Analytical model for the temperature distribution and the cooling rate of weld in dual beam laser welding is presented for investigating the possibility of controling the cooling rate. The model is based on the solutions to the problem of heat flow due to the distributed and line heat sources for preheating and welding respectively in plates with finite thickness. The effects of beam power, beam distribution parameter, interbeam distance, and welding speed on the resulting temperature distribution and cooling rate are presented. The cooling rates of dual beam laser weld at the weld centerline under the investigated conditions are reduced to as one third of those of welds which were produced by single beam laser. And it appeared that the cooling rate of dual beam laser weld is strongly dependent on the process parameters of preheating laser beam power and welding speed.

Thermal cesium atomic beam was collimated by transversely cooling of atoms, for which circularly polarized ($\sigma^+$ and $\sigma^-$ polarized) laser light was illuminated to the atomic beam from two perpendicular directions. As a result, the temperature corresponding to the transverse velocity component could be decreased from 430 mK to 60 11K. In addition, the spatial atomic distribution was observed according to the power difference of the two laser beams and the magnetic field applied, and the result was qualitatively coincided with the calculation result by the Doppler cooling theory. heory.

Nd:YAG pulse laser welding of stainless steel plate was simulated to find welding condition by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered and user subroutines were applied to boundary condition for the heat transfer. Material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, mass density and latent heat were given as a function of temperature. As results, Three dimensional heat source model for pulse laser beam conditions of butt welding has been designed by the comparison between the finite element analysis results and experimental data on AISI 304 stainless steel plate. Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.

Currently, many researches are carried out for laser assisted machining, which is one of the important fields in materials difficult to process. However, a prediction of heat source is difficult because of moving heat source. In this paper, a thermal analysis of laser assisted machining of plate by change of heat source size is performed, and preheating temperature by adjusting the feed rate is controlled. It was recognized that the maximum preheating temperature increases according to the decrease in heat source size, and feed rate need to adjust as high speed. The results of this analysis can be used as a reference for preheating temperature prediction in laser assisted milling.

확산모델과 파모델의 결과에 있어 큰 차이가 일어나는 경우를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1) 과도기 간이 짧다. 2) 작동온도가 아주 낮다. 3) 온도구배가 상당히 크다. 이때3)의 경우는 서로 다른 물질들이 접촉된 경우 또는 높은 열유속이 있는 경우 또는 얇은 표면층 등을 갖는 문제들의 공 통적인 특징이다. Non-Fourier 열전도 문제를 이용해 온도 분포를 예측해야 하는 실제적인 몇 가지 예를 살펴 보면 레이저 기술 또는 절대온도 영(zero)에 접근하는 온도에서의 액체 헬륨을 다루는 저온공학연구 또는 1/$10^{6}$Inch 정도의 표면조도가 관심사인 정밀공학 등을 들 수 있다. 또한 상당히 높은 강도의 열원이 작용될 때 고체에서의 크랙이나 보이드(void) 같은 국소 결함은 확산거동이 나타나기에 요구되는 시간보다 짧은 시간 구간에서 발생되어질 수 있으며, 크랙발생의 방향과 같은 것들은 hyperbolic 모델에의해 예측되어져야만 한다. 특히 움직이는 열원 또는 propagating crack tip을 갖는 경우에 그들 주위에서의 온도장을 규정짓는 가장 중요한 변 수는 열마하수 M이며, 아음속에서 초음속 영역으로 천이될 때 물리적 양들의 변화에 있어서 일어나는 현상들은 열충격의 형성에 기인하는데 이러한 현상들은 확산 모델로서는 예측될 수 없는 특징들이다. 이상에서 살펴볼 때 non-Fourier 모델에 대해 관심을 기울일 필요가 있다고 사료된다.

Recently, high carbon steel has become essential not only for shipbuilding parts, but also mass production. Its surface has been treated by carburizing, nitriding and induction hardening, but these existing treatments cause considerable deformation and increase the expense of postprocessing after treatment; furthermore, these treatments cannot be easily applied to parts that requiring the hardening of only a certain section. This is because the treatment cannot heat the material homogeneously, nor can it heat all of it. Laser surface treatment was developed to overcome these disadvantages, and when the laser beam is irradiated on the surface and laser speed is appropriate, the laser focal position is rapidly heated and the thermal energy of surface penetrates the material after irradiation, finally imbuing it with a new mechanical characteristic by the process of self-quenching. This research estimates the material characteristic after efficient and functional surface treatment using HPDL, which is more efficient than the existing CW Nd:YAG laser heat source. To estimate, microstructural changes and hardness characteristics of two parts (the surface treatment part, and parental material) are observed with the change of laser beam speed and surface temperature.

본 고에서는 경년열화의 종류, 열화의 판정방법 등에 관한 일반사항과 열화 및 수명예측 문 제를 해결하기 위한 문제점등을 기술하였고, 그 동안 연구되어진 열화 현상에 의한 재료강도의 저하현상을 설명하였다. 또한 열화현상은 비파괴 판정만으로 수명예측이 어려우므로 시간에 따라 진행하는 열화의 진행곡선이 반드시 필요할 것이다. 이와 같이 열화진행 정도를 추정하기 위해 열화재의 가속제작 방법과 레이저 빔의 고온의 열원을 이용한 열화 치료 가능성을 제시 하였다. 아울러 열화치료에 대해 정도높은 방법에 제시된다면 기존 기계구조물을 안전하고, 지속적으로 사용하여 경제적인 손실을 줄일 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study was conducted to compare the laser weldability of boron steel and hot-stamped steel. In general, boron steel is used in the hot-stamping process. Hot-stamping is a method for simultaneously forming and cooling boron steel in a press die after heating it to the austenitizing temperature. Hot-stamped steel has a strength of 1500 MPa or more. Thus, in this study, the laser weldability of boron steel and thet of hot-stamped steel were investigated and compared. A continuous wave disk laser was used to produce butt and lap joints. In the butt welding, the critical cooling speed at which full penetration was obtained in the hot-stamped steel was lower than that of boron steel. In the lap welding, the joint widths were similar regardless of the welding speed when full penetration was obtained.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to find optimal welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered and user subroutines were applied to boundary condition for the heat transfer. Material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, mass density and latent heat were given as a function of temperature. A moving heat source was designed on the basis of experimental data. As a result, Nd:YAG laser welding for AISI 304 stainless steel was successfully simulated and it should be useful to determine optimal welding condition.
