Abstract
Spinning of stainless steel (AISI 304), magnesium alloy (ASTM AZ31B) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) plates is tried with diode laser. The sizes of the plate are 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 mm in thickness and 70 and 100 mm in diameter. The laser beams of maximum power of 140 W are irradiated on the portions of 1, 2, 3 mm away from the periphery of disk plates. AISI 304 plate of 0.3 mm thick can be formed into a head plate of a diameter of 67 mm with a height 2.0 mm; the bending angle is about 90 degrees. It is difficult to form titanium alloy plates. Magnesium alloy plates are easily formed; however, the surface layer is melted. The spinning characteristics are discussed for AISI 304.Spinning of stainless steel (AISI 304), magnesium alloy (ASTM AZ31B) and titanium alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) plates is tried with diode laser.
