TL;DR: In this paper, the recent progress in laser welding of magnesium alloys has been reviewed from different perspectives, such as porosity, cracking, oxide inclusions and loss of alloying elements.

TL;DR: In this article, the research and progress in laser welding of wrought aluminum alloys are critically discussed from different perspectives, and the primary objective of the review is to understand the influence of welding processes on joint quality and to build up the science base of laser welding for reliable production of aluminum alloy joints.

TL;DR: In this paper, the main laser welding processing parameters including the laser-, process-, and material-related variables and their effects on weld quality are examined and the main factors that affect welding quality are discussed.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art technology on the carbon fibre reinforced aluminium matrix composites is reviewed in this article, where the available raw material, various fabrication techniques along with their effects on the properties of the composites produced and manufacturing problems encountered are described in detail.
