To address this issue, laser cleaning has been widely investigated in recent years, due to the advantages it offers over traditional mechanical and chemical methods: it is gradual, selective, contactless, and environmentally friendly. That said, the laser parameters should be optimized in order to avoid any by-effects on the surface as a result of overcleaning. However, as the adjustment of each parameter to clean polymineralic stones is a difficult task, it would be useful to know the effect of overcleaning on the different forming minerals depending on the wavelength used. In this paper, three different wavelengths (355 nm, 532 nm, and 1064 nm) of a Q-Switch neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:Y3Al5O12) laser, commonly known as QS Nd:YAG laser were applied to extract a naturally developed sub-aerial biofilm from Vilachán granite, commonly used in monuments in the Northwest (NW)Iberian Peninsula.

    Joint thematic Workshop of Institut Lasers Plasmas, and LaserLab-Europe NA3 networking activity : Thematic Network on High Energy Lasers Next generation high energy lasers for basic research : Need for versatile high rep rate facilities Bordeaux University, September 3rd, 2010 1. RATIONALE The French government has issued a call for medium-size Research Infrastructures, which may represent a major opportunity to boost High Energy Density research, both at French and European levels. Under the aegis of Institut Lasers Plasmas (France), and LaserLab- Europe 2 , a dedicated workshop should unravel the general needs and scientific cases for a next generation HED laser facility of high repetition rates (one shot per few minutes) but moderate energies, and discuss how such a facility can be coordinated with other HED facilities and programs at French and European levels. 2. SCIENTIFIC CONTEXT The physics of laser-matter interaction in the domain of High Energy Density (HED) matter requires large scale laser facilities with laser pulses of many kilojoules. The technological frontier is now provided by such lasers systems as the National Ignition Facility (NIF), USA, and Laser MegaJoule (LMJ) near Bordeaux, or by Petawatt high energy lasers such as Omega-EP, Rochester University, USA, LFEX, Osaka University, Japan, or PETAL, Bordeaux. However, because of their extremely high operational cost and relatively low number of shots available, smaller sized facilities, so called "intermediate", are absolutely crucial to all scientific and technological developments in the field. The French national taskforce on the development of powerful lasers, ILP/GRALE, has identified four classes of high energy lasers: – Lasers of megajoule level; – Lasers of large but intermediate scale with a pulse energy larger than 10 kJ; – Lasers of kilojoule scale, such as LULI2000; – Sub-kilojoule scale lasers providing a combination of accessibility and flexibility of use.

However, recent welding, the high temperatures of keyhole welding can technological developments in high power diode laser vaporize volatile materials, producing a different technology have expanded the capabilities of laser welding, composition in the fusion zone than in the base metal. Also, as well as changed its cost characteristics. As a result, diode with hardenable steels, the rapid cooling generates fully lasers are poised to replace traditional laser sources for some martensitic fusion zones and hardened heat affected zones. applications and also expand laser welding implementation into entirely new areas. In contrast, if the threshold laser power required to initiate a keyhole is not reached, then only surface melting occurs. This article provides an introduction to high-power diode Because laser energy is absorbed almost entirely at the laser technology and its use in welding. In particular, it surface and heat transfer into the bulk material occurs by compares the capabilities and characteristics of diode lasers conduction, this is called conduction mode welding. with other welding laser technologies, reviews the Conduction mode welds are typically shallow and most often applications best suited for diode welding and provides some have a bowl-shaped profile. The heat affected zone is larger guidance on what materials are compatible with this process.

  • Role of Laser Beam in Welding and Assembly: a Status Review B
    Role of Laser Beam in Welding and Assembly: A Status Review B. Narayana Reddy, P. Hema, C. Eswara Reddy*, G. Padmanabhan Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati – 517 502, INDIA. Abstract Laser Technology is gaining importance both in manufacturing / production industry.Metal joining by welding of similar and dissimilar metals is the most important process. Further, the effective utilization of metals also influences economic aspects, due to differences in chemical composition, coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of base metals to be welded. Dissimilar metals are being welded in energy generating plants, chemical, nuclear and marine industries. Hence, design of the joints and their strength conditions are important. Thus, advanced process / techniques such as Laser / Laser Beam Welding (LBW) of metals is in forefront not only to achieve sound joint / assembly but also reliability. Therefore, a solemn attempt is made in the present paper to present a brief status review based on seventy two various contributions in terms of research / experimental studies, since the LBW possesses high speed, low heat input per unit volume and deep penetration. Hence, it is necessary to identify the effect on weld bead size, microstructure of the weld joint or assembly not only on the steels but also other metals. The paper also presents the importance of visual inspection and Non- Destructive Tests (NDT) which are being conducted on welds to ascertain the joint integrity and quality of the welded joints and on the assembly. Keywords:Laser Beam, Welding, Heat Affecting Zone, Assembly, Joining, Alloy Steels,Quality, Reliability. 1.
