The challenges of welding thick materials have long dictated the pace and approach of industrial manufacturing processes. Traditional methods, reliant on multi-pass welds and beveling, can be exhausting and inefficient. The depth achievable in one pass typically ranges up to 15-20mm, necessitating multiple passes—up to 30 times for a 50mm section—making the process notably time-consuming and material-intensive. In the past year, significant progress have been made by Civan Lasers, who have dedicated their efforts to develop and refine welding processes for thick materials using Dynamic Beam Lasers (DBL). This technology now meets industry standards through the qualification of the welding processes. The Shortcomings of Traditional Welding Traditional multi-pass and beveling methods for welding thick sections are plagued with inefficiencies. These processes often result in increased welding volume, which in turn consumes more time and materials. Common welding defects in such thick sections include spatter, porosity, underfill, concavity, and cracks induced by cooling. These defects primarily arise from issues like keyhole collapse and uncontrolled melt pool dynamics, exacerbated by rapid and uncontrolled cooling rates.   The DBL Advantage Dynamic Beam Lasers introduce a new era in welding technology. DBLs offer unique features that significantly mitigate common welding defects by enhancing fluid dynamics, keyhole stability, weld geometry, and controlling solidification and cooling rates. The technology boasts a large depth of focus and focus steering capabilities as well as beam steering, which enable it to maintain stability over varied gap sizes up to 2mm, crucial for welding thick sections. Furthermore, DBL’s remote operation feature allows welding from meters away, providing protection of the laser optics. Impressive Welding Results Civan Lasers has demonstrated remarkable success in welding applications across various materials and industries. For instance, DBL has shown excellent results in welding mild steel, particularly in constructing ship panels and wind tower structures. In stainless steel, DBL has proven effective for applications in power generation and pressure vessels, showcasing superior strength and durability. Aluminum, particularly in the 5xxx series, has been successfully used in ship panel construction, highlighting DBL’s versatility and capability in handling different materials and applications. Looking Ahead: The Future of DBL Welding The potential for Dynamic Beam Lasers in industrial applications of thick sections is vast and still unfolding. Future plans include qualifying more weld types in thicker thicknesses and wider range of materials. There are plans to harness higher power settings of up to 120kW, pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved in welding technology.

As the battery industry continues to evolve and expand, the demand for batteries capable of handling higher power inputs has surged. This is particularly evident in sectors such as E-planes, E- boats and renewable energy storage. A critical component in achieving these high-power requirements is the use of bus bars, which are essentially conductive bars used to distribute power across different sections of a battery or between batteries. The Shift to Higher Voltage and Thicker Bus Bars To accommodate the need for higher power input, there's been a marked shift towards managing higher voltages within battery systems. This adjustment necessitates the use of thicker bus bars. Thicker bus bars are instrumental in handling the increased electrical load without overheating or losing efficiency. Copper, known for its excellent conductivity and durability, is the material of choice for these bus bars. However, welding thick copper bus bars, especially those above 4 mm in thickness, presents significant challenges.   Challenges in Welding Thick Copper Welding thick copper is a complex task, primarily because most conventional lasers struggle to achieve a robust process that meets the necessary quality standards for such materials. The challenges are manifold: High Thermal Conductivity: Copper's high thermal conductivity complicates the welding process by dissipating heat rapidly, making it difficult to maintain the high temperatures needed for keyhole weld. Thickness Challenges: When the copper's thickness exceeds 4mm, these challenges become even more pronounced, making it difficult to achieve consistent and high-quality welds and requiring higher power levels. Blowholes & Porosity: porosity in common to find in copper welds. Blowholes are a specific type of porosity that occurs when larger gas pockets get trapped in the weld. These defects are particularly problematic in thick copper welding because of the metal's high thermal conductivity and the large volume of material. Managing the welding atmosphere and parameters is crucial to minimize the risk of blowholes.   A Breakthrough with Civan's Dynamic Beam Laser Despite these obstacles, recent advancements have paved the way for significant improvements in welding thick copper bus bars. A notable breakthrough has been achieved by Civan's Dynamic Beam Laser technology. This innovative approach has demonstrated the capability to weld copper with a thickness of 4.6 mm, maintaining high quality throughout the process.   Civan's Dynamic Beam Laser technology stands out because it offers a large parameter window, allowing for greater flexibility and control over the welding process.

Prof. Kristiansen's research journey has been anchored in the history of using beam shapes for welding, cutting, and fabrication. His extensive experience in this domain has prepared him to fully grasp the immense potential of beam shaping in these applications. However, in the past, the possibilities of beam shaping were hampered by two major constraints: time and cost. Traditionally, creating a new beam shape required the design of Diffraction Optical Element, each of which was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Researchers like Assoc. Prof. Kristiansen were confined by the limitations of their available beam shapes, which hindered the exploration of innovative solutions to critical problems. The arrival of the Dynamic Beam Laser in Assoc. Prof. Kristiansen's laboratory marked a turning point. This cutting-edge technology allows researchers to design and implement new beam shapes in a matter of minutes, compared to the months it took previously. The implications for research are profound, as it drastically shortens the development time and opens up new avenues for exploration. One area where Assoc. Prof. Kristiansen sees immense potential for implementing beam shaping is in the welding of thick sections. Welding thick sections often leads to challenges such as cracks and porosity. These issues are well-understood, and beam shaping offers a unique opportunity to control the heat profile and melt pool dynamics. For instance, one innovative idea is to create a beam shape with a leading edge that can clean the weld seam, prevent contamination, and pre-heat the welded area, mitigating common welding problems. Another intriguing application that had been explored in the past with limited success due to constrained beam shapes is remote cutting. By using specific beam shapes, it becomes possible to generate pressure that aids in ejecting molten material during cutting operations, potentially revolutionizing this process. Assoc. Prof. Kristiansen's laboratory is currently in the construction stages but has already yielded promising results. Initial trials have demonstrated that different beam shapes can significantly influence various parameters, including heat profiles, melt pool dynamics, and spatter formation. These findings are setting the stage for further groundbreaking research.       One of the primary objectives of Assoc. Prof. Kristiansen's lab is to serve as a hub for both students and industry professionals.

Civan Lasers, a leading Laser manufacturer based on Coherent Beam Combining (CBC), has announced the successful development of a 500W Single Mode Continuous Wave 532nm laser, marking a world record for such a laser type. This green laser stands apart from others on the market because of its exceptional beam quality, a feature hard to attain with current laser technologies. While traditional lasers try to get high brightness by pushing power through a single crystal channel, risking damage over time, our laser employs the Coherent Beam Combining (CBC) method. This approach combines multiple lasers into one coherent beam without the need to danger single crystal, ensuring longer-lasting and dependable performance. Coherent Beam Combining (CBC) brings a suite of advantages: it can produce high-power CW Single Mode beams, offers scalability for even greater power levels, and introduces power modulation capabilities - a significant advancement given that 532nm lasers typically require stable crystal temperatures. With CBC, this dependency is eliminated. Furthermore, CBC provides the versatility of delivering green with IR, paving the way for diverse material processing applications. The laser was conceived and developed as part of the EUREKA project "CBC-Green", a collaborative effort involving Fraunhofer IWS, Siemens, and Thyssenkrupp ( Link for project description ). Following its development, the laser will be sent to Fraunhofer IWS. There, they will spearhead the process development for Siemens and Thyssenkrupp and further explore the laser's capabilities and potential applications. The high-power Single Mode Continuous Wave (SM CW) green laser shows great promise in a range of material processing applications. These include welding highly reflective materials such as copper, welding in the semiconductor domain—particularly chip-to-wafer welding, which could serve as an alternative to traditional wire bonding processes—and Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) of copper. While these are some of the immediate applications identified, the scope of this laser technology is vast. Its potential stretches beyond what is currently known, suggesting that there are still uncharted territories and innovative applications awaiting discovery. The trajectory of development for the green laser product is ongoing.

In the realm of laser technology, beam shaping is a vital component for various applications. Dynamic Beam Laser is revolution in it's capabilities and simplicity of generating new beam shapes. The shape generation software is the tool provided with the laser that allows users to easily generate and optimize new beam shapes. The latest version which is result of users feedback offers a new set of tools, to make it even easier. This software not only enables users to design and load new beam shapes effortlessly but also introduces a range of innovative features to optimize power density measurement, streamline beam shape order control, and simplify the overall beam shaping process. A first improvement is the ability to measure the power density at different areas of the beam shape. Power density is determined by focal length and power level, which can be easily changed. One option is to view the power density at a specific point. A second option is to see the power density in a particular area. By doing this, users can plan the shape with the optimal distribution of power. A new feature also allows users to see how beam shapes are generated from different points. Since shapes are generated by jumping between points and the power density is different at every point due to diffraction. This new feature will provide users with a very intuitive and easy way to view the average power as well as the power distribution at each individual point. As well as controlling the direction of movement of a beam shape, it is also possible to control its order of movement. It is possible to create a continuous motion or a random motion. Depending on the application, both options have advantages. It is now even easier to control the order with the new buttons. The R key changes the order of starting from the end to the start. In other words, if I have a circle that goes with the clock, after pressing R it will go against it. A second new button is M/E, M- which means that points will be added after the order chosen if one wants to add points to an existing shape. The letter E indicates that it will be added at the end. There are several options available to shorten the time it takes to generate a new beam shape. For a circle, all that needs to be defined is the number of points and the radius. A spiral can be easily customized by defining the number of points, the number of circles, and the power (0.1 - 0.9) that is desired in the spiral. Square - choose length and number of points. There is a lot of flexibility with polygons. First choose the number of points, then select the points that the path goes through. Last but not least, you can edit the existing shape by clicking edit and either moving or copying sections.

In this regard, IFSW presented a groundbreaking study that utilized a sequence of beam shapes to influence fluid velocity during the welding process. By carefully manipulating the laser beam, researchers were able to present methods to overcome cracking issues in high-strength aluminum, opening up new possibilities for industrial applications that demand the use of this material. Reducing Cracks and Spatter in Al 6xxx Welding BBW Lasertechnik, a prominent job shop in the automotive and aerospace industry, focused their efforts on welding Al 6xxx without cracks and excessive pores. Traditionally, a compromise had to be made between crack reduction and pore free. However, through experimentation and parameter optimization, BBW Lasertechnik successfully discovered a set of parameters that minimize both cracks and pores, revolutionizing the welding process for Al 6xxx and expanding its practical usage across industries. Welding Aluminum Die Cast Components The utilization of Dynamic Beam Lasers has revolutionized the welding process for aluminum die cast components, leading to significant advancements. These components serve a critical function in electric vehicles (EVs), such as heat exchangers and camera module closures. existing joining methods like riveting, friction stir welding, or electron beam welding not only consume time but also incur high costs. However, the implementation of Dynamic Beam Lasers has successfully addressed the challenges of pore formation and blow holes commonly associated with laser welding of aluminum die cast components. This has been accomplished by stirring the melt-pool, allowing the pores to rise to the surface and exit the fluid, while also employing beam shapes that elongate the melt-pool and provide trapped gas bubbles with ample time to rise and evaporate. This remarkable achievement has effectively eliminated pores, resulting in exceptional welding quality for aluminum die cast components. Advancements in Welding Galvanized Steel Another intriguing application of Dynamic Beam Lasers lies in the welding of galvanized steel. The existing welding process for galvanized steel involves a dimple process to generate a gap, which helps prevent spatter and blowholes during welding. However, with the introduction of Dynamic Beam Lasers, this multi-step process can be avoided. The laser's dynamic capabilities enable it to weld galvanized steel in a single stage, eliminating the need for additional steps and ensuring a defect-free weld. This advancement not only saves time but also enhances the overall efficiency and reliability of the welding process for galvanized steel. Welding Dissimilar materials Dynamic Beam Lasers have also demonstrated their capabilities in welding Al-Cu alloys, particularly for bus bar applications. Bus bars are vital components used for electrical power distribution in various industries.
