Effects of temperature gradient magnitude on bending angle in laser forming process of aluminium alloy sheets
Laser forming is a thermal forming process which uses laser beam irradiation to produce the desired final forms. In this article, the effect of temperature gradient across Al 6061-T6 aluminum sheets on bending angle is studied. Input parameters including laser power, scan velocity, beam diameter, and sheet thickness are the effective process parameters which influence the temperature gradient....
متن کاملPrediction of Bending Angle for Laser Forming of Tailor Machined Blanks by Neural Network
Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness variations that is referred as tailor machined blanks. Due to the thickness variation in tailor machined blanks, laser bending of these blanks is more complicated than monolithic plates. In this article, laser formin...
متن کاملSubwavelength light bending by metal slit structures.
We discuss how light can be efficiently bent by nanoscale-width slit waveguides in metals. The discussion is based on accurate numerical solutions of Maxwell's equations. Our results, using a realistic model for silver at optical wavelengths, show that good right-angle bending transmission can be achieved for wavelengths lambda> 600 nm. An approximate stop-band at lower wavelengths also occurs,...
متن کاملA novel method for laser forming of two-step bending of a dome shaped part
In recent decades, one of the challenges in sheet metal forming was production of two-step bending surfaces without mechanical tools and external force or by a combination of heat source and mechanical tools. Forming with a heat source such as laser beam has the potential for forming arbitrary 3D shapes such as two-step bending surfaces. In this paper a novel method for laser forming of complic...
متن کاملA three dimensional model for direct laser metal powder deposition and rapid prototyping
A three-dimensional model for direct laser metal powder deposition process and rapid prototyping is developed. Both numerical and analytical models are addressed. In the case of numerical modeling, the capabilities of ANSYS parametric design language were employed. The model calculates transient temperature profiles, dimensions of the fusion zone and residual stresses. Model simulations are com...
