Figure 19

Real weld seam for copper/steel metals and the extracted keyhole and weld pool geometry for different shift distances from the initial joint plan. (a) −200 μm, (b) −100 μm, (c) 0 μm, (d) +100 μm, (e) +200 μm, (f) +300 μm, (g) +400 μm, and (h) +500 μm, where the negative shifts indicate a shift towards the copper side.
