Laser cladding based Direct Metal Deposition (DMD) has received significant attention due to its diversified potential for material processing. Numerical modeling not only helps to understand the complex physical phenomena involved in this process, it can also be used in the process prediction and system control. The evolution of temperature and velocity fields, composition profile during multiple track laser cladding observed during Direct Metal Depositi...

Laser forming has been shown effective as a non-contact bending technique for 0.15 mm thickness cantilever beams made from Neyoro G, a high-strength, high-reflectivity, high thermal conductivity material. The current work reports on efforts to extend laser forming to miniature 3-D axisymmetric shapes from similar thickness originally flat discs.

In conventional spin forming, a rotating sheet metal disk is formed over a shape...

Steel shafts can be hardened by laser using one continuous spiral track. This method however leads to a hardening zone which is not homogeneous in surface hardness and case depth. This is primarily due to the hemispherical shape of the hardening track as well as to tempering effects between two neighboring tracks of the spiral. A new method was developed to solve this problem for cylindrical shafts. The laser hardening was performed by rotating the shafts at a very high speed and by h...

Presented at ICALEO 2007

Fundamental processes in atoms, molecules, as well as condensed matter are triggered or mediated by the motion of electrons inside or between atoms. Electronic dynamics on atomic length scales tends to unfold within tens to thousands of attoseconds (1 attosecond [as] = 10-18 s). Recent breakthroughs in laser science are now opening the door to watching and controlling these hitherto inaccessible microscopic dynamics. The key to accessing the attosecond time domain is the control of ...
