Laser Submerged Arc Welding (LUPuS) with Solid State Lasers

Submerged Arc Welding: A Review

In industries and research organizations most widely used welding methods are shield metal arc welding (SMAW), gas metal arc welding (GMAW), gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and submerged arc welding (SAW). The SAW process is often preferred because it offers high production rate, high melting efficiency, ease of automation and low operator skill requirement. This review will be very helpful for...

Thermaltransport Phenomenon of Submerged Arc Welding Process

Original scientific paper In present work, thermal transport considering heat radiation by oval heat source shape and heat transfer of molten moving electrode was presented. In present paper, an analytical solution was presented by aggregating temperature increments caused by applying liquid metal and heat radiation of moving electrode. The assumptions for the study were heat source of temperat...

Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding

Diode laser--pumped solid-state lasers.

Diode laser-pumped solid-state lasers are efficient, compact, all solid-state sources of coherent optical radiation. Major advances in solid-state laser technology have historically been preceded by advances in pumping technology. The helical flash lamps used to pump early ruby lasers were superseded by the linear flash lamp and arc lamp now used to pump neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet ...
