    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    Cutting is one of the major laser applications which is extensively used nowadays due to its flexibility, accuracy and non-mechanical contact between laser beam and workpiece. Despite numerous experimental and theoretical investigations on dross and striations formation, which are significant factors influencing laser cutting quality, the understanding of these mechanisms leaves much to be desired. Modeling of laser cutting process can shed light on th...

    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    We studied metal drilling characteristics using Q-switched CO2 laser with the average output power of 1kW. A rotating chopper inserted in the cavity realized the Q-switch operation. The pulse repetition rate of the laser is as high as tens of kHz. The temporal waveform of the pulse is comprised of high-peak spike at the ve...

  • ICALEO 2005 Paper #203 (Application a High Brightness Yb Fibre Laser In High Speed Cutting of C-Mn Sheet Steel)

    Application a High Brightness Yb Fibre Laser In High Speed Cutting of C-Mn Sheet Steel
    Authors:

    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    Previous work using high quality CO2 lasers have shown high levels of performance when cutting thin section steels in the range 0.5-1.0mm. However, the use of the CO2 lasers is compromised as a result of the reduced operating window produced by the need for short-focal length lenses and the deleterious development of intense plasma in the cutting zone. It is thought that the application of a high power Yb fibre laser could offer substantial physical benefits such as l...

    Chemistry in Laser Material Processing

    Wolfgang Danzer, Linde Gas AG; Unterschleissheim Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2005

    High-speed film technique has been used to examine laser cutting and to understand the difference to oxy-fuel cutting. Chemical reactions during ignition phase of the cutting process are different as can be seen from the films resulting in different speeds. Also in laser welding chemical reactions steer processing speed and performance. Active substancies clearly affect the surface tensions and melt flow direction in laser welding of steel. In laser welding of aluminium ,in contrast, oxygen is not beneficial and molten aluminium oxides are pushed aside by the laser ...
