Sep 26, 2025 · Laser forming (LF) has emerged as an effective method to enhance the microstructure and mechanical properties of various alloys by manipulating parameters such as beam diameter, …

The laser forming process offers exceptional control capabilities through precise manipulation of laser beam size and power parameters. This control enables accurate forming process management and …

The laser forming process is accomplished by setting up thermal stresses into a workpiece by irradiation with a laser beam, thus inducing rapid localized heating followed by cooling as the laser energy is …

Nov 4, 2020 · In the laser forming process, the sheet bends only with the laser beam, and no die, punch, or external tools except the mounting fixture are needed for forming.

Laser forming can produce metallic, predetermined shapes with minimal distortion. The process is similar to the well established torch flame bending used on large sheet material in the ship building …

Laser forming is a non-traditional forming process used for flexible fabrication of sheet metal components of different shapes by the controlled defocused laser beam-induced thermal stresses …

Nov 21, 2020 · Forming is another type of process, which can be implemented by laser technology. The workpiece can be a flat plate (sheet) or tube. Laser beam irradiation induces thermal stresses into …

Nov 7, 2020 · Different studies have been carried out over recent years to understand the mechanism of forming and predicting the bending angle. The analysis of process parameters and search for …

Laser-aided forming is used in construction and civil engineering to help in the production of curved steel beam, facade components, and architectural elements with a combination of aesthetic and structural …

Feb 7, 2023 · This chapter deals with a discussion on the basic principles of the laser-forming process. It explains process parameters, and the various mechanisms that underlie the process.
