    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...

    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...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    A high speed video survey of melt flow within fibre laser welding keyholes has revealed a number of interesting observations about the mechanics of weld formation. Using Streak Images and 2D-FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) techniques to interpret the video results, quantitative values of fluid flow velocities down the keyhole wall have been established. The re...

    Automatic In-Process Control of Laser Metal-Wire Deposition Based on Sensor Feedback
    Authors:
    Almir Herali, University West; Trollhattan Sweden
    Anna-Karin Christiansson, University West; Trollhattan Sweden
    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    This paper describes a laser metal deposition system that is based on robotized laser welding and wire filler material. The system has been found suitable for the manufacture of simple but large shapes with high metallurgical requirements such as bosses or flanges found on aero engine components. Several benefits have been identified with the usage of wire filler compared to powderized feedstock, such as better process efficiency, higher deposition rate...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    During the last 5 years the 1µm lasers have gained significant in beam quality. But there are several industrial laser applications that are only justifiable if the system offers the flexibility of cutting with 100µm fiber and just by a software switch to move into welding, where a much larger spot size is required. Up to now such applications have been don...
