In an experimental study of laser sheet bending, a 160W diode laser is used for twodimensional sheet bending of low-carbon steel. The variables investigated include metal sheet thickness, laser scan speed, laser power, laser beam width, and laser scan pass number. Bend surface appearances are also analysed. The laser sheet bend results demonstrate that a 940Nm diode laser is an effective tool f...

Traditional low-carbon steels provide the strength needed to satisfy industrial demands. Low-carbon steel’s poor corrosion resistance is one of its main drawbacks. Due this restriction, corrosion-resistant materials such as super duplex stainless are frequently used for cladding onto surface steel. The cladded possesses superior chloride stress cracking resistance, pitting and crevice yield str...
