Process for welding by laser beam or similar high-energy radiation, in which two contiguous workpieces have a coating between them, the vaporization point of which is lower than the melting point of the material of the workpieces, and in which a gas flow is directed onto the weld. To improve this process so that coated workpieces can be welded without gaps and so that gas can escape through the vapour capillaries of the weld, a current of gas which promotes degasification of the vaporized coating through the vapour capillaries of the weld is used in addition to the current of protective or working gas which flows around the weld. |
