The simulation results show that the formation of porosity in the weld is caused by two competing mechanisms: one is the solidification rate of the molten metal and the other is the speed that molten metal backfills the keyhole after laser energy is terminated. The models have demonstrated that porosity can be reduced or eliminated by adding filler metals, controlling laser tailing power, or applying an electromagnetic force during keyhole collapse process. It is found that a uniform composition of weld pool is difficult to achieve by filler metals due to very rapid solidification of the weld pool in laser welding, as compared to that in gas metal arc welding.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126634153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The weld thickness of Al alloy plates reached 4 mm with 3 kW CO2 laser average output power. Microhardness and tensile tests showed that for some Al alloys, mechanical properties of the welds could be near or equal to base material with the artificial keyhole technique and suitable processing parameters.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121710313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application of two focal spots arranged close to each other offers advantages concerning process stability and quality, which is a result of a more stable keyhole geometry respectively of modified energy coupling and fluid dynamic conditions. The opportunity of designing a task-adapted intensity distribution opens possibilities for the bridging of gaps and the shaping of the weld seam geometry which means an increase of flexibility. This contribution will discuss the joining process and will show the connection between spot distance and intensity distribution on one hand and the welding result -- depth, efficiency and quality -- on the other hand.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121764379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Validity of analysis method was verified by comparing with experimental results. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) Proportionality between latent heat of evaporation and absorptivity can be obtained using the experimental results of removal quantity when resin is thick enough. These values can be estimated simultaneously by comparing analytical results by FEM and experimental results. (2) An equation for rough estimate of maximum removal velocity was derived. (3) Removal quantity is proportional to the number of shots, but its proportionality is lost after layer thickness reaches to absorption length, yielding smear in practical use. Residual smear is caused by heat conduction to substrate during pulse. (4) Removal quantity depends on fluence most, but hardly depends on repetition rate. When resin thickness is larger than absorption length, removal quantity per pulse is proportional to fluence. (5) Removal velocity becomes larger with shorter pulse width. When resin thickness is smaller than absorption length, residual thickness increases as pulse width becomes long.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"69 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127124351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It employs a diffractive/refractive hybrid lens which has a blazed surface-relief microstructure on an aspheric surface. By introducing that hybrid lens for CO2 laser system, and by stopping the use of germanium that is optically much sensitive to temperature, the f-theta lens that consists of all zinc selenide lenses is obtained with its optical performance stable on temperature. Achromatic properties against the wavelength fluctuations of actual lasers are also achieved. A prototype is fabricated through the development of single point diamond turning of hybrid surfaces. The performance of the lens is first examined by measuring wavefront error with a tunable infrared interferometer. The results show diffraction-limited performance at all conditions, including different temperatures (up to 50°C) and wavelengths. The temperature dependence of the focal length of the lens is also measured and found to be 5 times as insensitive to temperature as that of a conventional one. Laser drilling experiments are performed for a polymide film on copper foil. The result shows good uniformity of hole size and circularity all over the 50×50 mm2 scan field.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128387342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We made comparisons with each fluence for ablating ITO layer on substrate glass, and observed surface of the glass and edge of groove formed by laser etching. Near the groove, much debris was deposited. So we examined the effects of various sealed gases having molecular weight (e.g. He, N2, Ar). The amount of debris was reduced by only He gas. Additionally we measured index of absorption by ITO and substrate glass for lights. The range for wavelengths was swept from ultraviolet to infrared. In conclusion, we recognized that the removal of ITO was more efficient with increase of absorption of lights.","PeriodicalId":159280,"journal":{"name":"International Congress on Laser Advanced Materials Processing","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128594219","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
