Abstract: In this paper, the experiment of laser deep penetration welding of S600 aluminum alloy with thickness of 1.5 mm was carried out under different process parameters by orthogonal test method. The experimental results show that laser power, welding speed and laser beam linear oscillation frequency all have great influence on weld forming and welding quality. The increase of laser power is beneficial to the increase of welding depth and aspect ratio. With the increase of welding speed and linear oscillation frequency, the welding depth and aspect ratio decrease. The welding power of 3 250 W, welding speed of 80 mm/s and laser beam linear oscillation frequency of 80 Hz were selected as the optimization results of the process parameters. Compared with the optimal parameter group in the orthogonal test, the tensile performance was improved by 8.32%. The research results can provide reference for laser welding of lightweight all-aluminum automobile body connection.
