Effect of Laser Welding Properties on Ti/Al Dissimilar Thin Sheets – A Review
Laser beam welding is an important joining technique
for Titanium/Aluminum thin sheet alloys with their increasing
applications in aerospace, aircraft, automotive, electronics and other
industries. In this paper the research and progress in laser welding of
Ti/Al thin sheets are critically reviewed from different perspectives.
Some important aspects such as microstructure, metallurgical defects
and mechanical properties in weldments are discussed. Also the
recent progress in laser welding of Ti/Al dissimilar thin sheets to
provide a basis for further research work is reported.
