Abstract
There is described a method for welding thin metal sheets (A, B) by the localized heating of limited juxtaposed zones of the metal sheets to be welded to cause their fusion and to form spot welds (S). In each weld zone, the metal sheets (A, B) are heated and fused along a closed line so that each weld spot (S) has a substantially annular configuration in cross section in a plane parallel to the metal sheets. This welding may be achieved for example with the use of a laser (2) produced by a laser source (1), or by electrical resistance welding with a pair of opposed electrodes (6, 7) the ends whereof which are intended to grip the metal sheets (A, B) are suitably shaped.

Honeycomb core structure and method and apparatus relating thereto

TL;DR: A core structure (50), an apparatus (170), and a method which utilizes laser bonding to fabricate the core structure are described in this article, which is characterized by laser bonds in patterns between adjacent sheets (20, 22, 24, 26, 28) of aluminum, stainless steel, and titanium foil which create honeycomb core structures (50) when the bonded stack of sheets is expanded by the application of tensional forces.

Machining process using radiant energy

TL;DR: In this paper, a process using a beam of radiant energy, such as electron beams and laser beams, for removing material from a workpiece wherein the workpiece is made of a material which has a low degree of energy absorption for the kind of the radiant energy used consists in finely distributing an auxiliary material having a high beam absorbing characteristic within the work piece material in at least the portion thereof from which material by absorbing heat builds up vapor pressure which carries the adjacent molten material out of the work zone.
