Department of Mechatronics, Kwangju Institute of Science and Technology, 1 Oryong-dong Puk-gu, Kwangju 500-712, Republic of KoreaCharacteristics of laser-induced thermochemical wet etching of titanium foil in phosphoric acid were investigated to examine the feasibility of this method for direct fabrication of microstructures. Variations of etch width, depth, and profile were examined for different combinations of laser power density, scanning speed of the beam focus, and etchant concentration which are the major process parameters governing temperature distribution on the sample surface and the reaction rate. Etch width increased almost li...

LRRS, Universite´ de Bourgogne, 21078 Dijon, FrancePulsed laser cleaning has emerged as a promising technology to challenge traditional surface preparation methods. This paper introduces the PROTAL® process, which combines an in situ pulsed laser cleaning with thermal spraying techniques. This laser surface preparation avoids some drawbacks of the traditional degreasing and sand-blasting stages prior to thermal spraying, which is ...

Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V., Hollerithallee 8, D‐3000 Hannover 21, GermanyParallel to the growth of laser technology is a high interest in safety in industrial surroundings. The characteristics of hazards resulting from laser processing are complex and highly interdependent. In addition, very little fundamental scientific research on this topic exists. The Laser Zentrum Hannover e.V. (LZH) is working on a research project subsidized by the BMFT (German Federal Ministry for Research and Technology) concerning the characterization and reduction of hazardous emissions resulting ...

Universitat de Barcelona, Departament de Fi´sica Aplicada i Òptica, Marti´ i Franquès 1, E-08028 Barcelona, SpainLaser marking of architectural materials is nowadays an attractive technique for industrial and decorative applications. We report the clay brick pavers marking by vitrification with a continuous-wave Nd:YAG laser (λ=1.064 μm), at different output powers and scan speeds of the laser beam. The marked lines resulted in a dark green glassy phase. The width, depth, and cross-section area of ...

Technology Development Division, Argonne National Laboratory, Argonne, IL 60439, U.S.A.A model based on the conservation of energy for a moving heat source incident on a flat plate is used to predict the threshold laser beam irradiance required to initiate melting on a metal surface. With the use of a non‐dimensional variable and its solution, the threshold irradiance can be predicted with the use of a simple equation. This equation is a function of the absorptivity of the surface, thermal conductivity of the metal, temperature increase for melting, diameter of the laser beam at th...

Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Waterloo, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1For pulsed Nd:YAG laser spot welding applications, the development of optimum welding procedures ought to include various measures of weld size and quality, such as weld diameter, depth, surface contour and porosity. A split‐specimen technique has been developed that, despite the small size of the welds, allows such measurements to be made faster and more accurately than the traditional metallurgical technique involving sectioning, polishing and etching. In the sp...
