The term laser is the abbreviation for
,,Light Amplification by Stimulated
Emission of Radiation”. The laser is
the further development of the maser
(m=microwave), Figure 10.1. Al-
though the principle of the stimulated
emission and the quantum-
mechanical fundamentals have al-
ready been postulated by Einstein in
the beginning of the 20th century, the
first laser - a ruby laser - was not
implemented until 1960 in the Hughes
Research Laboratories. Until then
numerous tests on materials had to
be carried out in order to gain a more
precise knowledge about the atomic
structure. The following years had
been characterised by a fast devel-
opment of the laser technology. Already since the beginning of the Seventies and,
increasingly since the Eighties when the first high-performance lasers were available,
CO2 and solid state lasers have been used for production metal working.
The number of the
annual sales of la-
ser beam sources
has constantly in-
creased in the
course of the last
few years, Figure
10.2.

in 1994 are shown in Figure 10.3. The main application areas of the laser in the field
of production metal working are joining and cutting jobs.
The availability of
more efficient laser
beam sources
opens up new ap-
plication possibili-
ties and - guided
by financial con-
siderations - makes
the use of the laser
also more attrac-
tive, Figure 10.4.
Figure 10.5 shows the characteristic properties of the laser beam. By reason of the
induced or stimu-
lated emission the
radiation is coher-
ent and mono-
chromatic. As the
divergence is only
1/10 mrad, long
transmission paths
without significant
beam divergences
are possible.

Inside the resonator, Figure 10.6, the laser-active medium (gas molecules, ions) is
excited to a higher energy level (“pumping”) by energy input (electrical gas dis-
charge, flash lamps).
During retreat to a lower level, the energy is released in the form of a light quantum
(photon). The wave length depends on the energy difference between both excited
states and is thus a characteristic for the respective laser-active medium.
A distinction is made between spontaneous and induced transition. While the spon-
taneous emission is non-directional and in coherent (e.g. in fluorescent tubes) is a
laser beam gener-
ated by induced
emission when a
particle with a
higher energy level
is hit by a photon.
The resulting pho-
ton has the same
properties (fre-
quency, direction,
phase) as the excit-
ing photon (“coher-
ence”). In order to
maintain the ratio of
the desired induced
emission I sponta-
neous emission as
high as possible,
the upper energy
level must be con-
stantly over-
crowded, in com-
parison with the
lower one, the so-
called “laser-

inversion”. As result, a stationary light wave is formed between the mirrors of the
resonator (one of which is semi-reflecting) causing parts of the excited laser-active
medium to emit light.
In the field of production metal working, and particularly in welding, especially CO2
and Nd:YAG lasers are applied for their high power outputs. At present, the devel-
opment of diode lasers is so far advanced that their sporadic use in the field of mate-
rial processing is also possible. The industrial standard powers for CO2 lasers are,
nowadays, approximately 5 - 20 kW, lasers with powers of up to 40 kW are available.
In the field of solid state lasers average output powers of up to 4 kW are nowadays
obtainable.
In the case of the
CO2 laser, Figure
10.7, where the
resonator is filled
with a N2-C02-He
gas mixture, pump-
ing is carried out
over the vibrational
excitation of nitro-
gen molecules
which again, with
thrusts of the sec-
ond type, transfer
their vibrational
energy to the car-
bon dioxide. During

nally, lead the CO2
molecules back to
their energy level.
The efficiency of up
to 15%, which is
achievable with
CO2 high perform-
ance lasers, is, in
comparison with
other laser sys-
tems, relatively
high. The high dis-
sipation component
is the heat which must be discharged from the resonator. This is achieved by means
of the constant gas mixture circulation and cooling by heat exchangers. In
dependence of the type of gas transport, laser systems are classified into longitudi-
nal-flow and transverse-flow laser systems, Figures 10.8 and 10.9.
With transverse-flow laser systems of a compact design can the multiple folding
ability of the beam reach higher output powers than those achievable with longitudi-
nal-flow systems, the beam quality, however, is worse. In d.c.-excited systems
(high voltage), the
electrodes are po-
sitioned inside the
resonator. The in-
teraction between
the electrode mate-
rial and the gas
molecules causes
electrode burn-off.
In addition to the
wear of the elec-
trodes, the burn-off

also entails a contamination of the laser gas. Parts of the gas mixture must be there-
fore exchanged permanently. In high-frequency a.c.-excited systems the electrodes
are positioned outside the gas discharge tube where the electrical energy is
capacitively coupled. High electrode lives and high achievable pulse frequencies
characterise this
kind of excitation
principle. In diffu-
sion-cooled CO2
systems beams of
a high quality are
generated in a
minimum of space.
Moreover, gas ex-
change is hardly
ever necessary.
The intensity distribution is not constant across the laser beam. The intensity distribu-
tion in the case of the ideal beam is described by TEM modes (transversal elec-
tronic-magnetic). In the Gaussian or basic mode TEM00 is the peak energy in the
centre of the beam weakening towards its periphery, similar to the Gaussian normal
distribution. In practice, the quality of a laser beam is, in accordance with DIN EN
11146, distinguished
by the non-
dimensional beam
quality factor (or
propagation factor)

real beam and is
therefore a meas-
ure of a beam fo-
cus strength. By
means of the beam
quality factor, dif-
ferent beam
sources may be
compared objec-
tively and quanti-
taively.
The CO2 laser beam is guided from the resonator over a beam reflection mirror sys-
tem to one or several processing stations, Figures 10.11 and 10.12. The low diver-
gence allows long transmission paths. At the processing station is the beam, with the
help of the focussing optics, formed according to the working task. The relative mo-
tion between beam and workpiece may be realised in different ways:
- moving workpiece, fixed optics
- moving (“flying”) optics
- moving workpiece and moving optics (two handling facilities).
In the case of the
CO2 laser, beam
focussing is normally
carried out with mir-
ror optics, Figure
10.13. Lenses may

sorption, especially
with high powers or

sipated only over the holders, there is a risk of deformation (alteration of the focal
length) or destruction through thermal overloading.
In the case of solid state laser, the normally cylindrical rod serves only the purpose
to pick up the laser-active ions (in the case of the Nd:YAG laser with yttrium-
aluminium-garnet crystals dosed with Nd3+ ions), Figure 10.14. The excitation is, for
the most part, carried out using flash or arc lamps, which for the optimal utilisation of
the excitation energy are arranged as a double ellipsoid; the rod is positioned in their
common focal point. The achieved efficiency is below 4%. In the meantime, also di-
ode-pumped solid
state lasers have
been introduced to
the market. The
possibility to guide
the solid-state laser
beam over flexible
fibre optics makes
these systems des-
tined for the robot
application,
whereas the CO2
laser application is
restricted, as its
necessary complex
mirror systems may
cause radiation
losses, Figure
10.15.
Some types of opti-
cal fibres allow, with
fibre diameters of ≤
1 mm bending radii
of up to 100 mm.

switches a multiple utilisation of the solid state laser source is possible; with beam
splitters (mostly
with a fixed splitting
proportion) simulta-
neous welding at
several processing
stations is possible.
The disadvantage
of this type of beam
projection is the
impaired beam
quality on account
of multiple reflec-
tion.
The semiconductor or diode lasers are characterised by their mechanical robust-
ness, high efficiency and compact design, Figure 10.16. High performance diode la-
sers allow the welding of metals, although no deep penetration effect is achieved. In
material processing they are therefore particularly suitable for welding thin sheets.
Energy input into the workpiece is carried out over the absorption of the laser
beam. The absorption coefficient is, apart from the surface quality, also dependent
on the wave length
and the material.
The problem is that
a large part of the
radiation is re-
flected and that, for
example, steel
which is exposed
to wave lengths of
10.6 µm reflects
only 10% of the
impinging radia-

ductivity, it is frequently used as mirror material.
Intensity adjust-
ment at the work-
ing surface by the
focal position with
a simultaneous
variation of the
working speed

flexible and con-
tactless tool, Fig-
ure 10.18. The
methods of welding
and cutting de-
mand high intensi-
ties in the focal point, which means the
distance between focussing optics and
workpiece surface must be maintained
within close tolerances. At the same
time, highest accuracy and quality
demands are set on all machine com-
ponents (handling, optics, resonator,
beam manipulation, etc.).
Steel materials with treated surfaces
reflect the laser beam to a degree of
up to 95%, Figures 10.19 - 10.22.

conduction welding with a low deep-
penetration effect is possible. Above
the threshold intensity value (I ≤ 106
W/cm2) a phase transition occurs and
laser-induced plasma develops. The
plasma, whose absorption character-
istics depend on the beam intensity
and the vapour density, absorbs an
increased quantity of radiation.
A vapour cavity forms and allows the
laser beam to penetrate deep into the
material (energy input deep beyond
the workpiece surface); this effect is
called the “deep penetration effect”.
The cavity which is moved though the
joining zone and is prevented to close
due to the vapour pressure is sur-
rounded by the largest part of the mol-
ten metal. The residual material vaporises and condenses either on the cavity side
walls or flows off in an ionised form. With suitable parameter selection, an almost
complete energy input into the workpiece can be obtained.
However, in de-
pendence of the
electron density in
the plasma and of
the radiated beam
intensity, plasma
may detach from
the workpiece sur-
face and screen off
the working zone.
The plasma is

high degree that only a fraction of the beam radiation reaches the workpiece. This is
the reason why, in laser beam welding, gases are applied for plasma control. The
gases’ ionisation potential should be as high as possible, since also the formation of
“shielding gas plasmas” is possible
which again decreases the energy in-
put.
Only a part of the beam energy from
the resonator is used up for the actual
welding process, Figure 10.23. Another
part is absorbed by the optics in the
beam manipulation system, another
part is lost by reflection or transmission
(beam penetration through the vapour
cavity). Other parts flow over thermal
conductance into the workpiece.

advantages and disadvantages of the

the resonator (beam quality), the
focal position and the applied optics
(focal length; focus diameter).
Figure 10.26 shows several joint
shapes which are typical for car body
production and which can be welded
by laser beam application.
The high cooling rate during laser beam welding leads, when transforming steel
materials are used, to significantly increased hardness values in comparison with
other welding
methods, Figure
10.27. These are a
sign for the in-
creased strength at
a lower toughness
and they are par-
ticularly critical in
circumstances of
dynamic loads.

The small beam diameter demands the very precise manipulation and positioning of
the workpiece or of
the beam and an
exact weld prepa-
ration, Figure
10.28. Otherwise,
as result, lack of
fusion, sagged
welds or concave
root surfaces are
possible weld de-
fects.
Caused by the high cooling rate and, in connection with this, the insufficient de-
gassing of the molten metal, pore formation may occur during laser beam welding
of, in particular, thick plates (very deep welds) or while carrying out welding-in works
(insufficient degassing over the root), Figure 10.29.
However, too low a weld speed may also cause pore formation when the molten
metal picks up gases from the root side.
The materials that
may be welded
with the laser reach
from unalloyed and
low-alloy steels up
to high quality tita-
nium and nickel
based alloys. The
high carbon con-
tent of the trans-

high cooling rate, to be considered a critical influential factor where contents of C >
0.22% may be stipulated as the limiting reference value. Aluminium and copper
properties cause problems during energy input and process stability. Highly reactive
materials demand, also during laser beam welding, sufficient gas shielding beyond
the solidification of the weld seam. The sole application of working gases is, as a
rule, not adequate.
The application of laser beam welding may be extended by process variants. One is
laser beam welding with filler wire, Figures 10.30 and 10.31 which offers the following
advantages:
- influence on the mechanic-technological properties of the weld and fusion zone
(e.g. strength, toughness, corrosion, wear resistance) over the metallurgical composi-
tion of the filler wire
- reduction of the demands on the accuracy of the weld preparation in regard to edge
misalignment, edge preparation and beam misalignment, due to larger molten pools
- “filling” of non-ideal, for example, V-shaped groove geometries
- a realisation of a defined weld reinforcement on the beam entry and beam exit side.

The exact positioning of the filler wire is a prerequisite for a high weld quality and a
sufficient dilution of the molten pool through which filler wire of different composition
as the base can reach right to the root. Therefore, the use of sensor systems is indis-
pensable for industrial application, Figure 10.32. The sensor systems are to take over
the tasks of
- process control,
- weld quality as surance
- beam positioning and joint tracking, respectively.

10. Laser Beam Welding 145
The present state-of-the-art is the further development of systems for industrial appli-
cations which until now have been tested in the laboratory.
Welding by means of solid state lasers has, in the past, mainly been applied by
manufacturers from the fields of precision mechanics and microelectronics. Ever
since solid state lasers with higher powers are available on the market, they are ap-
plied in the car industry to an ever increasing degree. This is due to their more vari-
able beam manipulation possibilities when comparing with CO2 lasers. The CO2 laser
is mostly used by
the car industry and
by their ancillary
industry for welding
rotation-
symmetrical mass-
produced parts or
sheets. Figure
10.33 shows some
typical application
examples for laser
beam welding.
