History of Lasers

Image
  Lasers have been hailed as one of the great inventions of the twentieth century, following nuclear power, computers, and semiconductors, and have brought about a great technological breakthrough for mankind. The laser radiation produced by lasers is famous for being the "fastest blade", the "most accurate ruler" and the "brightest light". Nowadays, laser technology plays an important role in many fields such as medicine, the military industry, communications, and so on.   The birth of the laser is the result of the tireless efforts and arduous exploration of many scientists.   In 1917, Albert Einstein proposed the concept of "stimulated radiation", which laid the cornerstone for the theoretical foundation of lasers.   Although the theory of lasers had already been proposed at that time, the actual preparation of lasers was quite challenging. By the 1950s, with the progress of photon and microwave technology, the manufacture of an oscillator cap...

5 Solutions for Laser Welding Defects

Image
With the development of industrial manufacturing in the direction of high-end, intelligent, green, new energy vehicles, lithium batteries, semiconductors, and emerging markets demand-driven, the demand for laser welding has been continuously stimulated, the scope of application and the market continues to expand. Especially in the fields of consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, and other fields, the requirements for laser welding are becoming more and more high, providing a huge market space for laser welding. However, any processing method without a good grasp of its principles and processes will produce certain defects or defective products, laser welding is no exception. Only a good understanding of these defects, and learning how to avoid producing these defects, in order to better utilize the value of laser welding, processing the appearance of fine, high-quality products. MAX  welding application engineers through the accumulation of long-term experience, summed up some ...

Laser Rust Removal vs. High Pressure Water Gun Rust Removal, which is better?

Image
  The principle of laser rust removal is laser cleaning   The process of pulsed Nd: YAG laser cleaning depends on the characteristics of the light pulses generated by the laser and is based on a photophysical reaction caused by the interaction between the high-intensity light beam, the short-pulsed laser light, and the contaminated layer. The physical principle can be summarized as follows:   a) The beam emitted by the laser is absorbed by the contaminated layer on the surface to be treated. b) The absorption of the large energy creates a rapidly expanding plasma (highly ionized unstable gas), which generates a shock wave. c) The shock wave causes the contaminants to fragment and be removed. d) The width of the light pulse must be short enough to avoid the heat buildup that destroys the treated surface. e) Experiments have shown that plasma is generated on metal surfaces when oxides are present on the surface.   Plasma is only generated at energy densities above a t...
