Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2830477A1] Overlapping welding of two coated metal sheets using a high density energy beam involves splitting the beam into a sub-beam passing through both metal coated sheets and a non-through second sub-beam forming a second molten metal bath. A neutral gas jet is directed onto the second molten metal bath to form a sink at the surface of the second molten metal bath. Overlapping welding of two coated metal sheets (1, 2) with a beam of high density energy (11) consists of splitting the beam into (i) a sub-beam (12) passing through both coated metal sheets and forming a first molten metal bath (18) and (ii) a non-through second sub-beam (13) forming a second molten metal bath (19) with a depth of less than the thickness of the upper coated metal sheet and overlapping at least a part of the first molten metal bath to favor the evacuation of vapor from the coating material. A neutral gas jet (21) is directed onto the second molten metal bath at a high ejection speed to form a sink (22) at the surface of the second molten metal bath. An Independent claim is included for a device for the overlapping welding by means of a high density energy beam.
