A Literature Review on CO2 Laser Welding

Abstract

Laser welding is a sophisticated, high accuracy and high speed welding process. Laser welding is a process of joining components where laser beam used as a heat source. In this present study a literature review on welding by laser as a heat source has been addressed. In the present review, emphasis has been given especially on the laser welding numerical and experimental temperature field analysis, thermo-mechanical analysis. The time frame of the review is 1992-2013.

Nonequilibrium characteristics in the rotational temperature of CO excited states in microwave discharge CO2 plasma

“…14,15) It has been frequently used as a high-intensity laser for the mechanical industry in metal cutting or as a laser source for welding technology. 16,17) The CO 2 laser is well equipped for medical treatment, which has a wide range of applications in otolaryngology such as in uvulopalatoplasty or as a laser scalpel with coagulation mechanisms in plastic surgery. 18) From the viewpoint of more practical engineering applications, there has been a marked development in atmosphericpressure nonequilibrium plasma technology.…”
