Characterization of laser bending under different cooling conditions Available to Purchase

Using proper cooling method can significantly increase the process efficiency of laser bending. Such a technique is useful, for example, in a process of rectifying welding distortions with laser beam, cooling is an essential manner. In this work, the comparison of bending results with different cooling methods are performed, a fundamental study is carried out which examined the effects of cooling parameters on bending angle of pure aluminum and mild steel. The metallurgical and mechanical influences are investigated and summarized here. As a result of the FEM-analysis, the three-dimension transient temperature field is established. The numerical simulation model is developed to further improve the process understanding.
