Finite element analysis of spot laser of steel welding temperature history

Abstract

Laser welding process reduces the heat input to the work-piece which is the main goal in aerospace and electronics industries. A finite element model for axi-symmetric transient heat conduction has been used to predict temperature distribution through a steel cylinder subjected to CW laser beam of rectangular beam profile. Many numerical improvements had been used to reduce time of calculation and size of the program so as to achieve the task with minimum time required. An experimental determined absorptivity has been used to determine heat induced when laser interact with material. The heat affected zone and welding zone have been estimated to determine the effect of welding on material. The ratio of depth to width of the welding zone can be changed by proper selection of beam power to meet the specific production requirement. The temperature history obtained numerically has been compared with experimental data indicating good agreement.

Preparation of Gold Nanoparticles Doped Zinc Oxide Using Reactive Pulsed Laser Ablation in Liquid

“…In liquid mediums, pulsed laser ablation (PLAL) is becoming a more popular method for creating colloidal suspensions with unique functional features [6,7]. The most important is pulse laser ablation in liquid (PLAL), which has no solvent contamination and can create a rather homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles [8][9][10]. The creation of metallic nanoparticles (NPs), particularly gold and silver, has sparked a lot of attention because of their surface plasmon resonance capabilities, which could be valuable in biological applications [11][12][13].…”

Fiber Optics for Sensing Applications in a Review

“…It allows for the detection of biological molecules in a small, label-free, extremely sensitive, and stable manner. [10,[20][21][22]. The resonance of free-electron waves in a metal causes Localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), which is a phenomenon in metallic nanostructures.…”

Three-dimensional FTn finite volume solution of short-pulse laser propagation through heterogeneous medium

“…The study of short-pulse laser propagation through scattering and participating medium has received significant recent interest [1][2][3][4]. This technique is used in the processing of treatment of metallic materials [1], microstructures [2], laser surgery [3], and photodynamic therapy [4]. In addition, it can reduce the destruction adjacent healthy cells by its lower heat-affected zone [3,4].…”
