Studies on the micro-laser spot welding of an NdFeB permanent magnet with a low carbon steel

In search of high speed and miniaturization, the welding of NdFeB permanent magnet material is currently of increasing interest. Previous studies have shown that dissimilar material joining between magnet and steel sheets can be realized by laser irradiation, but it is still not clear how the welding parameters affect the weld quality. In this paper, the results are reported of experiments studying effects of laser pulse power, pulse duration, …
