Kovalenko V.S.
Laser technology at a new stage of development.
|
3 |
|
The state-of-the-art and prospects of development of laser technologies and equipment for welding, cutting and various types
of hardening treatments are analysed. Extremely high potential of laser processes for advancement of modern science and technology
in the most important industries is shown, and the national experience in this area is noted.

Laser technologies in shipbuilding -reality and prospects.
|
9 |
|
Experience of development and application of laser technologies in shipbuilding, gained in Germany, is generalised. Comparison of
the effectiveness of application of laser technologies and arc processes is made. Examples of the most effective laser
applications in shipbuilding are given.

|
Positive properties of thermal laser technologies, such as cutting, welding, heat treatment, cladding and alloying, are
described. Prospects for using laser technologies in industry of Ukraine are shown. Expediency of further development of some
ingenious scientific-and-technical developments in the field of laser technologies, e.g. amorphization of metal surfaces is
noted. |

Laser welding of aluminium alloys (Review).
|
19 |
|
The brief review is presented about weldability of aluminium alloys using a laser radiation. The effect of different factors
on the stability of penetration of alloys and formation of joints, being free of any most widely spread defects, such as
pores, cracks, oxide inclusions, is shown. The lack of necessary information about the load-carrying capacity of aluminium alloy
joints made by the laser welding under the complex conditions of loading is outlined.

Considered is a separate and combined effect of laser and arc radiation sources in welding of materials. In the latter cases it
is possible to achieve a positive synergic effect, ensuring a simultaneous improvement in quality of joints and high
productivity of the welding process at relatively low costs.

Peculiarities of penetration of metal in laser-arc welding using YAG laser.
|
29 |
|
Simplified model of thermal processes occurring in metal in combined laser-arc welding performed in the thermal conductivity
penetration mode is suggested. The model allows for the effect of contraction of the anode region of the arc as resulting from
laser evaporation of metals. Experimental and numerical investigations into peculiarities of penetration of stainless
steel samples in combined welding using the YAG laser and the argon arc with a non-consumable electrode were conducted. Results
of the calculations are in a sufficiently good agreement with the experimental data.

Assurance of quality of layers made by laser surfacing or strengthening treatment.
|
43 |
|
Method of changing the quality characteristics of surface layers produced by a laser surfacing or strengthening treatment is
suggested. The feasibility of control of the cooling processes of the deposited layers by changing the space distribution of
radiation power in the focusing plane is shown. Unique technical solutions were used for control of the space distribution of the
laser radiation power. |

|
The peculiarities of designing devices for heliowelding are considered. The classification of methods of designing devices of
the mentioned class, including the direct transformation of solar energy, indirect transformation based on using different types of
transducers, as well as combined transformation, is presented. It is shown that the indirect methods on the base of the
photoelectric transducers are most promising at present. The description of a solar battery on the base of modules of the
BFK-8-18 type is given. A schematic diagram of the welding installation is described, in which lead-acid cells, supplying a
resonance transducer, are used as an intermediate accumulator of energy. |
