Project description
Beam shaping technology to optimise material processing
Beam shaping technology is critical for laser cutting and welding applications, allowing controllable beam shape, frequency and focus steering. The EU-funded CUSTODIAN project will investigate disruptive methods for tailoring energy delivery of laser beams. Advanced simulation and microstructural analyses will allow researchers to adapt the geometry and power distribution of the laser beam. By reproducing the optimal thermal cycle for each material, their work will help ensure a high-quality and defect-free outcome. The new methodology will be applied to welding of austenitic steel sheets for the automotive industry, laser cutting of steels and powder bed fusion of nickel-based alloys for power generation applications.
