Laser Materials Processing: Proceedings of the 7th International Congress on Applications of Lasers and Electrooptics Icaleo '88. 30 October - 4 November, 1988, Santa Clara, Ca, USA - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

These conference proceedings summarize the latest results of a broad range of laser materials processing research and development. The scope is truly international with work reported from ten different countries. Welding, cladding, cutting, heat treating and advanced processing with lasers are covered by the papers. Laser processing developments are discussed for a wide range of materials including ceramics, steel alloys, titanium alloys, lithium alloys, aluminum alloys, nickel steel based alloys, and plastics. Many equipment developments of current interest are also discussed such as adaptive controls, real time quality sensing and processing devices for welding in confined space envelopes. Readers will be rewarded with a comprehensive update on the subject of materials processing.
