It facilitates the welding of diverse range of materials like metals, non-metals, polymers etc. Laser transmission welding is a technique employed for fabricating intricate shapes/contours in polymers with better precision compared to the other conventional processes. Nylon6, a synthetic semi-crystalline polymer is utilized as an engineering thermoplastic due to its high strength and temperature resistant properties. In the earlier researches, various welding techniques were employed for the fabrication of polymers and metals keeping the laser beam stagnant, and much emphasis was given only to temperature distribution along the different axes and limited attention was given to residual stress analysis. Therefore, in this research work, a three-dimensional time-dependent model using a moving laser beam is used to fabricate unreinforced Nylon6 specimens.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Analysis of through transmission laser welding of Nylon6 by finite element simulation}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/104013/PDF/6-Gupta.pdf}, keywords={laser transmission welding, simulation, through transmission laser welding, glass transition temperature, finite element method}, }
