The components are today Friction Stir Welded. Some quick tests with laser welding however resulted in leakage. This thesis work aims at redesigning joints in the component to be more suitable for laser welding and to make a productivity assessment.

1st part - literature survey
This part is a literature survey on
• Typical defects in laser welding of extruded aluminium and remedies believed to minimize risks for the defect formation. Specifically lack of fusion and cracks.
• Joint design suitable for laser welding (configuration, preparation and position). This part may include modelling and simulations.
• Principles to minimize deformation and residual stresses.
• How to do a productivity calculation.

2nd part - experimental work
This is an experimental part performed mainly at Swerea KIMAB

• Propose a simplified test object for welding instead of the full component.
• Design different joint configurations (including sensitive parameters or critical dimensional deviations) to evaluate the most suitable for laser welding (considering risk for deformation and defects).
• Perform/Participate in laser welding.
• Evaluate welds mainly with optical microscopy from polished and etched cross sections and measure deformation (preferably with 3D scanning technique).
• Perform/Participate in laser welding of a product made of aluminum extrusions. Asses the welding sequence and how this will affect the deformation.
• Perform leakage test of a product.
• Make a productivity calculation.

Profile
