Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the generation of welding defects by using a gaseous mixture contg. oxygen at a specific mixing ratio as a shielding gas to execute laser welding of Al members. CONSTITUTION:The shielding gas is constituted of the gaseous mixture composed of an inert gas and oxygen and the mixing ratio of the oxygen component in the gas is controlled to 15-90%. The Al members 1 are butted to each other and are subjected to laser welding while the above-mentioned gaseous mixture is used as the shielding gas. A build-up part 2a and undercut part 2b of a weld metal 2 are formed if the mixing ratio of Al is <15%. An overlap part 2c and underfill part 2d are formed to form the weld defect if the oxygen in the gas exceeds 90%. The formation of the undercut part 2b, the underfill part 2d, etc., is prevented by the above-mentioned method, by which the defect of the weld zone is prevented.

However, if the laser beam is used as a workpiece for an aluminum-based member such as aluminum or an aluminum alloy, the laser beam will be reflected and sufficient absorption will not occur, so welding or cutting may not be possible. In order to solve these problems, it was necessary to apply a carbon-based surface coating agent to the surface of the workpiece to increase the laser beam absorption rate, or to perform special surface treatment. Regarding the method of applying this surface coating agent, please refer to the 1985 Kozueiso Society Autumn Conference Academic Lecture Papers (pages 679 to 680, 2 publication date, September 24, 1985), ``On CO2 laser welding of aluminum.

[Invention is l! Problems to be solved] When cutting aluminum parts using conventional processing methods for aluminum parts that use surface coating agents or surface treatments, surface coating agents are susceptible to evaporation and combustion. Since it is removed,
It does not remain in the workpiece and does not deteriorate the characteristics of the processed part. However, when welding aluminum-based parts together, the workpieces go through a process of melting and then solidifying, so surface coating agents and surface treatments remain in the molten metal, resulting in a decrease in the strength of the welded part. There is a problem in that it causes defects such as plowholes and cracks.

Aluminum and aluminum alloys are considered to be the least likely to be contaminated with oxygen, nitrogen, moisture, etc. during welding, and a shielding gas such as highly purified He+He is used. Absorption of a laser beam, especially a CO2 laser beam, is greatly influenced by the material of the workpiece. The shielding gas in this invention is a mixed gas containing oxygen. For example, in the case of a mixed gas of oxygen and argon, aluminum oxide is produced in the beam irradiation area. Furthermore, when nitrogen is included in the mixed gas, aluminum nitride is produced. These aluminum oxides and aluminum nitrides have a high laser beam absorption rate and can perform V-za welding of aluminum-based members without the need for a surface coating agent or the like.
