Abstract
In this paper, we represent experimental laser welding of GH3030 alloy. The microstructure and mechanical properties of laser welded joints were investigated using an optical microscope, scanning electron microscope, energy diffraction spectrum and other methodologies. The results demonstrated that the weld primarily involved slender dendrites together with a small number of equiaxial crystals. The occurrence of porosities was mainly associated with the composition of the material itself. The cracks in the HAZ were induced by lowmelting- point eutectic phases that formed during laser welding. The segregation of the alloying elements in the matrix induced the variation of the performance within the joint. The average strength of welded joints was 646 MPa, 97.6 % of that of the base metal. Formation of inclusions and micropores in the fusion zone weakened the joint strength greatly.
