Laser Welding of Grey Cast Iron with Spheroidal Graphite-Influence of Process Parameters on Crack Formation and Hardness

In the investigation at hand, sheets of ferritic and pearlitic grey cast iron with spheroidal graphite are welded using a fiber-laser. The influence of varying laser power and welding speed on the macroscopic characteristics of the weld seam and crack formation are analyzed and discussed. Substantia...
