This paper gives an overview on the potentials of numerical simulations for understanding dynamics in laser material processing. After a short introduction into the model, simulation results on several processes like laser beam deep penetration welding, drilling or cutting are presented. Furthermore simulation results are compared with experimentally obtained data.

this paper was aimed to report the 3d finite element analysis simulation of laser welding process of ti6al4v 1.7 mm sheets in butt joint in order to predict the temperature distribution, hardness, and weld geometry. the butt-joint welds were made using co2 laser with the maximum power of 2.2 kw in the continuous wave mode. a part of the experimental work was carried out to verify the weld geome...

Nowadays, strong, light-weight, multi-functional, high performing products are key for achieving success in the worldwide markets. Meeting those requirements calls for enabling technologies that lead to innovative and sustainable manufacturing [1]. A joint technique is one or a combination of the available mechanical, chemical, thermal processes to create a bond between materials with a number ...

The wide range of available wavelengths, high brightness and increasing reliability are breaking new ground for diode lasers. Material processing with high power diode lasers in industrial manufacturing is getting more and more important. In automotive, medical device and also solar cell production they are important tools for automated production. Closed-loop temperature control by integrated ...

Laser assisted skin wound closure offers many distinct advantages over conventional closure techniques. The objective of this in vitro experimental study, carried out at the Institute of Laser for Postgraduate Studies/Baghdad University, was to determine the effectiveness of 980 nm diode laser in welding of human skin wounds. Multiple 3-4 cm long full thickness incisions in a specimen of human ...
