Presented at ICALEO 2006
A laser joining process employing a Nd:YAG laser source, a cold wire feeder and a six axes robot has been developed to produce steel to aluminum transition joints. To obtain good strength, it is critical to minimize the formation of intermetallic phases at the joint. This has been achieved by a careful manipulation of the laser power and the laser beam position. This enabled the steel to be kept in a solid ...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
A 2kW Ytterbium fiber laser, YLR-2000, was used for welding of 780MPa grade high strength steel-WEL-TEN780RE. The WEL-TEN780RE steel is a kind of heat rolled, fine microstructure low carbon high strength steel used for welded constructions. The effects of defocusing distance, welding speed, shielding gas and its flow rate on cross section bead shape and penetration were studied in continue wave laser beam welding. The effects of frequency and duty c...$28.00

Inconel 625 is nickel-based supper alloy used in different jet engines for its high corrosion resistance. Laser welding of combustor part of jet engine to replace the existing procedure is a major area of research and development. The specification of this manufacturing process requires the weld to be hermetic sealed. The use of fiber laser and the study of the effect of laser welding par...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
Laser consolidation (LC) is a computer-aided manufacturing process that builds a functional net-shape part directly from a CAD model, without the use of moulds or dies. The folded shell projector (FSP) is a compact flextensional underwater sound projector developed by DRDC-Atlantic for low frequency sonar applications. The radiating surface of the FSP is a thin-walled shell of complex shape that challenges conventional manuf...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
Fiber lasers have been gaining ground rapidly in the recent years for material processing applications. A host of applications currently employed with other laser technologies have shifted focus to this very fast emerging technology. While the technology is being familiarized and accepted in the industry, there is limited data and summary of industrial applications of fiber lasers. In this review, an outline of numerous such applications with ytterbium lasers under 1KW is discussed and case studies are presented. Applications and laser...$28.00
