Fabrication of aluminumAluminum structures often involves fusion processes such as laser weldingLaser welding, which can present challenges, including susceptibility to welding cracks and deformation. This study experimentally investigates the effect of key laser weldingLaser welding parameters on thin aluminum alloysAluminum alloy panels. To this end, three different types of aluminum alloyAluminum alloy samples (3003-H14, 5052-H14, and 6061-T6) were welded using varying laser power and scanning speeds. Microscopic images are taken to qualitatively analyze the differences between the various laser parameters on the aluminumAluminum panels.
