Abstract
Numerical simulation of unsteady processes proceeding during the laser welding of plates made of porous and monolithic (non-porous) metals was carried out. The influence of the welding speed on the quality of resultant welded joints and seam morphology was studied. The calculated characteristics of connections between porous and monolithic stainless-steel plates are in qualitative agreement with the results of physical experiments.
