ABSTRACT:
A 3-25 mm metal plate 22, 27, usually ferrous, is welded by a heavy-duty laser (5-25 kw) which melts through the plate and into a support member 24, 31 below to give a unitary weld. A gas supply to the laser beam focus is provided such that on the one hand the plasma is retained at least partially near the weld pool to give good energy transfer and on the other the plasma does not all escape.
