    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    This paper describes a numerical model for embedding of fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors in metallic structures using laser solid freeform fabrication technique. For the characterization of the embedding process, a finite element model is developed for both static and dynamic conditions. The modeling consists of two steps: 1.Development of an engineered protective layer around the fiber optic to...

    Plexiglas burn-ins have been the standard for raw beam analysis of CO2-lasers for a long time. Different beam diameter definitions have been established based on the mechanical dimensions of these Plexiglas burn-ins, usually derived from the diameter at a certain threshold (e. g. full width at 50% or 30% maximum height). These definitions are widely used, especially for service applications, but also in science and engi...

    The Effects of Laser Forming on Superelastic NiTi Shape Memory Alloys

    Andrew J. Birnbaum, Columbia University; New York NY USA
    Y. Lawrence Yao, Columbia University; New York NY USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    This work focuses on application of the laser forming process to NiTi shape memory alloys. While all NiTi shape memory alloys exhibit both superlasticity and the shape memory effect, this study is restricted to a temperature range over which only the superelastic effect will be active. Specifically, this work addresses laser forming induced macroscopic bending deformations, post process residual stress distributions and changes in microstructure. Like traditional ferr...

    Laser drilling of metals is widely used to manufacture turbine components (Ni-alloys), microfilters and combustion nozzles (Fe-alloys) at high productivity. However, there are gaps in understanding the productivity of drilling and its relation to product quality. In particular, taper and microstructure suffer from recast and crack formation. Advances in fundamental physical modelling and di...

    Laser Drilling of PET-backed Unfired Ceramic

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    Thin (50 to 100 micron) ceramic spacers for multi-layered electronic devices such as flash RAM require large numbers of small via holes drilled in them to perform their function. The preferred hole diameter is currently in the range of 100 microns but is expected to become smaller. These ceramics may be easily drilled prior to firing. So called "green" ceramic is comprised of fine refractory particles in an organic binder. The binder, which burns off during firing, gives the material the consistency of a weak flexible tape. Sheets of green ceramic, consequent...

    Rob Janoch, Evergreen Solar, Inc.; Marlboro MA USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    To reduce the cost of its String Ribbon © solar panels, Evergreen Solar has developed automated laser cutting equipment that enables cutting silicon ribbon into wafers as it emerges from the growth furnaces. The laser source was chosen based on its ability to produce microcrack-free cuts that result in high yield wafers. The system functional requirements are reviewed, and the design philosophy and design features are discussed. System implementation issues and its current status are presented.

    In the laser processes such as laser welding and heat surface treatment, the absorption factor of laser Nd: YAG by metals plays an important role. Its evolution depends on many parameters such as temperature or surface conditions. In this paper, we present a method based on the measurement of reflected energy during the laser process, carried...

    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    To reach the objective of reducing welding distortions, the Nd : YAG pulsed laser is mainly used in the laboratory. But for low melting point materials such as a lead alloy, a lot of molten pool instabilities can occur during laser/matter interaction. Actually, a porosity previously trapped in a solidified fusion zone can explode when it is partially melted by the next laser pulse. To avoid this phenomenon, a fiber (400 µm) coupled CW diode laser (500 W) is tested. To reduce equatorial shrinkage, ...

    Fabrication of Fe-Based Bulk Metallic Glass Components Using Laser Additive Manufacturing
    Authors:
    Shawn Kelly, ARL, The Penn State University; State College PA USA
    Presented at ICALEO 2006

    One of the current limitations in producing bulk metallic glass components of sufficient scale for structural application is the low critical casting thickness available with current amorphous alloy systems. Currently, iron-based glass forming alloys (Fe48Cr15Mo14Y2C15B6) can be cast into fully amorphous ingots approximately 12mm in diameter. With laser additive manufacturing, material and heat are added incrementally, theoretically leading to the fabrication of much larger amorphous structures than curren...
