Presented at ICALEO 2009
Inert-gas laser beam fusion cutting is an established thermal cutting technology for stainless and other high-alloyed steels. At the present time, CO2 lasers are particularly applied for corresponding cutting applications but the nowadays available solid-state disk and fiber lasers seems to be an attractive alternative as efficient cutting heat sources due to their advantages in power efficiency, beam guidance and beam quality. It is consequently anticipated that dis...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2009
A new monitoring configuration for fiber lasers (FLs) welding processes is proposed in which optical emissions from the welding pool are directly observed through the optical combiner of the FL source with spectroscopic equipment and fast photodiodes. This solution, referred as T.O.C. (Through the Optical Combiner) monitoring, can be easily installed on all FL sources in which an optical combiner is present. As a case study, T.O.C. monitoring in 1 kW cw FL weldi...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2009
High-strength steels are being found of great applications in different industries because of their high strength-to-weight ratio. In order to achieve a high quality weld with full weld penetration during the laser welding process of the high strength steel, acoustic monitoring based on a microphone is applied to sense the weld penetration in this study. To overcome the obstacle posed by intensive background noise, a noise reduction method called ...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2009
The principle of optical emission spectroscopy is studied to detect laser welding defects. Several welding experiments with galvanized steel sheets were conducted using the CO2 laser for the quality monitoring, under the several worst cases which can easily occur in manufacturing environments. In order to simulate the welding defects such as underfill and bead separation, spacers with different thickness are fed in both ends of lab joint configurations. The gap effects from no gap to 0.5mm between the lap ...$28.00

The thermal deformation of the metal is very important factor for the laser welding technology. For a highly accurate welding with sheet metal by the laser, it is necessary to understand the distortion caused by laser processing to a highly accurate welding. At the first, to clarify the deformation values quantitatively when the laser welding of sheet metal, bead on plate by the moving heat source with continuous wave oscillations on the plate was done. It is considered the standard to know the deformation of laser welding. By using...$28.00

Absorption varies quite a lot in laser welding. Accurate measurement of absorption in laser welding is also a challenging problem. Usually a calorimeter is commonly employed for measuring absorption. In this paper an alternative approach is presented for measuring absorption in laser welding of lean duplex LDX2101 and austenitic stainless steels of type 301 LN and 316 L based on the temperature distribution in the heat...$28.00
