Presented at ICALEO 2011
A new laser focal spot analyzer system has been developed that permits the real time measurement of a high power fiber laser in excess of tens of kilowatts which can provide the lasers spatial profile, circularity, centroid, astigmatism and M-squared values using all the optics used in the process application, including the focus lens and cover glass. This novel beam analyzer system is both compact, real time and has no moving parts by incorporating an all passive optical design, the...$28.00

Rolling contact fatigue (RCF), amongst other mechanisms of wear, between railway track and train wheel ensures that periodic replacements of worn track and other key components such as switches must be undertaken. The cost associated with repairing/replacing track is significant. This places a financial...$28.00

Laser cladding with fiber laser using scanning optics is a relatively new way of laser cladding. Modern oscillating scanners enable laser power adjustment according to scanning direction. This is a versatile tool for making process more stable as well as modifying the shape of clad bead. Laser cladding was made using 5kW IPG fiber laser with ILV- oscill...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2011
The requirements on light-weight structure, structure-function integration and low-cost manufacturing have brought in a rising interest in joining of dissimilar alloys. To join the dissimilar alloys with considerable difference in melting point and metallurgical properties, an approach, namely laser penetration brazing (LPB), has been proposed. The substrate with lower melting point is penetratingly melted by the focused laser beam, and the melted me...$28.00
