About this book

This book systematically describes the weld pool behavior in laser welding and its influencing factors from the perspectives of testing technology, theoretical calculation and process simulation technology, physical state transformation behavior of weld pools, and the impact of technical conditions on the weld pool behavior. The book covers extensive research achievements made in China in this field, some of which represent the latest cutting-edging researches conducted by the authors' research team. These latest research efforts mainly relate to the weld pool behavior of dual-beam laser welding, laser welding with filler wires, full-penetration laser welding of very-thick parts, and laser welding in vacuum and low vacuum conditions. The book is intended for undergraduate, graduate students and researchers who are interested in laser welding.

About the authors

Dr. Shuili Gong received his Ph.D. degree from Department of Materials Science and Engineering, Xi’an jiaotong University in 2001. Currently Dr. Gong is Deputy Chief Engineer of AVIC BAMTRI (Beijing Aeronautical Manufacturing Technology Research Institute) and the Principle Technology Specialist of AVIC in non-traditional machining subject and executive Vice-President of National Key Laboratory for Power Beam Processing Technology, China. Dr. Gong is also appointed as part-time Professor in many Universities including Dalian University of Technology, Beijing University of Technology, and Shenyang University of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Dr. Gong focuses on the researches of power beam (laser/electron beam/plasma) processing technoliges including welding, cutting, additive manfaucturing and surface engineering. Dr. Gong received the prestigious Brooker Award from TWI Ltd (2013), and has 85 patents and published more than 200 technical papers.

Dr. Shengyong Pang received his PhD degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST) in 2011. Currently, Dr. Pang is a professor of State Key Laboratory of Materials Processing and Die & Mould Technology, HUST and directed the Computational Welding and Additive Manufacturing (CWAM) group of HUST since 2011. Dr. Pang focuses on the research of understanding the process physics of high-density beam welding and additive manufacturing. Dr. Pang has developed finite volume and finite element software for predicting thermal fluid and stress behaviors in fusion welding and additive manufacturing. These software have been increasingly used in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical, transportation and IC companies and commercialized by industries. Dr. Pang has published more than 60 papers in refereed journals and coauthored a book on laser welding. Dr. Pang received the National Science Fund for Excellent Young Scholars award in 2020.
