When the laser beam is scanned a temperature profile is induced in the workpiece. The temperature distribution will be a function of the beam shape and intensity profile. The use of a circular beam leads to an uneven temperature distribution even w...$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

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
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
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
It has been generally accepted that the laser beams of about 1 to 1.1 mm in wavelength, such as fiber, disk and YAG lasers have smaller interaction to the media such as plume and plasma between the optics system and the specimen than CO2 laser beam of 10.6 mm. However, we have recently found that weld bead formation is greatly affected by the state o...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2009
Laser direct metal deposition (LDMD) will only achieve its full potential as an additive manufacturing process when a connection between the process parameters used, the microstructure created and the properties of a particular metal deposit can be established. This paper addresses the development of a numerical model, using computational fluid dynamics software, to describe an existing LDMD nozzle, in terms of the interact...$28.00

The functional ceramics of Ta2O5, Ba0.5Sr1.5Na0.6K0.4Nb5O15 (BSKNN) and Sr1.86Ca0.14NaNb5O15 (SCNN) have been prepared successfully by CO2 laser sintering. The physical properties of these laser sintered ceramics are improved comparing to the traditional furnace sintered ceramics. In the present work, a finite-element model is developed to explore the process of laser sintering and the mechanism of property improvement by analyzing the temper...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2009
Industry applications of Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) technique grows from year to year. However, progress is limited by 1-step applications area, because most of the deposited layer still requires a post machining process (2-step). Machining can be done at the same laser workstation to save machining time. However, the laser optics are very sensitive to dust, moisture and thermal shock, therefore dry machini...$28.00
