Laser welding: Theoretical background and applications

This book is intended for students or young scientists who want familiarize themselves with the required conditions and parameters for laser welding of similar and heterogenous materials. The new eco-technological tendencies intended to save on expensive materials have led to the need for welded parts that have various material combinations. Due to the high energy density welding process accuracy and easy automatization of the laser welding process it is the optimal tool for heterogeneous joints.
