Additive manufacturing is attracting more and more interest. Laser Cladding is one of these additive manufacturing processes. As it is a blown powder process, here a melt pool formation & fusion by moving the laser beam, into which powder is blown and molten & surface tension gradient ... Read More
In the field of laser applications, surface treatment is highly studied. Two process categories are commonly used. First processes use very short pulses (femto or pico seconds) known to avoid thermal effects and to have high spatial resolutions. Second processes have higher interaction ... Read More
Here we present a simulation for evaluation of novel obscurant candidates under high-energy laser (HEL) illumination. This approach incorporates thermal modeling into obscurant characterization, allowing for evaluation of the temperature increase of the candidate obscurants as well as ... Read More
Laser technologies such as welding, cutting and metal deposition are widely used in the industry. High quality requirements regarding process products cause that there is often a need to monitor the process. For this purpose, optical sensors integrated with a laser head are often used. ...

A lateral observation of laser-induced keyhole through the quartz window is an easy and cheap experimental method. It opens an interesting perspective for the study of keyhole asymmetry in case of dissimilar metal combinations. To quantify the effect of quartz window on the observed ... Read More
Whereas the physic models of fluid lubrication should be able to provide quantitative predictions to industrial problems, it is somehow demanding to provide the input data to feed these high-level equation systems. The operating conditions are generally available, and the material ... Read More
The present work introduces a new methodology, based on COMSOL Multiphysics® Application Builder, to account for the “beam trapping” effect in multiphysical modelling of laser welding. Incident intensities involved in laser welding processes are high enough to induce material ... Read More
Laser surface texturing has emerged as a promising texturing technique due to properties such as excellent repeatability, non-contact process, the ability to achieve small-size features and high-quality finishing. The work described here is part of the H2020 research program called SHARK ... Read More
New emerging trends in the MEMS market are linked to the availability of small, reliable and miniature sensors for harsh environment applications to increase penetration in all application fields, considering very wide operating condition ranges. These trends are pushed forward by the ... Read More
Surface engineering is a key technology used in a wide range of sectors in industry. Among other techniques, it involves adding functionality to a surface. This can be performed by creating a specific topography to a surface using laser texturing. In this paper, the focus is on ... Read More
