SPP 1139:  Extension of the Process Limits in Materials Processing with Laser Radiation

Subject Area Mechanical and Industrial Engineering
Thermal Engineering/Process Engineering
Term from 2002 to 2008
Project identifier Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 5471703
 
The basic physical and chemical processes are investigated, which are interacting during materials processing with laser radiation. The goal is to extend the empirial limits of velocity and precision in processing up to the physical limits by flexible spatial and temporal energy deposition in the material, which allows a defined spatial and temporal modulation of the energy flux density.The goal requires a general understanding of the processes in materials processing for the transition from thermal equilibrium to non-thermal equilibrium with special consideration of non-thermal melts. The melt dynamics plays an important role since it dominates for most of the materials the quality and the efficiency of processing.The topics of research work rely to the following areas:1. Spatial and temporal modulation of the influencing processing parameters as well in the microscopic as in the macroscopic scale taking into account modelling and simulation2. Systematic evaluation of methods and modelling of processes for the extension of the process limits considering reverse engineering and self-learning processes3. Temporal, spatial, and spectral steering of the distribution in energy flux density of the laser radiation for process-adapted energy deposition4. Melt formation and melt flow for the understanding of the free boundary problem5. Kinetics of vaporisation with and without melt formation (see materials) especially for short pulse techniques and intensities < 1015 W/cm²6. Solidification of melt and resulting quality of materials processing, e. g. for cutting, drilling, welding, cladding, generating, and alloying7. Dynamics of heat conduction in the microscopic and macroscopic scale with its influence on quality, efficiency, and velocity of processingThe main emphasis is on materials such as metals, ceramics, polymers, and organics including dimensions above the wavelength of laser radiation used.
