Abstract
In order to weld ultra-thin T2 copper with high reflectivity by means of Nd:YAG laser at 1.064μm,based on orthogonal test method,effects of pulse peak current,its duration and frequency on maximum shear stress were studied under the conditions of nitrogen protection,+2mm defocusing amount and 1.5mm/s welding speed.The relationships between maximum shear stress and pulse peak current,its duration and frequency were obtained in the experiments; the welding surface and its microstructure were observed.The results show that the ultra-thin copper with high reflectivity can be well spot-welded by means of Nd:YAG laser at 1.064μm,based on design of processing parameters such as the laser pulse shape.
