Abstract
The recoil force created by a highly focused laser or electron beam produces a keyholing effect at intensities of several kW/mm 2. Recent calculations indicated that at small beam diameters needed for true microwelding, this force may effectively cause drilling upon the onset of melting. These calculations neglected surface tension, which at radii of curvature <10 μm produces restraining forces of >1 bar. In this work we will present efforts at combining dynamic modeling which treats surface tension, validation experiments and determination of practical thresholds for very small welds.
