A continuous-wave Nd/YAG laser was used to weld overlap joints between H62 brass and 316?L stainless steel. Effects of laser power and welding speed on microstructure, element distribution, microhardness, and tensile shear strength were investigated. Optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS) were used to analyze the microstructure and the content of zinc in the welded joints. Microhardness test and tensile test were performed to identify the mechanical property of the obtained overlap joints. The results showed that penetration-to-width ratio, evaporation of zinc, and microhardness increase with the increase of welding heat input. The elements in stainless steel and brass had homogeneous distribution and mixing. The coarse microstructure in the fusion zone was the main factor to reduce the tensile shear force of the welded joint, which resulted in the poor mechanical properties. The suitable range of the welding heat input was 37.5?~-0?J/mm.
