    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. With laser additive manufacturing, material and heat are added incrementally, theoretically leading to the fabrication of much larger amorphous structures than currently achievable with casting alone. Recent experimental results indicate m...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    The keyhole laser welding is the most important laser welding process for metal industry. This process utilizes the high energy density of laser beam to vaporize and melt material thus producing a keyhole to material via which the energy is brought to the material. There are various mathematical models created to explain the shape and behavior of keyhole and melt pool during welding. However, the va...

    Local physical and geometrical effects which have only been observed so far as side effects in laser welding processes are to be used purposefully, in order to achieve locally adapted mechanical properties and to improve load-transferring components significantly. One aim of this project is the i...

    A 4kW CW Nd:YAG laser was used for lap welding of three different dissimilar metal combinations, namely 316L S/S - Ti64, 316L S/S - Al 5052 and Al 1200 Cu (99.85%). A welding matrix of power, travel speed and spot sizes was investigated. The welded samples were studied and evaluated by means of X-rays, stereo and optical microscopy, SEM analyses, micro-hardness testing as well as sub...

    We present a complete experimental study of the analysis of the hydrodynamics evolution of the melt pool during laser Yag welding of stainless steel. The main diagnostic that has been used in this study is a high-speed video camera (10 to 30 kHz) that allowed us to analyze the main different parts that...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    Akira Matsunawa and his co-workers at the Joining and Welding Research Institute at Osaka University devised, created and exploited a series of clever, telling and relevant experiments that has provided us with information on the temperature and the formation of the keyhole in laser beam welding as well as important knowledge as to the flow of the molten pool and the formation of porosity in welds with partial penetration. They have developed a high-speed X-ray transmission observation system to reveal the keyhole, bubble and porosity formation behavior. They utilize two synchronized ultra ...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    Among his various contributions in the domain of laser processing of materials, the laser community agrees to recognize that Prof. A Matsunawa has been a leading contributor to the understanding of the laser welding process since more than 25 years. It is interesting to note that his contribution to this field was realized in conjunction with the constant development of the ICALEO Conference during the same period, where he made his main presentations of scientific results during a continuous and regular participatio...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    I started my research at Welding Research Institute (WRI) of Osaka University, Japan in 1977 where I was working with Prof. Yoshiaki Arata (then the director of WRI) until 1978. Just that year Prof. Akira Matsunawa from Welding Department of the same university has joined the WRI. Thus I got aquainted with Akira from that time. Later we had few chances to meet and to get more familiar with each other. We were working on different projects. He had been deeply involved in studying welding process with CO2 laser and especially in under...
