    There have been considerable modeling efforts aimed at studying the thermal response and residual stresses produced during Laser Powder Deposition. However, there has been little published on quantifying the laser energy transfer during Laser Powder Deposition. The energy transfer measurement is critical for producing accurate estimate of the thermal response and residual stresses produced. An accurate energy input is required when modeling. This input is dependent on...

    Laser welding can be scaled down even to very small dimensions, where other welding techniques are not applicabel. A high processing speed, high precision, good process control and low penetration depth with deep penetration welding even at thicknesses of some 100 micron are the benefits of micro laser welding. Process developments, using pulsed and cw laser, are shown. Welding of similar and dissimilar materials like alumini...
