Akira Matsunawa and his co-workers at the Joining and Welding Research Institute at Osaka University devised, created and exploited a series of clever, telling and relevant experiments that has provided us with information on the temperature and the formation of the keyhole in laser beam welding as well as important knowledge as to the flow of the molten pool and the formation of porosity in welds with partial penetration. They have developed a high-speed X-ray transmission observation system to reveal the keyhole, bubble and porosity formation behavior. They utilize two synchronized ultra ...$28.00

We present a complete experimental study of the analysis of the hydrodynamics evolution of the melt pool during laser Yag welding of stainless steel. The main diagnostic that has been used in this study is a high-speed video camera (10 to 30 kHz) that allowed us to analyze the main different parts that...$28.00

A 4kW CW Nd:YAG laser was used for lap welding of three different dissimilar metal combinations, namely 316L S/S - Ti64, 316L S/S - Al 5052 and Al 1200 Cu (99.85%). A welding matrix of power, travel speed and spot sizes was investigated. The welded samples were studied and evaluated by means of X-rays, stereo and optical microscopy, SEM analyses, micro-hardness testing as well as sub...$28.00

Local physical and geometrical effects which have only been observed so far as side effects in laser welding processes are to be used purposefully, in order to achieve locally adapted mechanical properties and to improve load-transferring components significantly. One aim of this project is the i...$28.00

The keyhole laser welding is the most important laser welding process for metal industry. This process utilizes the high energy density of laser beam to vaporize and melt material thus producing a keyhole to material via which the energy is brought to the material. There are various mathematical models created to explain the shape and behavior of keyhole and melt pool during welding. However, the va...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
One of the current limitations in producing bulk metallic glass components of sufficient scale for structural application is the low critical casting thickness available with current amorphous alloy systems. With laser additive manufacturing, material and heat are added incrementally, theoretically leading to the fabrication of much larger amorphous structures than currently achievable with casting alone. Recent experimental results indicate m...$28.00

Metals and plastics have been used in several industrial applications such as automobiles, electronic devices and aircrafts. Their dissimilar material joining is important in the fundamental fields of manufacturing. Therefore, we have developed a new Laser-Assisted Metal and Plastic (LAMP) joining method with YAG or diode laser, which has many advantages over the conventional...$28.00

The end of the tubes used for catheter, nozzle and/or filter must be smoothly rounded. To produce the tube, it is cut at a length and then the end is polished mechanically. However, the smaller the diameter, the more difficult it becomes to finish it. Then, a basic study on the modification of the end of thin metal tube using laser technique is conducted. Thin stainless and copper tubes of diameters be...$28.00

The effect of laser peening on fatigue strength of MIG welded joint of aluminum alloy, A5052 was investigated using a Q-switch YAG laser facility with high peak power.
The mechanism of improvement of fatigue strength was also investigated by measuring the residual stress of the specimens and the hardness change. The toes of MIG welded joint were laser peened with th...$28.00
