Abstract
Free oscillations of the keyhole in penetration laser beam welding are studied theoretically with regard to characteristic frequencies, damping rates and stability at large amplitudes. The normal modes form a discrete set which may be characterized by axial and azimuthal numbers. Due to viscous damping, only the lowest modes survive many oscillation periods, which yields a limited range of frequencies for the dynamic response of the keyhole to fluctuations of external welding parameters.Keywords
