The welded joints are made using a 4000 W fiber laser welding machine. The effect of laser welding speed on the pores formed in the weld seam was investigated. In this manner, it was found that with a change in laser welding speed the amount of pores formed in the structure also changed. In addition, after the welding process, macroscopic examinations, tensile tests and the hardness tests were made. As a result of the experiments performed, it was determined that, the laser welding speed was highly effective for pore formation.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessAl 6001 T6 AlloyLaser WeldingPoresWelding SpeedMechanical-PropertiesAluminum-AlloyHeat-TreatmentMicrostructureGasStrengthQualityArticle9841097962WOS:000580591700002Q3
