Process modeling

Computed temperature fields (longitudinal and cross-sectional with respect to processing direction) and corresponding temperature profiles during high-speed laser material treatment (processing speed = 250 m/min) of thin-section steel sheets (thickness = 0.3 mm)

Numerical investigation of the influence of clamping conditions during laser beam welding on local weld temperature fields and cooling-down conditions
Based on our comprehensive experience in theoretical process design and analysis we offer services involving following topics:
- Feasibility analysis of laser-based manufacturing technologies prior and in addition to experimental investigations
- Computation of steady-state and transient temperature fields in workpieces and components, and determination of corresponding heating and cooling profiles
- Simulation of melt pool shape and size in laser based melting processes
- Development of CFD models for numerical analysis of gas flows applied in laser material processing
- Design of experiments and corresponding analysis in combination with numerical and experimental investigations
- Energetic process design and evaluation of particular laser material treatment processes for determinations of power requirements and process efficiencies
