Laser beam welding is a commonly used technology for joining similar and dissimilar materials. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the weld, the introduction of ultrasonic vibration into the weld zone has been ...

Due to the enormous potential of weight saving, and the consequential reduction of pollutant emissions, the use of hybrid components made of steel and aluminum alloys is increasing steadily, especially concerning automotive ...

This Letter reports the experimental realization of a novel, to the best of our knowledge, active power stabilization scheme in which laser power fluctuations are sensed via the radiation pressure driven motion they induce ...

Through the striving of humanity into space, new production processes and technologies for the use under microgravity will be essential in the future. Production of objects in space demands for new processes, like additive ...

A new family of lighting products is developed as laser diodes replace LEDs in the remote phosphor configuration. The resulting lighting systems, also known as laser-excited remote phosphor systems, exhibit advanced ...

With the intention to develop a robot based laser cutting process for automotive 3D parts with varying thickness consisting of carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRP), strategies of 2D investigations were adapted. The used ...

Presently, fiber reinforced materials are used for many industrial applications. Laser transmission welding (LTW) is a suitable method to join these materials. For multiple thermoplastics, the weld seam quality is affected ...
