Nd:YAG laser welding of aluminium : factors affecting absorptivity

• This paper investigates the factors affecting the absorptivity during Nd:YAG laser keyhole welding of a 6xxx aluminum alloy. The influence of surface condition on absorption is shown to be negligible. Experimental absorption measurements by calorimetry are compared to analytical absorption values using a simple model based on Fresnel absorption during multiple reflections in the keyhole.
