To this end, it is important to understand the influencing factors and their effects on the resulting properties. For this purpose, several commercially available systems were tested and characterized. The laser beam properties of the systems examined vary, e.g., in terms of beam waist diameter, power distribution, beam quality factor M2, beam divergence, focal shift, and beam oscillation options. The main difference in these systems includes the type of laser source (single-mode and multi-mode) and maximum power. After characterizing the systems, welding tests were also carried out with different materials, including different steel types. Porosity and appearance of the weld seam were selected as the main criteria for evaluation. Based on the results, it can be concluded that it is not possible to simply transfer optimized process parameters or a welding procedure specification (WPS) between different systems. Imperfect designs of the optical setup may result in focal shifts exceeding the Rayleigh range which, in turn, can be the cause of weld anomalies, e.g., reduced penetration depth.

To address this challenge, this study proposes a vision-based deep learning framework for temporal regression prediction of backside keyhole feature variables from topside weld pool image sequences. The keyhole area (KA) and keyhole deviation distance (KDD) are defined as quantitative geometric indicators of penetration status, which are calibrated from backside images using a trained adaptive semantic segmentation model. To extract and integrate spatial–temporal relationships, a CNN-LSTM architecture is designed with a MobileNetV3 backbone and two-layer LSTM units. Independent regression heads are constructed for KA and KDD to improve learning stability. Experimental evaluation shows that the proposed CNN-LSTM model reduces the MAE and improves <i>R</i><sup>2</sup> compared to CNN-only baselines, highlighting the benefit of temporal modeling for stable KDD variable. To bridge the gap between algorithm development and real-world application, an online deployment system is designed and implemented using a lightweight inference engine. This system achieves real-time prediction of keyhole status and geometric variables with high accuracy and low latency.

To overcome these limitations, this study developed a multiphysics-coupled model to investigate heat and mass transfer processes in the arc-bubble system under varying UFPC parameters. By analyzing the UFPC waveform via Fourier series expansion and applying electromagnetic field theory, a novel approach was developed to elucidate the ultrasonic wave generation mechanism induced by the arc. This mechanism was subsequently modeled by incorporating the resulting ultrasonic radiation force as a time-varying source term in the momentum conservation equation. Simulation results indicated that increasing peak current and UFPC frequency significantly enhanced momentum output and pressure concentration in the arc core region, promoting stable bubble evolution. This synergistic effect improved arc thermal characteristics, reduced temperature and pressure fluctuations, and ensured continuous energy delivery to the weld pool. Moreover, higher peak currents expanded the high-temperature plasma region, while elevated UFPC frequencies enhanced arc stability and thermal symmetry. The combination of high peak current and UFPC frequency further improved momentum transport and flow stability by increasing plasma velocity and vortex strength. Experimental observations of bubble morphology, evolution period, and volume closely matched the simulation results, confirming the model’s accuracy.

Therefore, response surface methodology (RSM) with the central composite design (CCD) technique was employed to optimize the key process parameters, including the welding speed, pulse duration, and focal depth.

In the shipbuilding industry, predicting welding-induced distortions is a critical step in the design cycle, offering valuable insights for welding engineers to prevent or mitigate them through both preventive and corrective measures. Despite all efforts, such distortions cannot be entirely avoided, and post-weld mitigation techniques are often necessary. In this paper (part 2), the flame straightening process of the grillage structure assembled in the accompanying paper (part 1) was simulated using the finite element inherent strain method (FE-ISM). In the first step, the inherent strain field generated by a triple-nozzle oxyacetylene torch was derived using finite element thermo-elasto-plastic analysis (FE-TEPA) and a DFLUX subroutine in the ABAQUS/CAE software. By applying the equivalent thermal strain method (ETSM) with a two-layer laminated composite shell element, artificial coefficients of linear thermal expansion were calculated for each layer. In the second step, using the restart analysis technique, the inherent strain components were incorporated into the FE-ISM model of the prior welding process. Employing the simultaneous double-line heating technique, eight different heating sequences were designed to evaluate the impact of prioritizing the straightening order of either the peripheral or central weld lines on the skin plate. Simulation results indicated that the straightening process should begin with the central weld lines, followed by the peripheral ones, to achieve maximum effectiveness in reducing the out-of-plane distortions of the skin plate.

By making an indentation in one of the two sheets to be welded and inserting the desired quantity of tramp element before welding, the weld nugget can specifically be alloyed. This allows to quickly analyse the influence of individual tramp elements on the microstructure and its influence on the resulting mechanical properties.
