A process is provided for laser welding a nickel or cobalt based superalloy article to minimize cracking by preheating the entire weld area to a ductile temperature, maintaining such temperature during welding and solidification of the weld, with the welding utilizing a powder alloy feed and the speed of the laser controlled to less than 10 inches per minute.
Procédé de soudage au laser d'un article en superalliage à base de nickel ou de cobalt, permettant de réduire à un minimum la fissuration, qui consiste à chauffer préalablement la zone entière de soudure jusqu'à une température de ductilité, et à maintenir ladite température pendant le soudage et la solidification de la soudure, la soudure étant réalisée à l'aide d'une brasure sous forme d'alliage en poudre et la vitesse du laser étant régulée à moins de 10 pouces par minute.
