ABSTRACT:
A method for welding a plurality of stacked laminations includes positioning an edge of the laminations adjacent to a pulsed laser for receiving a pulsed laser beam at the kerf defined between adjacent laminations. The laser is operated to direct the pulsed laser beam at the kerf for melting the adjacent laminations to a predetermined maximum depth. The laser is controlled to limit heat input at the kerf for effecting a generally parabolic melting zone. The stacked laminations 10 are moved transversely edge-to-edge relative to the pulsed laser beam for repeating the pulsed welding at successive kerfs.
