Direct welding of fused silica with femtosecond fiber laser
Development of techniques for joining and welding materials on a micrometer scale is of great importance in a number of applications, including life science, sensing, optoelectronics and MEMS packaging. In this paper, methods of welding and sealing optically transparent materials using a femtosecond fiber laser (1 MHz & 1 μm) were demonstrated which overcome the limit of small area welding of o...
متن کاملKeyhole Double-sided Arc Welding Process for Deep Narrow Penetration
In regular arc welding, the arc heat is transferred from the surface of the workpiece to melt it. In keyhole plasma arc welding, the workpiece is melted by the plasma jet which heats the wall of the keyhole along the thickness direction. Penetration is achieved with reduced heat input. However, the plasma jet only gains its energy in the arc before reaching the keyhole. In the keyhole where no ...
متن کامل4 kW Continuous Wave Fiber Laser
In recent years, the demand for the continuous wave (CW) fiber lasers of several kilowatts output power is increasing in use for metal materials processing. Fujikura group have all principal technologies required for constituting fiber lasers. We succeeded in commercializing the CW fiber laser of 4 kW output power by using those technologies. Our 4 kW CW fiber laser product has a high tolerance...
متن کاملModeling of transport phenomena in hybrid laser-MIG keyhole welding
Mathematical models and associated numerical techniques have been developed to investigate the complicated transport phenomena in spot hybrid laser-MIG keyhole welding. A continuum formulation is used to handle solid phase, liquid phase, and the mushy zone during the melting and solidification processes. The volume of fluid (VOF) method is employed to handle free surfaces, and the enthalpy meth...
متن کاملTowards 100 kW fiber laser systems
Fiber lasers are rapidly gaining market shares for industrial applications due to compactness, high electrical-to-optical efficiency, high beam quality and low running cost. However, for directed energy weapons, fiber lasers have until now been unable to meet the requirements of military, where power levels around 100 kW are aimed for through combining of multiple, high beam quality lasers. The...
