Presented at PICALO 2006
Many polymers need to be joined allowing complex shapes to be processed, and welding is one process that may be employed. Transmission laser welding of thermoplastic polymers is a well established process, and is often used. To ensure that the weld occurs between the layers of plastic it is necessary for one of the plastics to be transmissive to laser light and the other to absorb the laser energy, to ensure that the beam focuses on the joint region. The traditional method has been to load the lower component wi...$28.00

In the automotive industries, one of the main issues is to reduce the weight of structures for saving fuel consumption, prevention of air pollution and improvement of performance. For this purpose, many efforts have been tried to substitute standard material of car body by using light metal alloys. Therefore, technical and economical needs for joining of dissimilar metals by joini...$28.00

Laser Cladding and Laser-induced Foaming of Titanium for Biomedical Applications
Authors:
Gerrit Hohenhoff, Laser Zentrum Hannover E.V.; Hannover Germany
Presented at PICALO 2006High specific strength, low density and excellent corrosion resistance are three of the outstanding properties of titanium. Because of these properties titanium has found a wide range of application. Because of its low density and high absorbance for kinetic energy cellular structures also have an increasing potential for application. Up to now especially foaming of complex devices shows the limitations of conventional foaming processes. Rapid manufacturing is used to build up individual objects for special applications. Because of the individuality of creatures individual prostheses should be used to replace defective human joints. For a long durability the implants have to be adapted macroscopically to the elasticity of human bone. To build up such prostheses the three upcoming technologies have to be combined. In a laser cladding process a massive titanium structure will be built up to a scaffold and filled with titanium foam induced by laser beam. To foam the titanium by laser beam a blowing agent has to be added to the titanium powder. With the combination of laser cladding and laser-induced foaming in a rapid prototyping process the rapid manufacturing of individual prostheses with adapted elasticity can be realized.
