Joint properties of cast Fe-Pt magnetic alloy laser-welded to Co-Cr alloy.
This study investigated the joint properties of Fe-Pt alloy laser-welded to Co-Cr alloy. Cast plates (0.5 x 3.0 x 10 mm) were prepared with Fe-Pt and Co-Cr alloys. Fe-Pt plates were butted against Co-Cr plates and laser-welded using Nd:YAG laser. Control and homogeneously welded specimens were also prepared. Laser welding was performed with and without argon shielding. Tensile testing was conducted, and both fracture force (Ff: N) and elongation (El: %) were recorded. There were no differences in the Ff value between the specimens with and without argon shielding for the welded Fe-Pt/Co-Cr. Lower Ff value of the welded specimen was obtained in the order of Fe-Pt alloy < Fe-Pt/Co-Cr < Co-Cr alloy. The results indicated that Fe-Pt welded to Co-Cr had Ff values between the values of homogeneously welded Fe-Pt and Co-Cr alloys. Argon shielding, on the other hand, had no effect on the weld strength between Fe-Pt and Co-Cr alloys.
