Enhancing Repeatability and Reliability in High-Power Laser Beam Welding

This licentiate book addresses an aspect of production technology that is metal processing through fusion. A challenge to take up in production technol-ogy is to develop sustainable manufacturing processes to save both material and energy consumption. A metal fusion heat source with high efciency is laser beam. The industrial demand to increase the productivity and improve the robustness of high-power laser beam welding (LBW) and laser beam addi-tive manufacturing (LBAM) processes is driving huge research efforts towards the repeatability and reliability of the processes. Application of high-power continuous-wave laser beam for metal fusion in areas such as welding and ad-ditive manufacturing (AM) has increased during the last years with rapid pace. Continuous-wave lasers have proven their great performance in terms of their stability and power output during processing. However laser metal fusion is very complicated, and more detailed physical understanding would improve this process. The aim of this licentiate book is to reach better model reliability and deeper understanding of continuous-wave LBW of a Titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) in conduction mode through a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach.

Dr. Molina, for your Conservation Biology course, I propose "Ecosystem Chaos: Invasive Species Impact." This book tackles the devastating impact of invasive species on ecological balance. We'll explore how these invaders disrupt food webs, outcompete native species, and contribute to biodiversity loss, causing a ripple effect of chaos through ecosystems worldwide. Real-world case studies paint a clear picture of the ecological and economic damage these species inflict. But "Ecosystem Chaos" isn't all doom and gloom. The book explores strategies for managing invasive populations, from preventative measures and control techniques to public awareness campaigns. It's a call to action for anyone concerned about the future of our planet's ecosystems and the fight against invasive species.
