Microstructure and mechanical properties of laser welded joints of pure copper and 304 stainless steels

【摘要】 A continuous wave diode laser with an output power of 2.8 kW was used to join pure copper and 304 stainless steel with a thickness of 1 mm.The focused laser beam with a diameter of 0.8 mm was irradiated on the copper side of the butt joints.In process of laser welding,effects of processing primary parameters on tensile strength of the joints were investigated.The interfacial characterizations of the joints were investigated by metallographic microscope,scanning electron microscope(SEM)and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscope(EDS).The results showed that the element diffusion and solution occur and metallurgical bonding was achieved between pure copper and 304 stainless steel.The maximum tensile strength of the joints was 209 MPa when the laser power of welding was 2.4 kW and welding speed was 12 mm/s.更多还原
