Laser Stamping of Amorphous Alloys for Use in Motors, Transformers and Security Systems

摘要

The purposes of the Phase II program is to suggest a design and optimize a proof-of-concept laser stamping machine for cutting of metallic glasses and other thin materials. The laser parameters and the ribbon material handling system will be controlled by a microprocessor executing multi-variable adaptive control algorithms. Successful completion of the Phase II program objectives would provide the research and development basis for a laser stamping process to manufacture electromagnetic devices such as motors, transformers, and security devices using metallic glasses. Preliminary results are reported. A paper presented at the NSF Manufacturing Systems Research Conference, 'High Speed Laser Machining of Metallic Glasses,' is included.
