The main purpose of this study was to investigate the formation mechanisms of imperfections such as irregular humps, outer cavity and inner cavity in the laser fusion zone of diamond saw blade. Laser beam welding was conducted to join two parts of blade; mild steel shank and Fe-Co-Ni sintered tip. The variables were beam power and travel speed. The microstructure and elements distributions of specimens were analyzed with SEM, AES, EPMA and so on. It was found that these imperfections were responded to heat input. Irregular humps were reduced in 10.4∼17.6kJ/m heat input range. However there were no clear evidences, which could explain the relations between humps formation and heat input. The number of outer cavity and inner cavity decreased as heat input was increased. Considering both possible defects formations mechanisms, it could be thought that outer cavity was caused by insufficient refill of keyhole, which was from rapid solidification of molten metal and fast molten metal flow to the rear keyhole wall at low heat input. More inner cavities were found near the interface of the fusion zone and sintered segment and in the bottom of the fusion zone. Inner cavity was mainly formed in the upper fusion zone at high heat input whereas was in the bottom at low heat input. Inner cavity was from trapping of coarsened preexist pores in the sintered tip and metal vapor due to rapid solidification of molten metal before the bubbles escaped.

Use of engineering ceramics has been increasing due to the outstanding physical and chemical properties. Conventional machining processes, however, are not applicable due to their hardness and brittleness. Laser cutting is a promising alternative for these ceramics. In this study, experimental data of CO $_{2}$ laser cutting of $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ and Si $_{3}$ N $_{4}$ are obtained to give a guide in the industry. Results of $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ cutting showed extreme weakness to thermal crack and it was found that pulsed beam has to be used for thick $Al_{2}$ $O_{3}$ specimen. Si $_{3}$ N $_{4}$ showed good results for both CW and pulsed beams. Using pulsed beam resulted narrower kerf width with increased surface roughness a nd reduced cutting speed. It was also found that a parameter call path energy is useful for representing minimum threshold value for possible cutting range with pulsed beam.

This study reports the CW $CO_2$ laser scribing of soda lime glass. In this study, scribing experiments are carried out at different laser powers, scan speeds, and focal positions to investigate the effect of the process parameters on the interaction characteristics between a laser beam and glass. In particular, the interaction characteristics are analyzed and described with the input laser energy per unit length. According to the experimental results, the damage threshold for the glass surface was found to exist between 0.072 and 0.08 J/mm. The input laser energy in this region induced partial melting of the surface and grain-shaped cracks. These cracks tended to increase as the input laser energy increased. At the laser input energy larger than 1 J/mm, a huge crack propagating along the scan direction was produced, and the volume below the scribed area was fully melted. The growth of this crack finally resulted in the complete cutting of the glass at the input laser energy above 8 J/mm. It was found that both the width and depth of the scribed line increased with increasing input laser energy. For the beam focusing at the rear surface, the width of the scribed line varied irregularly. This could be ascribed to the increased asymmetry of the beam intensity distribution when the laser beam was focused at the rear surface. Under this condition, a large burr was only produced on one side of the scribed line.

자기 구속 균열 시험법인 Tapered 시편 균열 시험법을 이용하여 Al-Mg 합금의 CW $CO_2$ 레이저 용접시 Mg 함량 변화에 따른 고온균열감수성 변화를 조사하였다. Mg 함량 1.9wt.%에서 최대균열감수성을 나타내고 있으며 이보다 Mg 함량이 증가하거나 감소하면 고온균열 감수성이 감소한다. 용접금속 결정립 크기 또한 고온균열감수성과 관련이 있으며 Mg 함량이 증가할수록 결정립이 미세화되며, 1.9wt.%Mg 이상에서 결정립이 미세화될수륵 고온균열 감수성 이 감소한다.

By irradiating photoresist on Si or glass with $Ar^+$ (${\lambda}$=514 nm, CW) and Nd:YAG (${\lambda}$=266 and 532nm, pulse) laser beam, the photoresist was etched masklessly in air. Using a fourth harmonic Nd:YAG laser beam, the etching threshold of energy fluence was $25\;J/cm^2$ and the damage of substrate was appeared over $40\;J/cm^2$.

A 23 W continuous wavelength $CO_2$ laser system exited by a high-frequency LCC resonant converter is adapted to cut a biodegradable rope fabricated with polybutylene succinate. As the biodegradable rope consists of three twisted strands, the thickness changes relative to the position of the laser beam and we thus propose a method to determine exact cutting depth. In order to obtain the parameters related to the rope cutting, the experimental and theoretical cutting depths are compared and analyzed for a range of laser heat sources. The melted thickness and groove width of the cut biodegradable rope are also examined. The proposed theoretical cutting depth depends on the incident power and target velocity ratio. From these experimental results, the biodegradable rope with a diameter of 22 mm can be cut with a heat source of 50 J/cm resulting in a melted thickness of 1.96 mm and a groove width of 0.65 mm. The laser system is shown to be perfect tool for the processing of biodegradable rope without the occurrence of raveling.

Laser beam welding of zinc-coated steel, especially lap joints, has a problem of zinc vapor produced during welding which has a low vaporization temperature of 906.deg. C. It is lower than the melting temperature of steel (1500.deg. C). The high pressure formed by vaporization of zinc during laser welding splatters the molten pool and creates porosities in weld. During laser lap welds of zinc-coated steel sheets with CW CO$_{2}$ laser the gap size has been analyzed and simulated using a FEM. The simulation has been carried out in the range of gap aetween 0 and 0.16 mm. The vaporized zinc gas has effected to prevent heat from conducting toward the bottom of sheets. In vaporized zinc gas has effected to prevent heat from conducting toward the bottom of sheets. In the case of too small gap size, zinc gas has not ejected and existed between two sheets. Therefore heat was difficult to conduct from the upper sheet to lower sheet and the upper sheet could over-melted. In the case of large gap size the zinc gas has been prefectly ejected but only a part of lower sheet has melted. The optimum range of gap size in the lap welds of zinc-coated steel sheets has been calculated to be between 0.08 and 0.12 mm. According to the comparison of experiment, the simulation is proved to be acceptable and applicable to laser lap welds.

본 논문에서는 금속에서의 광음향신호를 분석하기 위해 CW $CO_{2}$ 레이저를 사용하여 광음향 신호검출 시스템을 구성하였으며 알루미늄, 탄소강 및 활동을 샘플로 선택하고 레이저 변조주파수, 록인앰프의 시정수를 변화시키면서 샘플의 종류 및 두께에 따른 수 nA정도의 광음향 신호를 검출하여 신호처리 기법에 의해 금속에서의 광음향 신호의 특성을 분석하였다. 실험결과 시정수를 조정하여 광음향 신호를 안정화시킬 수 있었고 광음향 신호는 금속고유의 열팽창계수에 대한 열용량에 비례하여 증가하고 샘플두께 및 변조주파수에 대하여 지수함수적으로 감소함을 확인하였다.

The spatter and porosity could be occurred during $CO_2$ CW laser welding of Primer-coated Steel for Shipbuilding. This study has suggested an alternative idea by examining of weld-defect formation mechanism. The primer-coated plate has caused the spatter, humping bead and porosity and these are main part of the welding defect, attributed to the powerful vaporizing pressure of primer attached on the base metal. The zinc of primer has a boiling point that is the lower temperature than melting point of steel. Zinc va}X)f will build up at the interface between the two sheets and this tends to deteriorate the quality of the weld by ejecting weld material from lap position or leaving porosity. Therefore introducing a small gap clearance in the lap position, the zinc vapor could escape through it and sound weld beads can be acquired. In conclusion, we suggested the occurred and prevented mechanism of weld defects with searching the factor.
