In order to develop high strength and high airproof gas generator of automobile safety airbag,
an new type transverse flow CO2 laser and welding system were prepared,
whose mode was TEM00+TEM01 and whose most power was 3000W.Three-directional beam delivery welding system improves laser imposing time from 40% of one-directional beam delivery welding system to 90.9%.The laser welding technology of stainless steel gas generator body was investigated.The results show that the airproof strength of stainless steel gas generator body is
72.5~75MPa, the crazing position locates both body and welding bead,the welding strength is close to limit-strength of the material and exceeds 45MPa of requested airproof strength of gas generator body.The actual increasing temperature of the body away from welding bead 10mm does not reach 120℃, which satisfies the demand of body welding filling with gas generating products.
