Influence of CO2 Shielding Gas on High Power Fiber Laser Welding Performance

The weldabilities were investigated during 10 kW high-power fiber laser welding of 304 stainless steel with the shielding gases of 100% Ar, 80% Ar + 20% CO2 and 100% CO2, respectively. As the proportion of CO2 in shielding gas increased from 0% to 20% then to 100%, the molten pool became unstable an...
