Abstract :
Titanium G2 and aluminum were overlapped and joined using CO2 continuous laser welding technology. Welding pool geometry of the aluminum plate of joints were measured and examined. Taguchi method was used for designing the experimental and mathematical models to predict the concerned response. The developed mathematical models were used for optimising the welding pool geometry of joints.
