This presentation looks at the experimental procedure and results of laser welding of maraging steel rocker motor casing. It concludes that a fracture occurred in weld metal of autogenous welding and that a fracture occurred in base material when filler material was added. It concludes further that the LMD joining process developed with excellent repeatability.
