Researchers at Pennsylvania State University used large language models to evaluate parameters that can contribute to laser ...

Device makers are taking increased interest in product designs and assembly that support closed-loop recycling. A Branson plastic welding process can safely and nondestructively “unweld” plastics used ...

Industrial lasers are used to process engineering plastics across many markets. Some examples of the common processes are shown in Figure 1, including laser marking, cutting, and welding.

The NREL report assesses the potential of replacing plastic polymer connectors with glass-to-glass laser welding. Image: NREL The US Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Renewable Energy Laboratory ...

Medical devices use a variety of metal components that are often welded to form a secure and permanent bond. Options available for welding processes are limited because of certain constraints such as ...

Partnership with AMT GmbH achieves laser-assisted metal flux-cored welding for easier wet fabrication. Pile treatment: laser-assisted metal flux-cored welding. Laser Zentrum Hannover (LZH), together ...

Laser welding and bonding of glass materials represent a rapidly advancing field that combines precision optics and materials science to produce strong, hermetic joints without the need for mechanical ...

Such metal combinations needed for future low-weight vehicles; LZH says problem solved by LaserLeichter project. Quick and safe joining of steel and aluminum using remote laser welding. Load-adapted ...

Non-contact laser welding offers several advantages when it comes to joining one plastic part to another. It works on the principle of partial transmission which lets a laser’s light travel through ...

Since it is difficult to weld aluminum and copper with other methods, this process is a perfect method of combining aluminum and copper.. Welding, as implied by the name, usually involves the joining ...

Between the needs of reducing emissions, constantly improving safety, and keeping costs low, the automotive industry faces challenges arising from recent shifts toward eco-friendly vehicles. Engineers ...
