Laser beam welding offers various advantages over the other conventional weld processes. In fusion reactor, some critical components with high weld quality are proposed to be fabricated with Laser beam welding. The present paper reports the mechanical properties and micro structural characterization of 8 mm thick SS 316L samples fabricated with high power CO2 Laser welding system. The process parameters of 3.5 kW and speed of 600 mm/min with Argon shielding gas are used. The Laser welded samples are subjected to non destructive testing with X-ray radiography and ultrasonic tests. The welded samples tested have indicated good quality joints with full penetration and no significant porosity and cracks. Further, the samples are subjected to standard mechanical tests namely tensile properties test (UTS), bend test and Impact Fracture test. The Laser weld joints produced better tensile properties as compared to the base metal. In addition, Vickers hardness tests and optical microstructure are studied for the base metal (BM), Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) and weld zone(WZ).

Laser beam welding of light alloys has always represented a big challenge for both designers and technologists due to the large number of process parameters to take into account and the variable responses of the different materials to be welded. In this paper the results of experimental research on laser beam welds of innovative heat treatable aluminum alloys is reported. The well known T geometry (a stringer welded to a skin) has been considered. Two different skins have been analyzed: AA 2139 and AA 6156, both in form of rolled sheets. Two different stringer have been analyzed: AA 2139 and PA 765, both in form of extruded parts. AA 4047 has been used as filler wire. In the first part of the paper, all the steps leading to the realization of sound welds will be described. The criteria used in order to assess the soundness of a weld was the absence of defects, such as cracks or large pores, verified by means of NDE. In the second part of study, both micro structural analysis and mechanical characterization of welds will be described and discussed. Conclusions will demonstrate the importance of the influence of chemical composition of the parts, above all stringer. The performance of the best welds, however, were very close to those of parent materials.
