Autogenous fiber laser welding of 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy plates
Cupronickel alloys such as 70/30 Cu-Ni have excellent resistance to sea water corrosion and anti-fouling properties, and thus have been widely used for naval and offshore applications.Traditionally, arc welding and brazing processes have been used to weld such materials.In contrast, laser beam welding is a promising technology due to its high produ
