    Presented at ICALEO 2009

    Surface treatment of Si3N4 and ZrO2 engineering ceramics with a CO2 laser and a fibre laser was conducted to identify changes in the fracture toughness (K1c). Vickers macro hardness indentation tests were employed prior to and after the laser treatment to investigate the near surface changes in the hardness of the engineering ceramics. Optical microscopy was then used to observe the near surface integrity, crack lengths and crack geometry within the engineering ceramics....

    Although CO2 lasers have been shown to be capable of modifying the wettability of polymeric materials, it is known that the CO2 laser induced wettability modifications of these materials can degrade over time. This can be seen to be crucial from a commercial point of view as this would indicate that a shelf-life has to be establis...

  • ICALEO 2009 Paper #1910 (FOCAL SHIFT MONITORING AND COGNITIVE CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL BY ANALYSIS OF CO-AXIAL VIDEO DATA)

    FOCAL SHIFT MONITORING AND COGNITIVE CLOSED-LOOP CONTROL BY ANALYSIS OF CO-AXIAL VIDEO DATA

    Presented at ICALEO 2009

    Most laser welding heads offer the ability to connect a co-axial camera, using the same focusing lenses as the laser beam. Thus, the focal shift induced by heating the lenses and thus influencing the laser beam, alters the video data acquired. In the proposed approach, the sharpness of the video data is used to monitor the focal shift and distance changes relative ...

    Presented at ICALEO 2009

    One of the important parameters in laser powder deposition process is the deposition path pattern that affects final quality of the deposited material. In this study, a finite element method is used to model the thermal and structural behavior of the laser powder deposition process. An area is defined to be covered with AISI H13 powder with three different deposition patterns: one-section, two-section, and three-section. The two-section pattern divides th...

    Presented at ICALEO 2009

    Selective laser sintering (SLS) of metal powders is an attractive Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing (RPM) technology which can be used to produce three-dimensional metal parts directly from a CAD model. In the process, the substrates are commonly used for avoiding the balling effect in powder melting and dislocation of sintered part. A three-dimensional finite element thermal model in SLS of metal powder including t...
