Abstract |
|
In the present paper a review for a novel technique to form metal by laser is presented. Basically metal shaping by Laser is non-contact method in which laser beam is used as energy source and by inducing thermal stress in material; we can form material in different shapes. The importance of laser forming lies in its capability to form low ductility metal and with high accuracy of positioning which normally not possible in conventional forming process which uses mechanical tool. In this paper different experimental result of laser forming technique is presented so that one can easily analyze the laser forming technique and its capability and limitations. The important parameters which influence process results are laser beam diameter, sheet thickness, laser input power, scan speed and material properties. By suitably choosing above parameters 2D and 3D geometry had been formed from sheet metal. |
