An experimental study of sheet metal bending by pulsed Nd:YAG laser with DOE method
Source abstract
Abstract
The laser forming process can be most useful in the automation of sheet metal forming. Threedimensional transient temperature and stress fields complicate the simulation of the process. The aim of this experimental study is to identify the response related to deformation and characterize the effects of process parameters such as laser power, beam diameter, scans velocity and pulse duration, in terms of bending angle for a square sheet part. Extensive experimentation, including a design of experiments, is performed to address the above-mentioned aims. From these experiments it has been determined that laser forming using Nd:YAG laser is a flexible manufacturing process for steel sheet bending.
