and microhardness curve in the form of “U” shape from weld center to the parent metal. With the increase of welding heat input, the joint can obviously improve the impact toughness and tensile strength. At the same welding input, the joint at high welding speed and high welding power input has lower impact toughness and higher tensile strength , the maximum tensile strength is 341.05 MPa , accounts for about 69.8% of the base metal. The tensile fractured surface of laser welded 7A52 aluminum alloy is plastic and brittle mixed fracture.

The results show that, when the backside melting width is similar in laser-TIG arc hybrid welding process by using dual laser beam and single laser beam, and comparing with single beam laser-TIG arc hybrid welding method, the continuity and uniformity of backside weld seam appearance are better when the dual beam laser-TIG arc hybrid welding method was used. The porosity is reduced by more than 50%. The average surface area of key hole is larger; the coefficient of surface variation of key hole is smaller. But the tensile strength, percentage elongation of fracture, microhardness and microstructure of hybrid welded joint are similar by using dual laser beam and single laser beam.

Abstract Seam tracking is one of key technologies in robotic automatic welding. To implement autonomous seam tracking, the key is to implement accurate extraction of laser stripes used to detect weld seam profiles in thick plate welding. According to the case where weld pools and laser stripes are simultaneously in the same frame, a method to effectively extract laser stripes was proposed based on the comprehensive orientation feature maps resulting from multi-region and multi-orientation Gabor filtering. Local-region average gray maximum method was used to remove interference, which is followed by connected domain methods to remove much small interference data. Experimental results show the effectiveness and it lays a good foundation for real-time seam tracking.

Abstract It takes too long time to repair failed mold with the traditional welding processes because the heat input is dispersed and the property of the heat affected zone is easily deteriorated. The laser welding was used to repair failed mold, which has the advantages of high degree of automation, short work time and concentrated heat input. But the cost of the equipment increases dramatically as the power increases. It can effectively reduce costs that active laser welding technology is applied to mold repairing because weld seam can get a higher depth of weld in low power. The effects of active laser welding on the microstructure and weld appearance at low power were studied by using H13 hot die steel as the experimental subject. The results show that the weld appearance of with the addition of active flux is better, the color of weld is bright and the scaly figure is clear. The active laser welding makes weld width increased by 8%, and weld penetration increased by 66%. No matter coated active flux or not, there are no cracks, porosity, inclusions or other defects in the welds. However, active laser welding can increase the size of the grain in the welds.
