Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'assembler des platines pourvues d'un revêtement métallique, par exemple d'un revêtement en Al ou en AL-Si, ou des feuillards (1, 2 ; 2') en acier par soudage au laser. Selon ce procédé, les platines ou les feuillards (1, 2 ; 2') sont soudé(e)s ensemble sans élimination préalable du revêtement métallique de la zone de soudure. L'invention vise à obtenir des joints soudés de qualité satisfaisante et à faible coût, sans élimination préalable du revêtement métallique dans la zone de soudure, lesdits joints étant adaptés en particulier à des processus ultérieurs de façonnage à chaud et de trempe à la presse. A cet effet, selon l'invention, le faisceau laser (6) est focalisé de telle manière qu'il vient frapper la zone de soudure avec un foyer allongé (6'). Le foyer allongé (6') s'étend sensiblement en alignement avec la soudure (11) et présente une longueur atteignant au moins le 1,5ème de sa largeur. Ainsi, la phase par voie sèche peut être maintenue plus longtemps et la durée de dégagement des gaz pour des composants de revêtement, diminuant la résistance, des platines ou des feuillards (1, 2 ; 2'), en particulier l'aluminium, peut donc être augmentée.
