Welding Seam

Seam tracking is significant to obtain good welding quality. Aiming at establishing a model to detect and calculate the seam tracking offset during high-power fiber laser welding of Type 304 austenitic stainless steel plate butt joint welding, an infrared sensitive high-speed camera arranged off-axis orientation of laser beam was applied to capture the dynamic thermal images of molten pool. Through analyzing the infrared image, the actual position of the workpiece gap in the image was obtained. Least squares method was used to determine the precise position of the actual workpiece gap. A model that calculated the deviations between the workpiece gap and the laser beam was deduced. Also, the least squares method was used to fit the workpiece gap curve equation. The coordinate transformation technology was used and the welding seam equation was established. A linear model was obtained to detect the deviations between the workpiece gap and the welding seam. The welding experiments confirmed that the proposed welding seam equation was effective.

Laser Scribing

Laser magnetic domain refinement (LMDR) is applied to reduce the power losses of grain oriented electrical steel, which is used as core material in power or distribution transformers, by generating thermal stress due to the absorbed laser energy. The most widely used laser beam source for the industrial utilization is the CO 2 laser beam source with typical core loss improvements of about 10%. In this paper the dependency of treatment parameters with respect to the magnetic properties of the steel sheets are investigated for the laser scribing process using a high power fiber laser beam source. Especially the treatment properties, which are influenced by the laser beam source, such as focusability, wavelength and absorption behavior, are addressed in this paper. Therefore, single sheets 300 mm × 30 mm × 0.27 mm (high-permeability, comparable to M103-27P) are measured before and after the laser scribing process to evaluate the magnetic properties, as well as the loss components. The analysis has shown that the core loss can be improved by approximately 13% using the fiber laser by scribing invisible lines on the sheet surface.

Chirped and tilted fiber Bragg gratings (CTFBGs) have attracted a lot of attention in stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) suppression of high-power fiber lasers. However, the laser power handling capacity seriously limits their applications. In this paper, by optimizing the inscription parameters and post-processing strategy, we fabricate a large-mode-area double-cladding CTFBG with a thermal slope of ~0.015 °C/W due to the low insertion loss of about 0.15 dB, which make it possible for direct kilowatt-level application. A 2 kW-level fiber laser oscillator is employed to test the CTFBG, and a series of experiments have been carried out to compare the effect of SRS mitigation in high-power fiber laser long-distance delivery. In addition, the influence of CTFBGs on laser beam quality is studied for the first time. Experimental results indicated that the CTFBG could effectively mitigate SRS and has no obvious influence on laser beam quality. This work opens a new opportunity for further power scaling and the delivery of high-power fiber lasers over longer distances.
