The welding characteristics of Inconel 600 Alloy using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser are experimentally investigated. The major process parameters studied in the present laser welding experiment were the positions of focus, laser power and travel speed of laser bean We measured the fusion zone size and its shape using an optical microscope for the observation of cross-sectional area. We performed two tests regarding the tension and the micro hardness for welding quality estimation. Then we measured residual stress in welds by electronic speckle pattern interferometry(ESPI). In conclusion the optimum butt welding process parameters were 0.5mm focus position, 1.6kW laser power, 1m/min travel speed and 5.5$\ell$/min assist gas discharge.

This work was carried out as a fundamental experiment to fabricate a Graded-Boundary Ni/Steel material using a laser beam. A Ni sheet was placed on a steel substrate, and then a series of high power $CO_2$ laser beams were irradiated on the surface in order to produce a homogeneous alloyed layer. The processing parameters were : 4 ㎾ laser power, 2m/min traverse speeds, -2mm defocuing, 17 l/min sheiding gas flow rates. The sequential repetition of the laser surface alloying treatment up to 4 times, resulted in about 5mm thick of fair compositional gradient systems. In order to determine the microstructure, phase and compositional profiles in this material, optical microscopy, XRD and EDS were used. The compositions varied from 66% to 0% for Ni and 34% to 100% for Fe in this material The microstructures were typical morphologies of rapid solidification and solid-state cooling. Since compressive stress was formed in the heat affected region due to martensitic transformation, while relative tensile stress was developed in the alloyed region, cracks were formed between the alloyed region and the substrate region.

In this study, we have investigated the micromachining of PZT to fabricate interdigitated electrodes of electro active material actuator using Nd:YAG laser We have observed groove shapes of PZT with changing beam power, scanning speed, gas, and so on to find optimum conditions of the laser processing for PZT grooves. As a result, this method has been applied to the laser micromachining for grooves in PZT surface, and we could have optimum parameters of Nd:YAG laser Finally it was shown that the laser micromachining of PZT can substitute fer bonding, etching and deposition processes in fabricating electro active material actuator embedded with interdigitated electrodes.

We have developed the radio frequency excited slab waveguide $CO_2$ laser, The dimension of active area is $2{\times}40{\times}400$ mm to get a laser gain. Two pieces of concave mirror are used to make the unstable resonator of negative branch. The radio frequency is 123 MHz and RF input power is from 100 to 900 W. The laser gas is set to a pressure of 10 ∼ 60 torr and the mixing ration is $CO_2$:$N_2$:He=1:1:3. The laser output power of 50.9 W was obtained with laser power to RF power efficiency of 6.5 %.

Cutting by a high speed laser cutting machine is one of most effective technologies to improve productivity. This paper has studied to obtain the cutting characteristics and optimal cutting conditions in a high speed feeding type laser cutting machine by Tacuchi method in design of experiments. A Lf(34) orthogonal array is adopted to study the effect of adjustment parameter. The adjustment parameters consist of cutting speed, laser power, laser output duty and assistant gas pressure. And the quality feature is selected as surface roughness of sheet metal. Variance analysis is performed in order to evaluate the effect of adjustment parameters on the quality feature of laser cutting process.

An experimental study of energy absorption and x-ray emission from ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of in-situ produced solid clusters has been performed. Silver clusters produced by a 30 mJ, 300 ps laser pulse were irradiated up to an intensity of $3{\times}10^{17}\;W/cm^2$ by a 70 mJ, 45 fs compressed laser pulse from the same Ti:sapphire laser. Absorption of the laser light exceeding 70% was observed, resulting in an x-ray yield (>1 keV) of ${\sim}60{\mu}J$ pulse. This may constitute a much simpler means of intense x-ray generation using ultrashort laser pulses as compared to the irradiation of structured / pre-deposited cluster targets, and it offers higher x-ray conversion efficiency than that from gas clusters and planar solid targets.

레이저 절단가공에서 사용되는 보조가스의 충돌특성을 개선하기 위한 실험적 연구가 진행되었다. 보조가스의 압력, 노즐의 위치 및 각도 등 다양한 관계변수의 변화에 대하여, 초음속 사각노즐에서 분출되는 보조가스의 절단면 충돌특성이 기존의 원형노즐 경우와 비교 관찰되었다. 이를 위하여 쉴러린 유동가시화 및 절단면 하단에서의 피토압 측정이 진행되었다. 본 연구에서 응용된 사각노즐은 절단면 모서리에서 발생하는 마하디스크의 강도를 줄이고, 이를 통하여 기존의 원형노즐에 비하여 절단면을 따라 흐르는 보조가스의 박리현상을 약화시키고 보조가스 후방의 피토압력을 증가시킬 수 있음이 확인되었다.

This work presents an investigation of aerodynamic characteristics of fuel spray injected from a high pressure hollow cone swirl injector into a constant volume chamber. Laser tomography visualization was used to interrogate the fuel and air mixing characteristics and the effect of chamber pressure and temperature increase was analyzed, Preliminary results on spray development showed that mixing effect tends to increase with the increase of injection pressure and chamber gas pressure yielding a decrease of spray penetration and an attenuation of well-defined vortex structure. Topological analysis of the spray structure has been performed to initiate the understanding of mixing and vaporization process. For the present experimental conditions fuel injection pressure and chamber gas pressure appear as the dominant factors which govern the transient mixing characteristics. Moreover spray atmixation characteristics are improved by increasing chamber gas temperature.

High-speed ejection of burnt gases from the resonator cavity is essential for performance optimization of the chemical laser system. Additionally, to maintain the population of lasing species at a level for maximum optical power, the pressure within the cavity must be of order of 10 torr. In the present study, a small-scale ejector was designed and built for parametric study of its performance. High-pressure air was used as a motive gas. Measurements include schlieren visualization and pressure distribution trace near the ejector nozzle and along the diffuser downstream of the ejector. preliminary tests showed performance of the ejector is a function of parameters including mass flow rate and stagnation pressure of the motive gas, ejector nozzle area ratio, throat area of the diffuser downstream of the ejector.
