In the laser cutting process some well-known parameters, e.g. laser power and cutting speed, play major roles in the performance of the process. Each parameter or a combination of parameters can affect the material removal volume and cutting volume efficiency. The purpose of this research is to study the effect of power and maximum cutting speed on the material removal rate (MRR) and cutting vo...

Background and Aim: Diode laser is a great choice for soft tissue surgery. The diode laser is partially absorbed by hard dental tissues, making it safe for soft tissue surgery. This study aimed to compare the tissue thermal changes induced by three types of diode lasers at 810, 940, and 980nm wavelengths. Materials and Methods: In this in-vitro experimental study, using a diode laser device (c...

as the turbine industries need to manufacture turbine blades made of martensitic stainless steel aisi 420 with high toughness and wear resistance, local laser hardening has become more and more important. in this research, surface of the samples was initially hardened by high-power pulsed laser beam; then, optimum parameters of hardening were calculated and wear resistance of surface hardened s...

low-power lasers are a group of lasers with a power less than 250 mw and unlike high-power lasers they have no effect on tissue temperature; they produce light-dependent chemical reactions in tissues. these lasers have analgesic features with their ability to trigger reactions that reduce pain and inflammatory mediators. low-power lasers can also be used instead of needles in acupuncture to dec...

To access the green spectral range for display applications, high-power optically pumped semiconductor disk lasers (OPSDLs) in combination with second-harmonic generation have been realized. A frequency-doubled output exceeding 9.5W is achieved at a wavelength of 520 nm. The wavelength of these devices can be tuned over a rather broad range of more than 20 nm in the second-harmonic regime. In t...

low-power lasers are a group of lasers with a power less than 500 mw and unlike high-power lasers they have no effect on tissue temperature; they produce light-dependent chemical reactions in tissues. the purpose of this study was to review the clinical applications of these lasers and their success rate in different studies in orofacial pains. the articles with the key word “low level laser th...

Laser bending is an advanced process in sheet metal forming in which a laser heat source is used to shape the metal sheet. In this paper, temperature distribution in a mild steel sheet metal is investigated numerically and experimentally. Laser heat source is applied through curved paths in square sheet metal parts. Finite element (FE) simulation is performed with the ABAQUS/CAE standard softwa...
