Laser shock welding process has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. Similar to explosive and magnetic welding, this process may also be used for impact welding using solid state welding principle. Impact welding is based on the influence of high-velocity collision of two base metals and generation of metallurgical atomic bonding in the solid phase at the contact area at ambient temperature. This process is also used to clad a sheet metal with a thin layer of other metal, named flyer plate. The base metal is serrated with certain angle and depth and the flyer plate is moved rapidly to collide with the base plate to generate bonding. The energy required to move the flyer plate, is produced by plasma pressure created by laser impact on the surface of
the flyer plate. The main advantage of this connection is its capability to attach two dissimilar metals in order to enhance physical, chemical, or mechanical properties on one side of a cheaper metal.Same as other welding methods, it is very important to forecast and optimize the weld quality obtained by this process. Hence, finite element method using ABAQUS software, was employed to simulate the laser welding or cladding process in this research and verified by experimental data. Impact speed, serration angle and depth are the main affecting parameters on weld quality. Therefore, multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) algorithm for a certain thickness of the flyer plate was utilized to maximize the welded area of two plates and minimize the cost of machining the base plate for making serration using the data generated by finite element analysis, linked to MATLAB for optimization of these objectives. The optimization results indicate an increase in joined area at the connection point as well as reduced number of grooves which leads to decrease in manufacturing cost.
