    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    In recent years, some promising results about laser beam welding with forced beam oscillation were published. Characteristic feature of this technology is the purposeful beam manipulation by an oscillatory beam deflection in superposition to the commonly uniform and rectilinear feed rate of a conventional laser beam welding process. Due to the increased number of welding variables, the application of oscillation techniques offers manifol...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    The Nd:YLF/Nd:YAG laser absorptance of rough metal surfaces has been investigated using 3D ray tracing simulations on computer-generated Gaussian random rough metal surfaces. The impact of multiple scattering, shadowing and Fresnel-equation based angle dependence on the overall absorption is discussed.

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    In previous experimentation, it has been shown that laser energy incident onto a powder layer is absorbed within the layer; however, when modeling a powder based laser deposition process, it is common practice to assume surface loading only. The current work explores incorporati...

    Presented at ICALEO 2007

    In this presentation, development of innovative configurations of the hybrid laser + GMA welding process for fatigue-critical welds, high-speed welding and narrow gap welding are described. Fatigue strength, which is often of concern in fabricated steel structures, is strongly related to the final weld shape in the weld toe region. For fatigue critical welding, the hybrid laser beam focus spot was larger than normal (to prevent keyhole formation) and was loca...

    Conventionally, the majority of reinforced phases are directly added into coating materials to form reinforcement in the matrix. The interface between the particles and matrix is often a potential source of weakness owing to different thermal expansion coefficients between them. When the surface of ...

    Residual stresses are an important parameter in the process optimization of laser cladding. An important parameter in the process optimization is the residual stresses. These stresses are caused by high thermal gradients and therefore differential thermal contractions are present, as well as the different thermo mechanical properties of the joined materials. An experiment...
