For the conventional welding method, the high heat transfer makes the crystallization of the work material unavoidable. Whereas the laser is able to weld the amorphous metal without a crystallized zone, because heat transfer is limited withn a very small restricted volume. In this paper, the possibilities and the limits of the laser welding in a deep frozen environment by liquid nitrogen were studied to utilize the advantageous properties of amorphous metal foils. The author investigated, after laser welding in a deep frozen environment with a solid state laser (Nd:YAG-laser), the achievable strengths and the influences of the laser beam parameters on the strengths.

In this paper, the possibilities of the laser overlap spot welding were studied to utilize the advantageous properties of amorphous metal foils. In order to estimate the usage of amorphous metals foils as structural members, the tensile shear strength and the fracture features were investigated. Although the crystalline zone on the surface was formed, it was not the direct cause of the fracture of the weld. The fracture of the weld resulted from the geometry discontinuity between the workpiece and the protrusion zone, which was formed during the weld process. The vein pattern - the typical feature of the fracture of the amorphous metal - was formed on the fracture surface. The tensile shear stress was reached to 1200 N/㎟ (2-foils overlap welding) and 900 N/㎟ (10-foils overlap welding), whereas the tensile strength of the workpiece was 1500-2000 N/㎟.

The stencil is a thin stainless sheet in which a pattern is formed, which is placed on a surface of plate to reproduce the pattern of electric circuit. Conventionally the stencil has been produced by etching process. This process has many anti-environmental factors. In this study, Nd : YAG laser cutting process has been applied for stencil manufacturing. The study is focused on estimating kerf width of laser cut stencil by E.B.P.(Error Back-Propagation). This algorithm is good for estimating target value from input value. In this paper, target value was kerf width, and input values were frequency, pulse width, cutting speed and laser power. E.B.P. after teaming input and target could estimate kerf width from some variables precisely.

실리콘을 기반으로 한 micro-Total Analysis Systems(${\mu}$-TAS)이 출현한 이후에, 현재까지 다양한 고분자 화합물을 이용한 유체소자의 연구가 진행중이다. 고분자 화합물은 실리콘과 유리를 이용한 전통적인 유체소자 재료에 비해 재료의 경제성과 소자 제작의 용이성 그리고 처리하고자 하는 유체에 맞는 다양한 재료를 선택할 수 있다는 장점을 지니고 있다. 하지만 고분자 화합물의 표면 에너지가 실리콘과 유리에 비해 낮은 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 다양한 표면처리 연구가 이루어져왔다. 레이저를 이용한 표면처리는 실험장치가 간단하고 대기 중에서 실시할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Nd:YAG 레이저(${\lambda}$=266 nm, pulse)를 이용하여 유체소자 재료로써 많이 사용되는 polymethly methacrylate(PMMA)의 표면개질을 시도하였다. 표면처리 후 접촉각 측정기를 이용하여 표면개질 정도를 확인한 결과, 표면 산소 함유량이 증가됨에 따라 접촉각이 감소하였다. 결론적으로 PMMA의 본래 성질은 유지한 채 레이저 표면처리를 이용한 표면 에너지 증가 효과를 볼 수 있었다.

Magnesium alloys are potentially useful as structural materials due to higher strength/weight ratio, heat conductivity and recyclability compared to other alloys. These alloys have attracted the interest of modern manufacturing such as the automobile, computer, communication and consumer electronic appliances industries. Hence welding techniques are required to be developed for these applications. Laser are known to be an excellent tool for them. This paper presents the laser weldability of AZ31 magnesium alloy with CW Nd:YAG laser. The low viscosity and surface tension of the melt pool make magnesium more difficult to weld than steel. As a result of this study, optimal process parameters could be obtained without weld defects. Also it was certain that cutting methods had influence on butt weldability.

Recoil force exerted on the substrate during a nanosecond laser ablation of silicon is measured. The ablation sample is placed at the end of a 400 $\mu\textrm{m}$ thick and 13 mm long silicon cantilever. The vibration amplitude of the cantilever induced by the recoil force is measured in real time with a probe beam. By comparing the deflection amplitude of the cantilever with a theoretical model, the recoil momentum is estimated. For laser irradiance in the order of 10$\^$11/ W/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the recoil pressure reached a value over 40${\times}$10$\^$9/ Pa.

Pulse laser welding of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was simulated to optimize welding conditions by using commercial finite element code MARC. Due to geometric symmetry, a half model of AISI 304 stainless steel plate was considered. for the heat transfer analysis, user subroutines were applied to boundary condition. The material properties such as conductivity, specific heat, and mass density were given as a function of temperature and the latent heat associated with a given temperature range was considered. 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.

During laser spot welding of the braun tube electron gun, phenomena such as serious spattering and oxidative reaction, etc. were occurred. The spatter occurred from weld pool affects the braun tube, namely it blocks up a very small hole on the shadow mask and causes short circuit between two poles of the electron gun. We guessed that high power density and oxidative reaction are main sources of these problems. So, we studied to prevent and to reduce spatter occurring in spot welding of the braun tube electron gun using pulsed Nd:YAG laser. The characteristics of laser output power was estimated, and the loss of laser energy by optical parameter and spatter was measured by powermeter. The effects of welding parameters, laser defocused distance and incident angle, were investigated on the shape and penetration depth of the laser welded bead in flare and flange joints. From these results, the laser peak power was a major factor to control penetration depth and to occur spatter. It was found that the losses of laser energy by optic parameter and sticked spatter affect seriously laser weldability of thin sheets.

Laser heat treatment technology is used for improving the feature of fatigue resistance and wear resistance in mobile parts. The purpose of this study is to compare the characteristics of laser heat treatment and high frequency heat treatment, which is commonly used in industrial place. For the preemptive experiment, the distribution, depth and size of hardening and its micro-structural features were compared between surface heat treatment case by defocusing and variables of each process for heat treatment by exclusively manufactured heat treatment optical system. As a result, high frequency heat treatment has wide distribution of hardening depth and width about 3 times larger than laser heat treatment, however, its average hardness showed 621.4Hv which is smaller than the average hardness of laser heat treatment with 691Hv.

Weldability is largely dependent on the phase evolution and the microstructure of the weld. For the weldability of the $Cu_{54}Ni_6Zr_{22}Ti_{18}$ bulk metallic glass, the crystallization affects the sensitivity of the weld to the brittle failure. In order to suppress the irreversible crystallization, Nd:YAG laser welding was chosen. The pulsed Nd:YAG laser was irradiated onto the BMG plate and the effects of the pulse shape [peak power intensity and pulse duration time] on the crystallinity were evaluated.
