A Numerical Investigation of Laser Beam Welding of Stainless Steel Sheets with a Gap

Keyhole laser beam welding (LBW) of 304L stainless steel sheets with a gap in between was numerically simulated with a three-dimensional, transient, multi-physical model for laser material processing based on the finite volume method (FVM). First, the model’s ability to reproduce experimental result...
