Laser forming plastically deforms the material by means of a laser beam with or without the
application of mechanical loads. It can be used for bending of sheets and tubes and also for …

Laser welded blanks (LWBs) are semi-finished components typically manufacture by
dissimilar materials, thicknesses, shapes, coatings, etc. After butt welding of the primary …

The purpose of this paper is to numerically and experimentally investigate with optimized
parameters laser thermal bending of aluminum-copper two-layer sheet. Due to the fact that …

Shot peen forming is an essential method for forming large-size thin-walled structural parts
in the aerospace field. However, the complex elastic–plastic deformation involved in the …

In the era of miniaturization, welding of thin sheets find wide spread applications in
developing micro-scale products essentially used in bio-medical, aerospace and automobile …

The direct laser-assisted machining (DLAM) technique is introduced to improve the CFRP
machining process. The DLAM technique applies focused laser at the tool edge through a …

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials
and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness …

Laser forming, which is categorized as a thermal forming process, is used in forming and
bending of metallic and non-metallic sheets. Laser beam irradiation causes a localized …

The present study demonstrates laser bending which is a flexible and (external) tool-free
method for bending and shaping of metallic components. The numerical and experimental …

This paper reports a mechanism understanding how to reduce the solder joint failure
phenomenon in the laser spot micro-welding process of ultra-thin steel sheets. An …
