Laser-induction welding of nodular grey cast iron using oscillating beam guidance-microstructural and mechanical characterization

In the present investigation, laser-induction welding using oscillating beam guidance is employed to joint sheets of nodular grey cast iron, which typically exhibit poor weldability properties. Through non-destructive dye-penetrant testing, a reduction of more than 50% in crack density as a result o...
