Experimental Investigation on Electric Current-Aided Laser Stake Welding of Aluminum Alloy T-Joints

In the present study, aluminum alloy T-joints were welded using the laser stake-welding process. In order to improve the welding quality of the T-joints, an external electric current was used to aid the laser stake-welding process. The effects of the process parameters on the weld morphology, mechan...
