Laser welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy with beam oscillation

Circular beam oscillation was introduced to laser welding of 2 mm-thick AZ31 magnesium alloy. The appearance, microstructure and tensile properties of the welds were investigated. It was found that the low frequency about 50 Hz and the small radius about 0.5 mm are more beneficial to improve the wel...
