Joining stainless steel by using laser welding

Öz

Laser welding is used in industrial application areas. Laser welding, one of the modern joining methods, continues to be developed and offers important advantages such as precision, speed and flexibility over existing welding methods. In this paper; the existing studies in the literature on the joining stainless steel by using laser welding method has been investigated in detail. Evaluated studies were systematically analyzed and grouped and presented to the attention of the researchers. The researchers are mainly focused on the examination of the keyhole obtained by the deep penetration method in laser welding, the examination of the effect of laser welding parameters on the mechanical properties of the welds, the tensile strength, fatigue strength and temperature distribution of the material and the examination of the effect of laser welding parameters on the microstructural properties of the welded joint concentrated.
