    Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) is an emerging technology which shows great potential for direct manufacture. The DLD method has become viable for the build up of three-dimensional parts, their repair or modification, as a means of rapid prototyping and tooling of metallic components. However, compositional monitoring of the DLD process is still requires investigat...

    James Sears, South Dakota School of Mines & Technology; Rapid City SD USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    There have been considerable modeling efforts aimed at studying the thermal response and residual stresses produced during Laser Powder Deposition. However, there has been little published on quantifying the laser energy transfer during Laser Powder Deposition. The energy transfer measurement is critical for producing accurate estimate of the thermal response and residual stresses produced. An accurate energy input is required when modeling. This input is dependent on...

    Laser welding can be scaled down even to very small dimensions, where other welding techniques are not applicabel. A high processing speed, high precision, good process control and low penetration depth with deep penetration welding even at thicknesses of some 100 micron are the benefits of micro laser welding. Process developments, using pulsed and cw laser, are shown. Welding of similar and dissimilar materials like alumini...
