Spiking representing a periodic melting and solidification in the depth of fusion zone during high-intensity beam welding is experimentally and theorectically investigated in this work . A spike is a sudden increase in penetration beyond what might be called the average penetration line. Many spikes have voids in their lower portions because molten metal does not fuse to the sides of the hole, producing a condition similar to a cold shut in a casting. These defects seriously reduce the strength of the joint. Due to the significant role of specular reflection on absorption, an investigation of the beam characteristics, especially the focal location, on spiking is important. Furthermore, as the cavity base oscillates upward and downward relatively from the focal location, a central region subject to direct irradiation changes instantaneously from maximum to zero and vice versa. This leads to several hundred time difference in energy absorption and strongly periodic melting at the cavity base. Physical phenomenon of spiking is obtained by comparing between the measured and predicted data based on scale anlaysis of transport process near the cavity base and energy absorption as a function of focal location.

This text pursues the causes and phenomena in the course of the collapse of the molten metal layer surrounding a keyhole which is full of vapor and liquid particles during the high energy laser or electron beam drilling process. And the formation mechanism of the pores for the drilling process, to study the collapse phenomenon of the liquid layer is essential. In the research the collapse of the keyhole is taken as approximated to a transition between the slug and annular two-phase flows in a vertical pipe of varying cross-section. We develop and solve a quasi-steady, one-dimensional model for two phase flow with the assumption that the mixture in the core homogenous, ignoring the friction of the liquid layer, regarding the flow in the keyhole as supersonic, considering the mass transfer of the liquid layer to the keyhole. Two-phase flow can be liquid particle entrainment characteristics, infiltration precipitation, divided into two regions. The collapse of keyhole resulted from the infiltration of the liquid particles is chained to the pore formation. Based on the realization of annular two phase flow, In this text, that the liquid into the holes in the physical properties and caused pores formation.
