Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) has been utilized for in situ diagnostics of the laser welding process. The influence of different weld spot areas (melt pool, solid weld) on LIBS signals and plasma properties has been studied in detail. Liquid metal sampling and high target surface temperature of the melt enhance LIBS plasma intensity and increase plasma temperature. The influence of laser welding process parameters on LIBS measurements has been studied in order to differentiate optimal and defective laser welding. In case
