Machining Productivity

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) process is an effective method to facilitate material removal processes for difficult-to-cut materials. In LAM process, the mechanical strength of various materials is reduced by a laser heat source focused in front of the cutting tool during machining. Since the laser heat source is located ahead of the cutting tool, the workpiece is preheated by the heat source. This enables difficult-to-cut materials to be machined more easily with low cutting energy, increasing the machining productivity and accuracy. It is difficult to apply laser-assisted milling (LAMilling) to workpieces having complex shapes, because it is not easy to control laser preheating and the cutting tool path for three-dimensionally shaped workpieces. LAMilling has only been used in limited fields such as single-direction machining of flat surfaces. To apply this process in the industrial field, studies on workpieces having various shapes are needed. This study aims to develop a laser-assisted milling device having multiple axes and to investigate the machining characteristics of several difficult-to-cut materials.

This study proposes a new nondestructive evaluation methodology named laser lock-in thermography (LLT) for fatigue crack detection. LLT utilizes a high power continuous wave (CW) laser as a heat generation source for lock-in thermography instead of commonly used flash and halogen lamps. The advantages of the proposed LLT method are that (1) the laser heat source can be positioned at an extended distance from a target structure thank to the directionality and low energy loss of the laser source, (2) thermal image degradation due to surrounding temperature disturbances can be minimized because of high temperature gradient generated by the laser source and (3) a large target surface can be inspected using a scanning laser heat source. The developed LLT system is composed of a modulated high power CW laser, galvanometer and infrared camera. Then, a holder exponent-based data processing algorithm is proposed for intuitive damage evaluation. The developed LLT is employed to detect a micro fatigue crack in a metal plate. The test result confirms that 5 μm (or smaller) fatigue crack in a dog-bone shape aluminum plate with a dimension of 400 x 140 x 3 mm3 can be detected.

This paper presents an analytical solution of the hyperbolic heat conduction equation for moving semi-infinite medium under the effect of time dependent laser heat source. Laser heating is modeled as an internal heat source, whose capacity is given by while the semi-infinite body has insulated boundary. The solution is obtained by Laplace transforms method, and the discussion of solutions for different time characteristics of heat sources capacity (constant, instantaneous, and exponential) is presented. The effect of absorption coefficients on the temperature profiles is examined in detail. It is found that the closed form solution derived from the present study reduces to the previously obtained analytical solution when the medium velocity is set to zero in the closed form solution.

The present study deals with the effect of laser radiation on the propagation phenomenon of a thermal wave in processed meat subjected to symmetrical heating on both sides. Laser heating is modeled as an internal heat source with various time characteristics. The Cattaneo heat flux law, together with the energy conservation equation, is solved by a numerical technique based on an explicit scheme, i.e. MacCormack's predictor-corrector scheme. The study concludes that (1) if the absorption coefficient of the continuously operated laser heat source increases, then temperature overshoot occurs in processed meat within a very short period of time; (2) the overshoot and oscillation of thermal wave depend on the frequency of the heat source time characteristics; and (3) the criterion for the occurrence of thermal wave in a thin processed meat is the thickness of the order of about 1 mm.
