A feedforward controller for tuning laser cladding melt pool geometry in real time
(Springer, 2016-07-12)
In this paper, a feedforward proportional-integral (PI) controller is developed to effectively control and tune the laser cladding melt pool geometry in real time. Width setpoint is included in the computer numerically ...
Analysis of the regimes in the scanner-based laser hardening process
(Elsevier, 2016-10-10)
Laser hardening is becoming a consolidated process in different industrial sectors such as the automotive industry or in the die and mold industry. The key to ensure the success in this process is to control the surface ...
Control loop tuning by thermal simulation applied to the laser transformation hardening with scanning optics process
(Elsevier, 2016-04)
Laser transformation hardening with scanning optics (LTHS) is a novel manufacturing process on a very preliminary stage of introducing it in the surface treatment industry. The key to ensure the success in this process is ...

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate and compare powder and wire laser material deposition (LMD) processes.Design/methodology/approachIn the present paper, Inconel 718 tensile test probes were built layer by ...
Internal characterization and hole formation mechanism in the laser percussion drilling process
(Elsevier, 2013-09-09)
Laser percussion drilling is increasing its relevance in many industrial applications, being used particularly in the aircraft industry in performing the micro-holes in nickel based alloys turbine blades for cooling, or ...
Evaluation of the relevance of melt pool dynamics in Laser Material Deposition process modeling
(Elsevier, 2017-07-14)
The melt pool dynamics consideration in the numeric modeling of the Laser Material Deposition (LMD) process can be enormously difficult and expensive, especially if this calculation is not strictly necessary. The increased ...
Laser beam welding analytical model when using wobble strategy
(Elsevier, 2020-12-23)
This article presents a model for estimating the thermal gradient, bead geometry, and microstructure in the laser welding process when the Wobble strategy is used. This method combines the main feed motion with a secondary ...
Instantaneous powder flux regulation system for Laser Metal Deposition
(Elsevier, 2017-09-04)
A new control system for regulating the powder flux during the laser metal deposition process (LMD) has been designed, developed and validated. The powder regulation system is based on a solenoid, which is coupled to the ...
