Issue Highlights:
"Reduced Gap Technology" (RGT) challenges conventional joint design principles
In narrow gap welding, the groove angle is typically less than 20° instead of the normal 45 to 60°. This decreases the number of weld passes needed to complete the joint, and it reduces the welding time and the cons...
"LASER World of PHOTONICS 2017" - Entering new dimensions of industrial production with Photonics 4.0
Laser technology and modern sensors are paving the way to digital production. Thanks to Photonics 4.0 simulation, digital design and real production processes are growing ever closer together. During the leading wor...
Additive manufacturing using selective electron beam melting
Additive manufacturing encompasses all the procedures which build up a component layer by layer on the basis of a three-dimensional computer model. Additive building-up permits complex geometrical shapes which are su...
