Presented at ICALEO 2008
CO2 lasers can be seen to lend themselves to materials processing applications. These types of lasers have been used extensively in research and industry with the work carried out being well documented. This work investigated the surface modification of nylon 6,6 with a laser in order to vary wettability characteristics. The wettability characteristics of the nylon 6,6 were modified by generating a number of patter...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2008
Sputter deposition was used to deposit amorphous, 1μm thick, Ti-rich NiTi films on silicon substrates which were annealed at various times and temperatures to alter their microstructure. The effects of heat treatments on the shape memory and mechanical properties of the films were analysed through temperature dependent x-ray diffraction and nanoindentation. These heat treatments were shown to affect th...$28.00

In this study, the feasibility of laser shock peening using ultrafast laser pulses was experimentally investigated. A top coating of zinc with a water confining layer was applied in the investigation. The zinc coating was used for the thermo-protective effect, and also for in-situ investigation on the feasibility of laser microwelding using femtosecond laser pulses. A high numerical aperture aspheric lens w...$28.00

This work presents the technique suitable for the determination of the linear electro-optic effect tensor components in crystal materials of any symmetry. The method is based on the Michelson interferometer where the sample being studied is set into the one of its arms to measure the electro-induced changes of the optical path. We describe in detai...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2008
Surface scabbling of concrete by laser processing has been demonstrated in the literature for large-area problems (~50 mm wide x 10 deep) using physically large, high-power consumption, multi-kW CW laser systems. With large spot diameters (~50 mm) and low power densities (~ 300 W/cm2), large volume thermal stresses are induced which promote concrete cracking. This process is highly power-density and heat-input (J/m) dependent. Too high power densities cause melting and generate pot...$28.00
