    Abstract: An oscillating laser welding with filler wires for jointing aluminum alloy sheets with a large gap therebetween, including the following steps: providing two aluminum alloy sheets first, and reserving a gap (2) and keeping the gap with a constant width between opposite surfaces of the two aluminum alloy sheets to be jointed; providing a laser welding head (1), a wire feeding nozzle (3), and a protective gas nozzle (4) above the gap; presetting a welding start guiding plate (5) at a welding starting end of the gap, forming a molten pool on the welding start guiding plate by a laser beam, and guiding the molten pool to the welding starting end of the gap; and enabling the wire feeding nozzle and the laser welding head to correspond to the gap and travel in the same direction. The aluminum alloy welding wires fill the whole gap after being heated and molten by the laser beam, and the welding of the two aluminum alloy sheets is completed. The melting amount of the aluminum alloy sheets by the laser beam can be reduced as much as possible, so that a dilution rate of a welding joint and generation of a metallurgical reaction brittle phase can be reduced, and the porosity of the joint can further be reduced. Welding of conventional aluminum alloys, aluminum matrix composite materials, and additive-manufactured aluminum alloy sheets can be realized.
