Abstract
The plasticity of welded 441 ferritic stainless steel joints was controlled by varying the laser beam spot diameter during laser welding. A stainless steel plate thickness of 1.2 mm was used. The microstructures of the welded joints were analyzed for various spot diameters. The elongation of breaks and the reduced area of tensile specimens were analyzed to study the effects of spot diameter on plasticity of the welded joints. The results showed that the weld melt width and weld column crystal size increased with the spot diameter, but isometric crystals in the center of the weld were gradually reduced. Increasing spot diameter resulted in decreased tensile strength, elongation after breaks, and area reduction. So the parameter must be controlled during the laser welding.
