In an embodiment, a method of forming a cooling plate, comprises laser welding a plurality of weld lines to physically connect a first substrate and a second substrate wherein the plurality of weld lines forms an inflatable track; and inflating the inflatable track with an inflation fluid to form a cooling channel in the cooling plate. In another embodiment, the cooling plate can comprise a first substrate and a second substrate and a plurality of weld lines can form a fluid tight seal for a cooling channel located therebetween.

Laser cutting on a plated steel sheet is executed by cutting the plated steel sheet by irradiating the plated steel sheet covered with a plate metal with laser light at a wavelength in a 1 micrometer band; and emitting assist gas onto a cut surface of the plated steel sheet, the cut surface being formed in the step of cutting, to make the plate metal fused by irradiation of the laser light flow to the cut surface so as to cover the cut surface with the plate metal.

In a manufacturing method of a tailored blank including a first steel plate and a second steel plate to be joined by butt welding, the first and second steel plates are butt welded with a laser beam. The laser beam has a power density q1 in a first region, a power density q2 in a second region, a power density q3 in a third region, and a power density q4 in a fourth region. The power density q1, the power density q2, the power density q3, and the power density q4 satisfy a relationship of q1>q2>q3>q4.

A method for welding coated steel sheets, particularly steel sheets that are coated with an aluminum-silicon metallic coating layer, is provided. A configuration of two laser beams is provided, wherein the laser beams act on a weld pool that is to be formed, at least one laser beam rotates around a rotation axis so that the laser beams execute a movement relative to each other, and the laser beams are guided along a welding axis. In order to achieve a mixing of the weld pool, a defined stirring effect and a defined welding speed in relation to each other are adhered to, wherein a mathematically defined condition applies to the stirring effect.
