Introduction to Laser Material Processing

Résumé fourni par la source

A laser is an instrument that produces light by means of optical amplification, which relies on the stimulated emission of electromagnetic radiation. Because of this, lasers are used for a wide range of purposes, from simple everyday tasks to the most complex ones, for entirely commercial or solely scientific reasons, and everything from lifesaving to life-threatening reasons. High-power lasers can process materials, performing a variety of manufacturing tasks, and producing severe heating. Intentionally excluding the range of laser applications in fields such as biomedical technology and metrology, the current contribution gives a general idea of the use of high-power lasers exclusively for material processing in engineering applications. The manufacturing methods discussed can be broadly categorized into four main groups: surface engineering, joining, machining, and laser-assisted forming. Each section lists a thorough update of the literature, scientific problems, and technological advancements, in addition to going over the extent and underlying principles of these processes. The basics of laser–matter interaction, classification of laser material processing, and a quick overview of many types of lasers and their broad applications were given at the outset. Correlating the qualities with the material's microstructure, composition, and processing factors is the main emphasis of the entire conversation.
