- This paper combines the strength of a theoretical model and finite element method to predict the hot cracking susceptibility in laser welded aluminium alloy structures for aerospace applications, which can also be potentially extended to welding of other materials. It provides a useful tool for industry to save time and cost in optimizing the design of structure and avoiding the hot cracking during laser welding. The work has contributed to a £5.9M EPSRC funded project ‘New Wire Additive Manufacturing (EP/R027218/1)’, where the hot cracking models will be applied to designing Al alloys better suited to large area additive manufacturing.
