    Due to their unique design, fiber lasers offer new possibilities in the field of laser welding. Especially their higher focusability is known to allow narrow and deep welds which help to increase weld performance and reduce heat input. But, as such beam sources are not yet common in industrial environments, their possibilities and main application fields are neither widely known nor fully assessed. Therefore typical weld parameters and applica...

    When using a fiber laser for the processing of copper or other high reflecting materials we have to take care of the back reflection. If we used a polarized laser with wave lengths in the range of 1 µm, it would be relatively easy to build up an optical diode to block optical feedbacks by using the Farrady isolator (rotator) or the Lambda/4 window. That system can also be used in orde...

    A systematic research on the capability of the laser surface cladding by a fibre laser assisted by pneumatic powder injection in order to coat stainless steel by a thin hard layer was carried out.
    The high quality of the monomode fibre laser beam allowed us to produce clads with a ...

    Laser cutting machines with linear motor drives provide high contour accuracy and high cutting rates. Thus laser beam cutting has become increasingly competitive compared to mechanical precision cutting [1]. Since the several years, new laser beam sources are available for cutting. One of the promising solutions is cutting with fiber las...

    Newest developments in diode pumped solid state lasers brought up thin disk- and fibre lasers with beam qualities in the range of M² = 10 to M² = 1 at an output power of up to 2 kW. To achieve the appropriate power density distribu-tion for material processing, the laser beam has to be transformed by a lens system. When using...

    What is the Best Choice for Laser Material Processing- Rod, Disk, Slab or Fiber?
    Authors:
    Erwin Steiger, Erwin Steiger LaserService; Maisach Germany
    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    Laser material processing for industrial manufacturing applications is today a widely spread procedure for welding, cutting, marking and micro-machining. With the invent of new and alternative laser sources like the fiber laser discussions have emerged which of the solid-state laser systems - rod, disk, slab or fiber - is the best suited for all the known laser procedures. It will be shown on selected laser processed examples that the laser source itself is often not the decisive part for the final results. Material propert...

    Nickel Titanium alloys are a unique class of materials which exhibit shape memory and superelastic properties. The interest in this material for medical applications, such as surgical implants, has been steadily growing in recent years. In the present study, NiTi (55%Ni-45%Ti) SMA were surface alloyed with molybdenum using a continuous wave Nd-YAG la...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    Plasma sprayed chromium oxide coatings have been widely used due to their high corrosion and wear resistance. Although plasma spray process is economical to produce coatings due to higher deposition rates, the coatings are inherently porous and lack metallurgical bonding with the substrate. The focus of this work is to investigate the feasibility as well as characterize the resulting...
