  • Patent number: 9186753
    Abstract: A back-shielded welding method according to the present invention includes communicating a front surface-side and a back surface-side of two welding base materials (2, 3) with each other in the welding base materials (2, 3) that abut against each other; forming notched portions (21, 22) in abutting edge portions (15, 16) of two welding base materials (2, 3) in such a manner that a slit-shaped gas supply opening (17) is formed to extend along a forming direction of a welding bead; forming the gas supply opening (17) with the notched portions (21, 22) by abutting the abutting edge portions (15, 16) of the welding base materials (2, 3) against each other and temporarily fixing the abutting edge portions (15, 16); and forming the welding bead while supplying an inert gas via the gas supply opening (17), and blocking the gas supply opening (17) by the welding bead.

  • Patent number: 5097110
    Abstract: The known reflecting mirror for a laser beam conisting of a mirror base member and a high-reflectivity metal coating layer formed on the mirror base member for reflecting a laser beam, is improved so as to maintain a high mirror reflectivity without necessitating a cooling facility. The improvements reside in that a coating layer having a small diffusion coefficient is provided on the back surface side of the high-reflectivity metal coating layer, and/or in that at least one layer of dielectric coating layer or layers are provided on the surface of the high reflectivity metal coating layer.
