Presented at PICALO 2008
Laser Solid Forming (LSF) has been considered as a significant and promising technology to fabricate functionally graded materials. A rapidly solidified binary Nickel-Titanium graded material was fabricated by a CO2 laser solid forming equipment, using argon as the protecting gas. The compositional gradient in the graded alloy was changed from pure Ni to Ni-35at.%Ti in a thin-wall sample with the height of 24 mm. The results of SEM and EDS analysis showed that a series of phase evolutions, γ dend...$28.00

The hydrodynamics evolution of the melt pool during laser Yag welding of stainless steel has been experimentally studied by using a high-speed video camera that allowed us to analyze the main characteristic parts of such melt pools. Depending on operating conditions, very different and complex hydrodynamic behaviors can be observed when the welding speed varies from typically a ...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2008
Practically, the melted bath movements induced during deep penetration laser welding can be controlled by external effects that can lead to make the flow more uniform. A technique consisting in directing an inert gas jet towards the keyhole aperture under a given angle and height of the gas delivering nozzle is used, and a laminar flow is observed. Consequently, the formation of porosities can be thus reduced, and the ob...$28.00

Presented at PICALO 2008
Laser beam welding has been used for joining zinc coated steel in the automotive industry. However, overlap laser welding of these steels is considered to be difficult because of the low boiling temperature of the zinc compared with the melting temperature of the steel. To date welding is normally undertaken when a gap is present between the plates, introduced prior to welding, or when welding with a modified laser beam configu...$28.00
