    Laser cladding using scanning optics is a relatively little studied matter. Scanning optics makes the adjustment of laser beam interaction zone numerically possible and it is, therefore, a more flexible optical tool than the conventional static optics. A series of cladding test were conducted using a 5 kW fiber laser and an oscillating linear scanner with dynamic powder feeding to determine the process characteristics and their possibilities and limi...

    From an occupational safety point of view, the market launch of hand-held laser processing devices (HLDs) should be closely connected to machine safety qualification. In order to meet demands concerning a safe design of HLDs, research was performed to both develop and evaluate safety concepts for HLDs and to qualify technical measures for HLD laser safety. The work focused on the risk of injury especially for the skin arising from laser beam hazards by continuous-wave high-power laser systems typically use...

    Laser metal deposition (LMD) is used in industry to coat, additive manufacture, and/or repair high value metal components through deposition and laser induced melting of powder delivered in a gas stream. This study relates to the production of three-dimensional Inconel 625 components by LMD. After LMD, a dense cellular – dendritic structure containing carbides of the type MC, M23C6, and M6C has been detected by x-ray diffr...

    A novel localization scheme called laser beam scan localization by combining grid and light (laser) with mobile localization policy for wireless sensor networks is designed. The scheme utilizes a moving location assistant (LA) with a laser beam, through which the deployed area is scanned. The LA sends identities to unknown nodes to obtain the locations of sensor nodes. High localization accuracy can be achieved without the aid of expensive hardware on the sensor nodes, as required by other localization systems...

    In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of multiple-pulse thermal damage thresholds based on the Arrhenius integral damage model. We consider the dependence of thresholds on both the number of pulses and the pulse spacing and show that the trends can be understood by considering the thermal relaxation time. The biological data that exists in the multiple-pulse therma...
