abstract = {Laser beam welding, a contactless joining technique, is
increasingly favored in automated industrial production due
to its rapid processing and localized heat effects. However,
a significant challenge associated with laser beam welding
is the susceptibility of the material to solidification
cracking. One potential strategy to mitigate solidification
cracking involves manipulating the melt pool shape and flow
dynamics through laser parameter adjustment. However,
current approaches based on user observations and
assumptions often lack a mechanistic foundation, leading to
an empirical trial-and-error process for identifying
suitable processing parameters, materials, or geometries.
This necessitates extensive and time-consuming
experimentation. To overcome this limitation and achieve
significant advancements in laser beam welding, a
quantitative understanding of solidification crack formation
mechanisms and their correlation with process parameters is
crucial. Although numerous research efforts, both
experimental and simulative, have been dedicated to this
topic, existing theories primarily rely on qualitative
explanations focusing on metallurgical, strain, or
stress-based phenomena. Unfortunately, these approaches have
not yet yielded a clear and quantitative model description
that can be readily implemented through experimentation.
Experimental approaches are hampered by the poor visibility
of the process zone. Although cracks can be identified
postmortem, it is challenging to draw conclusions about the
mechanisms of formation. This study addresses this gap by
employing in situ x-ray high-speed imaging to investigate
the dynamics of crack formation in laser beam welding.
Experiments conducted at the German Electron-Synchrotron
(DESY) at Petra III, beamline P07 compare
parameter-dependent crack formation behavior in stainless
steel AISI 304. The results suggest that the distribution of
laser energy within the weld zone and its influence on melt
pool behavior and microstructure play a critical role in
solidification cracking.},
