METALWORKING APPLICATIONS OF LASERS: AN ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY,

Abstract

Applications of lasers in metalworking are re ported with excerpts, summaries and quotations pointing out the most relevant information in the items reviewed. Metalworking applications include welding, machining, piercing and drill ing, melting and vaporizing, fabrication of re fractory materials, and the microwelding and micromachining of fragile components and inter connections for electronics and optical communi cations uses. Measuring and gaging applications, high speed photography, high temperature testing of materials characteristics are other likely applications mentioned. References are made also to safety precautions for lse, and to components and equipment now available for experimental or shop use. (Author)
