Fundamentals and Details of Laser Welding

Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering Series Editor Carlos P. Bergmann, Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil

“Topics in Mining, Metallurgy and Materials Engineering” welcomes manuscripts in these three main focus areas: Extractive Metallurgy/Mineral Technology; Manufacturing Processes, and Materials Science and Technology. Manuscripts should present scientific solutions for technological problems. The three focus areas have a vertically lined multidisciplinarity, starting from mineral assets, their extraction and processing, their transformation into materials useful for the society, and their interaction with the environment.

Preface

The word “laser” named by Mr. Gordon Gould, USA, is the acronym of “Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation”. Laser is artificially made light of electromagnetic waves. A laser beam can be focused to a small spot through lenses or mirrors, and consequently becomes an extremely high power-density heat-source. It can easily heat, melt, and/or evaporate any metals, ceramics, plastics, and so on
