Abstract

See full text

A method for healing surface irregularities in a weld joint includes generating a healing energy beam by a focused energy device, where the healing energy beam includes a predefined energy density. The method also includes scanning the healing energy beam along at least a portion of a periphery of the weld joint, where the weld joint includes at least an upper layer and a lower layer. The method also includes melting less than half a thickness of the upper layer of the weld joint. The predefined energy density of the healing energy beam is based on the thickness of the upper layer of the weld joint.
