    A real-time, adaptive control and optimization system for laser flame cutting of thick plates of mild steel has been developed. The proposed system consists of two subsystems: a process monitoring system and a control and optimization system. The first subsystem aims at the on-line observation of the process status and corresponding cut quality. Since the different cut quality characteristics cannot ...

    Laser brazed seams are nowadays well established in automotive industry for joints which must fulfill high quality standards. Joints located in direct visible areas of the car body, like the connection between roof and side-panel or the trunk-lit, must be manufactured without any failures like pores or spilling. To achieve this goal, system technology is subject to high accuracy requests on the one hand; on the ...

    The Direct Laser Deposition (DLD) method is becoming more popular and has recently been successfully applied in commercial workshops. It is mainly used for reconditioning of worn and damages parts and eliminating them from scrap. However, DLD technique shows great potential for direct manufacture, where high accuracy, low distortion and small HAZ effects are required. Especially the high accuracy makes a challenge for DLD process control, which is permanently developing and updated fr...

    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...

    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...

    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...
