Abstract

Many investigations into laser oscillations for mitigating severe porosity in aluminum alloys have involved trading off penetration depth, potentially disrupting the porosity suppression mechanism. In this study, an oscillation laser butt-lap welding technique was designed, and the effect of oscillation frequency on cross-section morphologies and porosity rate was investigated while maintaining the constant weld depth. The findings unveiled that heightened oscillation frequencies led to diminished porosity levels, and this pattern remained consistent, even in cases where weld depths were extended. High-frequency laser beam oscillation enhanced the stability of the keyhole, increased the duration of the molten pool existence, and reduced porosity to 0.17%. Thus, this study offered significant insights into the impact of oscillation on laser welding of aluminum alloys.
