LASER WELDING AND MATERIAL PROCESSING

Research is being conducted on the use of lasers for welding and cutting metals and ceramics and also for melting powders to coat expensive bearing parts. Pulsed lasers, such as a femtosecond laser, provide unique capabilities for micromachining and laser processing. Lasers within this laboratory include a 1.6 kW CO2 laser, two 750 mJ pulsed excimer lasers, a 20 microjoule femtosecond laser, and a 550 mJ pulsed Nd:YAG laser.
