Micro Cracks

The laser shaping of thin alumina ceramic plates appears to be an advantageous manufacturing method. Unfortunately, the failure rate for using this technique is high because of crack initiation during the application of a high power laser. We address the issue of crack initiation with the use of in-process and post-process analysis. This article reports our results on the evaluation of the surface and interior cracks with optical, scanning laser, scanning electron and scanning acoustic microscopy. We present images of surface and subsurface micro-cracks generated at different power levels of a high power CO2 laser system. The spatial variation of the Rayleigh wave velocity is measured by the V(z) curve technique. These preliminary data suggest that, some with improvement, the V(z) technique may detect residual stress with high spatial resolution. The obtained results may contribute to the understanding of the fracture mechanism, and can eventually provide guidance for the choice of laser parameters (e.g., power, focus, scanning rate, emitting duration, or the like) in laser shaping apparatus.

Industrial laser systems handle high power consumptions and may function under undesirable operating conditions if the systems are not properly maintained. It is sometimes difficult to diagnose why a laser is not functioning properly because the optical output is the result of complex interactions among many parameters such as the total gas pressure, effectiveness of the laser cooling system, operating environment, and gradual deterioration of laser components. In this paper, a dynamic power distribution model is developed to characterize the power distribution of a high-power transverse-flow DC-excited CO2 laser to account for dynamic effects such as continuously ramping up and down the laser output power and the cyclic nature of the chiller. The model contains the essential dynamic features of a CO2 laser system and yields solutions sufficiently accurate for practical diagnostic purposes.

By taking advantage of the best characteristics of wood, modern production methods can offer hard wearing and ecological solutions in industrial construction, house building, machinery construction, furniture manufacturing, transport and many other industries. Laser cutting process is an alternative choice to prepare the final shape of wood parts. Materials like wood have good laser light absorption of wavelength 10600 nm. In this paper a CO2 laser system with a maximum continuous-wave output power of 150 W is described and used in studying laser cutting process of wood materials. Cut depth is evaluated with variation of values of laser power and cutting speed. Additionally, optimal values of parameters for laser cutting of different wood plate thicknesses are determined and graphs are created showing the results.
