The supply chain within the aerospace industry is in the midst of a significant transformation. In decades past, components and assemblies were produced by a few highly vertically integrated companies. Today, the supply chain is disaggregated as components and assemblies are sourced on a global scale from an increasing number of special...$28.00

Laser drilling is able to use as an industrial process for several tens years. However, inherent factors due to laser source, material properties and dynamic of the process are still making physical understanding very difficult. Moreover mistake on measurements can be made with the established diagnostics, especially for deep holes. This paper deals with the study of holes properties drilled by laser with the HL201P from TRUMPF. It ...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
For many years applications of Q-switched lasers are widely in use like marking, engraving, material removal, drilling cutting etc. The realization of large area processing, however, like cleaning, coating removal and surface modifications is limited for two reasons: First because of the relative low average power of the lasers available so far which can not realize the required processing rates and second because of the limited pulse energy of the available laser sources t...$28.00

In laser cladding powder particles of wear and corrosion resistant materials are deposited on the workpiece and melted by the laser beam to get a strong weld joint. High temperature gradients and density changes due to phase transformations arising during cooling are responsible for the evolution of thermal stresses, which even may cause cracks and delamination. This effect becomes m...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
An important goal in the optimization of the laser cladding process is to reduce the degree of dilution. This dilution depends on process settings like scanning speed, laser power and powder mass rate. To optimize process settings width respect to the dilution, usually an expensive series of experiments is performed. Optimal p...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
The subject of the research is mechanism of melt removal and striated roughness generation. Being main obstacle limiting laser cutting process performance, these phenomena are widely discussed. Available theoretical descriptions produce no proof, as it has nothing to be verified with. High temperatures and narrowness of the kerf severely limit visual access at real facility. Observation will become possible if one wall of the kerf can be made of glass. This possibility is utilized in pre...$28.00

Reduction of Thermal Damage in FR-4 with Progressive Percussion Drilling

Presented at ICALEO 2007
Glass-epoxy circuit boards (FR-4) may be cut with carbon dioxide lasers. This process is commonly used for separating individual circuits from a larger multi-circuit panel. The cutting process, however, generates substantial amounts of carbonaceous decomposition products, resulting in charring. Charring has the potential to create unwanted conduction paths and makes the edge cosmetically unattractive. Charring may be mitigated by a multipass cutting procedure using pulses spaced apart by several times their diameter. A series of passes w...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2007
High-power laser cutting is extensively used in many industrial applications. An important weakness of this process is the formation of striations (regular lines on the cut surface), which affect the quality of the surfaces produced. The elimination of striation is thus of considerable importance, since it could open up a variety of novel high-precision applications. This study pre...$28.00
