...Shaoyi Wen; Yung C. Shin Off-axis high power diode laser (HPDL) cladding is commonly used for surface quality enhancement such as coating, part repairing, etc. Although some laser cladding models are available in literature, little has been reported on the modeling of powder flow and molten pool...

... matrices that are the principal components of nanoporous superinsulating materials. We first elaborate samples from different pyrogenic amorphous silica powders that slightly differ one from another in terms of specific surface, nanoparticle diameter, and composition. The various samples are optically...

...K. Dai; X. Li; L. Shaw Thermal analysis of laser densification of a dental porcelain powder bed has been investigated using a three-dimensional thermal finite element model, which encompasses (i) the incoming laser beam power with a Gaussian distribution, (ii) optical pyrometer simulation...
