High-power lasers are utilized in a myriad of industrial settings. There are several key laser technologies employed for materials processing and each laser type, wavelength and architecture has its advantages and key applications where it excels. The laser, however, is only part of the story. Delivering the beam to the work piece, and monitoring both the beam characteristics, as well as the process, are important enablers for any given application.
This conference will explore high-power lasers, how they are delivered to the work piece, how they and the process are monitored, and their uses in the world of industrial materials processing. Preference will be given to "real world" industry-related submissions. Papers are solicited on a wide range of topics related to the conference title, including but not limited to the following:
Lasers and Laser Systems for Materials Processing:
- disk
- fiber
- direct diode
- CO2.
Beam Delivery:
- welding heads and accessories
- scanning heads
- cutting heads and accessories
- LMD heads and accessories
- Beam shaping methods
- thermal lensing and optics design approaches
- new optical elements and systems for lasers.
Diagnostics:
- laser-beam characterization and measurement of laser-beam parameters
- laser material interaction
- process monitoring
- vision systems and tracking
- destructive and non-destructive quality testing methods
- surface diagnostics
- coupling experiments and simulations
- high-speed imaging
- particulate diagnostics
- systems considerations.
Applications:
- welding
- remote welding
- brazing / soldering
- hybrid welding
- laser metal deposition
- hardening
- cutting
- remote cutting
- drilling
- cleaning and structuring
- rapid prototyping and manufacturing
- cladding.
JOINT SESSION WITH LA110: Laser Applications in Microelectronic and Optoelectronic Manufacturing (LAMOM) XVIII on "Laser Additive Manufacturing"
This is a forum focused on a manufacturing process that is gaining acceptance because it enables precision 3D free form fabrication of structures that are difficult to fabricate conventionally. The three elements to be discussed in this session are the specialty powders (i.e. nano/micro) used, the lasers sources that make it possible and the material processing controls required. Of special interest is research developments that push the technique to enable fabrication of graded materials, novel alloys and structures that have seamless boundaries that cross material classes (e.g. metal-insulator, insulator-plastic, metal-plastic).
