Lecture notes from the Construction Techniques and Engineering Maintenance course at Universiteit Gent covering laser welding principles and applications. The document details laser types (CO2, Nd-YAG, fiber lasers), beam properties, absorption factors, and practical welding techniques including heat conduction and keyhole welding modes. Includes coverage of surface treatment applications and key parameters influencing laser beam quality and weld characteristics. Essential reference material for the Master in Mechanical and Electrical Systems Engineering program, with comprehensive diagrams and parameter explanations to support exam preparation and practical understanding.
