A device and associated method for joining, via a laser welder, a first workpiece to a second workpiece is described. This includes arranging the first and second workpieces in a stack, including overlapping a portion of the first workpiece with a portion of the second workpiece. The laser welder generates a first laser beam and coincidentally controls the laser welder to traverse a desired weld path that is disposed on the top surface of the first workpiece. The laser devices generates a second laser beam and coincidentally controls the laser welder to traverse the desired weld path. Generating, via the laser welder, the first laser beam includes operating the laser welder at a pulsed operation and at a first power level. Generating, via the laser welder, the second laser beam includes operating the laser welder at a continuous operation and at a second power level.

A method of welding a support on a slide profile, which comprises: a) providing a support having a wall with an inner face, and providing a profile having a wall with an outer face, b) positioning the interface support with the inner face of its wall against the outer face of the wall of the profile, c) creating a welding joint between the wall of the support and the wall of the profile by moving a laser beam relative to the wall of the profile, while keeping the laser beam in a position such that it successively passes through, from an emitting source: the wall of the profile, then the wall of the support, while remaining within the material of the wall of the support.

A method of forming a bearing cage segment includes determining a path of a periphery of the bearing cage segment along a metal sheet, punching a plurality of openings in the metal sheet inside the path to form a plurality of pockets separated by a plurality of bridges and separating the bearing cage segment from the metal sheet at the path. The separating includes laser cutting first and second joint edges at a first end of the row and third and fourth joint edges at a second end of the row, where the first joint edge is spaced from the second joint edge in a length direction of the bridges and the third joint edge is spaced from the fourth joint edge in the length direction of the bridges.

Disclosed are an aluminum-coated blank, a manufacturing method thereof, and an apparatus for manufacturing the same. The blank includes two or more aluminum-coated steel sheets connected together by a joint, each of the steel sheets including: a base steel sheet including 0.01-0.5 wt % of carbon, 0.01-1.0 wt % of silicon, 0.5-3.0 wt % of manganese, greater than 0 but not greater than 0.05 wt % of phosphorus, greater than 0 but not greater than 0.01 wt % of sulfur, greater than 0 but not greater than 0.1 wt % of aluminum, greater than 0 but not greater than 0.001 wt % of nitrogen, and the balance of iron and other inevitable impurities; and a coating layer including aluminum and formed on at least one surface of the base steel sheet.

Methods for producing a cohesive laser bond connection, wherein, in a first method step, a bond element (2) made from copper is provided, in a second method step, a contact element (3) made from copper is provided, and, in a third method step, the bond element (2) and the contact element (3) are connected to one another in a joined fashion under the action of green laser radiation (1).

A method for fusion welding of one or more steel sheets (1, 2) made of press-hardened steel, preferably manganese-boron steel is disclosed. At least one of the steel sheets has a metallic coating (4) which contains aluminum, and the fusion welding is performed while filler material (11) is being fed into the molten bath (9). In order to improve the hardenability of the weld seam (14), irrespective of whether the steel sheets to be welded together are steel sheets of the same or different material grades and/or steel sheets of different sheet thicknesses, a single laser focal spot (16) with different energy distribution is generated on the molten bath by means of one or more optical elements such that the laser focal spot (16) has a smaller laser focal spot area (16.1) and a larger laser focal spot area (16.2).
