Laser scanning confocal microscopy for 3D surface mapping
Lapšanská, Hana ; Schovánek, Petr
This contribution introduces a modern microscopic method and shows possible measurements and analysis of wire saw machined glass pieces. The main objective of realized measurements is to identify possible defects and its depth to propose eventual additional treatment. We are looking for the optimal technological procedure of grooved glass stick-on supports preparation. Such supports are used for the very thin accurate optical components production which is executed in our workshops and laboratories. Surface quality of the support significantly influences the quality of produced optical components.

FEM simulation of pulsed laser seam welding
Lapšanská, Hana ; Havelková, Martina ; Chmelíčková, Hana
Welding simulations became very popular in last years because they can provide us with much interesting information about the internal material processes or heat source – material interactions. Usually continual seam welding was simulated. Since the pulsed laser welding systems were developed and disseminated, the need of pulsed welding simulations came out. Finite element SYSWELD welding simulation tool was adapted to model and simulate pulsed laser seam welding, also called spot overlapping welding. This paper describes basic principles of such simulation and shows some of its possible outputs.

Laser welding of stainless steel tubes
Chmelíčková, Hana ; Lapšanská, Hana ; Hiklová, Helena ; Havelková, Martina
Laser axial welding is a modern method of production of tubes with seam which are mainly used in automotive and food-processing industry. Welding experiments with AISI 304L stainless steel sheet were conducted using continual high power CO2 laser with maximal power 5 kW. The aim of these experiments was to evaluate the effect of processing parameters on weld dimensions and surface properties. Subjected parameters were laser power, shielding gas flow and its composition. Modern contact profilometry was applied to display weld surfaces. Metallographic specimens of weld cross sections were prepared to measure the weldarea. Temperature field distribution was modeled using finite element software SYSWELD.

Optimalizace parametrů laserového přetavování povrchu
Chmelíčková, Hana ; Kaňa, J. ; Hiklová, Helena ; Lapšanská, Hana ; Havelková, Martina
Laser beam with power density 102 W.mm-2 causes metal surface melting without material vaporization. Temperature gradient between melted spot centre and solid state boundary is formed, surface structure is changed. Cooling rate affects melted zone microstructure. In result, surface quality, porosity, homogenization, mechanical and chemical resistivity are improved. Laser melting parameters optimization of steel samples was made by means of pulsed solid state laser with average power 100 W. Energy, pulse length, feed speed and laser beam diameter were subsequently changed. Melted traces on steel surface were analyzed to discover microstructure and dimensions of affected zones. Result dependence on process parameters was evaluated and optimal parameters were chosen.
