SUMMARY:Lasers in Low Carbon Energy - AILU workshop
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n  \n \n  \n  \n\n  \n  \nIntroduction\n \nChair: Tian Long See (MTC) \nEnergy generation requires radical transformation globally between now and 2030 due to more rigorous climate targets set by the UK government and around the world. This has presented huge challenges in terms of material resources\, manufacturing\, installation\, servicing as well as infrastructure. There are several different types of renewable energy with their own sets of unique challenges when it comes to manufacturing and infrastructure needs. For example\, wind and solar energy are not continuous and therefore require power storage (through batteries) as well as base level generation (nuclear power in the short term fusion energy in the longer term). On top of this we have existing nuclear power stations which take decades to decommission. \nNew technology in laser joining\, cutting\, texturing\, hardening\, cladding and shock peening (to name a few) are addressing some of the issues in manufacturing and decommissioning. Lasers will be a part of the landscape of Low Carbon energy generation. This workshop will address some of the areas where lasers are already being applied\, or need to address in future years. \nThis workshop will set out the needs and give case studies of existing applications in the field. It is ideal for researchers\, manufacturers\, integrators and end-users of the technology to learn about the leading edge of laser material processing technology in this field. \nThe 2023 AILU AGM will follow this workshop\, from 14:30 – 15:30 (see here). \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:00  Registration \n10:00 – 10:10 Welcome\nTian Long See\, Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) \nSession 1\n \n10:10 – 10:30  Net Zero: Targets\, Progress & How Industrial Lasers Contribute\nDave MacLellan\, AILU \n10:30 – 10:50  High Heat Flux Lasers in Nuclear Fusion Engineering\nPetros Efthymiou\, UKAE \n10:50 – 11:10  Controlling Hazardous Fume for Decommissioning\nLewis Jones\, Loughborough University \n11:10 AM – 11:40  Break \nSession 2 \n11:40 – 12:00 Laser Welding for Electrification\nPaola De Bono\, TWI \n12:00 – 12:20  Laser Processing in Battery Production – Status Quo & Future Perspectives\nJohannes Kriegler\, Technical University\, Munich \n12:20 – 13:00  Discussion Session \n13:00 – 14:15  Lunch \n14:30 AILU AGM (optional) \n\n  \nVenue\nPost code for Sat Nav: S60 5TZ \nAMP Technology Centre\nAdvanced Manufacturing Park\nBrunel Way\nRotherham\nSouth Yorkshire\nS60 5WG \nT: +44(0)114 254 1200 \nSee here for more travel information \n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________ \nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event

SUMMARY:AILU Workshop: High Power Laser Welding
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by\n  \n \n  \n\nIntroduction\nChair: Wojciech Suder (Cranfield University) \nWith high power fibre lasers now well-established as the laser of choice for welding metals\, the thickness of laser welds in all metals is increasing. Keyhole welding\, with or without the assistance of arc welding (to make hybrid welds) is possible in material greater than 50 mm thick. On the other hand\, the high power lasers are capable of welding smaller thicknesses at very high speeds\, opening up new applications involving high quality and high throughput reflective metals like copper and aluminium. \nThis workshop is aimed at sharing the latest results from researchers and manufacturers in the field of laser welding in the multi-kW regime. As price per watt continues to fall and wall-plug efficiency improves\, the inherent viability of laser welding and the ease with which it can be automated makes it more and more the process of choice. \nA range of speakers will present and exhibitors offering products to this market will be on hand to share information about their capabilities.  The MTC is located conveniently for the M6 motorway\, between Coventry and Rugby and delegates will be able to tour the facilities at the end of the workshop. \n  \nProgramme\n09:30 – 10:00  Registration \n10:00  – 10:10   Welcome & Introduction\nWojciech Suder\, Cranfield University  \n10:10 – 10:30  Insight into the latest material joining development at the MTC\nKevin Withers\, MTC \n10:30 – 10:50   Overview of Laser Welding – When to use it and when not\nGoncalo Pardal\, Cranfield University \n10:50 – 11:10   Utilising laser beam shaping technology to improve weld quality in high volume manufacturing for E mobility\nPasquale Franciosa\, Warwick University   \n11:10 – 11:40   Break \n11:40 – 12:00  Dynamic Beam Lasers opening new parameters for laser welding\nMeir Giladi\, Civan Lasers\, Israel  \n12:00 – 12:20   High Power Laser Welding of Copper with and without Ultrasound\nPhil Carr\, Carrs Welding \n12:20 – 12:40  Using laser welding to manufacture industrial machine drive belts\nPeter Brown\, Laser Additive Solutions \n12:40 – 13:50   Lunch \n13:50 – 14:10  Laser Welding for Fusion Machines\nTristan Tremethick\, UKAEA \n14:10 – 14:30  A comparison of the electron beam welding and laser in vacuum welding process for low-medium penetration applications\nMax Nentwich\, Cambridge Vacuum Engineering \n14:30 – 14:50  Industrial laser cladding with metal cored wires\nJihane Guenoun\, Welding Alloys\,  \n14:50 – 15:20   Break \n15:20 – 15:40 Beam Shaping Enhancements for Laser Welding\nCallum Wreford\, PowerPhotonic \n15:40 – 16:00   International Training & Qualification for high Power Laser Welding\nEurico Assuncao\, EWF\, Portugal \nTour of MTC \n  \nVenue\nManufacturingTechnology Centre (MTC)\nAnsty Park\nCoventry\nCV7 9JU \nGetting to the MTC \n\nLocation/parking\nMTC Location/parking \n  \nMain image courtesy Cranfield University

SUMMARY:Laser Surface Texturing
DESCRIPTION:Event Sponsors\n  \n \n  \n  \n  \n\n  \nIntroduction\n \nChair: David Waugh (Coventry University) \nLaser surface texturing is being applied to more and more applications\, as the technology to treat surfaces improves and treatment rates increase the process is becoming more cost-effective.  In this workshop\, we will have presentations from industry on the laser and optical tools that are used to apply textures\, as well as from research organisations with experience of applying the latest know-how to speed up the process and apply it to new materials and applications. \nThe use of laser surfaces can be for modifying the wettability (making surfaces attract or repel water droplets) or the tribology (modifying the performance of a surface regarding friction or wear) or the optical reflectivity of surfaces (changing colour or contrast). These surfaces can be used in applications as diverse as biomedical\, surgical implants\, aircraft surfaces\, engine and gear train components\, white goods and currency or luxury goods. \nAs well as providing a forum to exchange ideas\, this physical workshop (at Cranfield University) will be backed up by a range of industrial exhibitors and networking opportunities over lunch and coffee breaks. \nSome of the speakers and delegates for this event will join via Zoom to take advantage of the hybrid nature of the workshop\, which makes it easy for international attendance and positions it at the centre of this topic with a range of international speakers from Europe and further afield. \n  \n  \nProgramme\n09.30 – 10.00   Registration and Refreshments \n10.00 – 10.10   Welcome & Introduction\nDavid Waugh\, Coventry University (UK) \n10.10 – 10.30  The Frictional Performance of Laser Textured Sintered  Carbide Cutting Tools\nPaul Butler-Smith\, Manufacturing Technology Centre (UK) \n10.30 – 10.50  Innovative applied surface structures in the electronic assembly industry\nFraser Shaw\, Watt Laser (UK) \n10.50 – 11.20  Harnessing the power of diffractive optics to enable high throughput laser surface texturing\nNatan Kaplan\, HoloOr (Israel) \n11.20 – 11.50  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking  \n11.50 – 12.10  Laser-enabled Surface Engineering: Technology Advances in Addressing Industry Applications and Process Requirements\nStefan Dimov\, Birmingham University (UK) \n12.10 – 12.30  A roadmap for mass production of USP-laser textured surfaces\nGirolamo Mincuzzi\, ALPhANOV (France) \n12.30 – 12.50  Multi-beam processing with the next generation of high intensity laser systems\nDanijela Rostohar\, HiLASE (Czech) \n12.50 – 14.00  Lunch & Networking with Delegates & Exhibitors \n14.00 – 14.20  Laser surface engineering: from diamond to polymer\nManuela Pacella\, Loughborough University (UK) \n14.20 – 14.40  Exceeding the state of the art in Direct Laser Interference Patterning\nSabri Alamri\, Fusion Bionic (Germany) \n14.40 – 15.00  Laser engineering and functionalization of biomimetic surfaces\nEmmanuel Stratakis\, Biomimetic (Greece) \n15.00 – 15.30  Break – Tea\, Coffee & Networking \n15.30 – 15.50  Fibre-based Mach-Zehnder interferometer manufacturing using UV femtosecond laser pulses\nKamile Kasaciunaite\, Light Conversion (Lithuania) \n15.50 – 16.10  Beam Shaping Options for Improving Throughput in Laser Surface Texturing\nSteve Kidd\, PowerPhotonic (UK) \n16.10  Close \n\n  \nLocation\nPlease click image below to open pdf (N.B .this is a 2-page document) \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nVenue\nCranfield Management Development Centre\, Bedfordshire\, MK43 0HG \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nNearby accommodation \nThe Swan Revived Hotel\n33 High Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 8AR \n+44 (0) 1908 610565\ninfo@swanrevived.co.uk\nhttps://www.swanrevived.co.uk/ \n  \nHarben House Hotel\nTickford Street\nNewport Pagnell\nMK16 9EY \n+44 (0) 1908 215600\nsales@harbenhouse.co.uk\nhttps://www.harbenhouse.co.uk/ \n  \n\n  \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________ \nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event \n

SUMMARY:AILU Event: Low-Carbon Laser Manufacturing Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Sponsored by: \n \n \n  \n  \n  \n\nFREE TO ATTEND \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nIntroduction\nChair: Lewis Jones\, Loughborough University \nLaser manufacturing in industry has a challenging future ahead as we see the need to implement strategies to reach net zero by 2050. \nAt present the transition to net zero manufacturing is optional\, but this is rapidly becoming essential. \nCompanies need to pursue innovations in manufacturing technology while developing their knowledge and capability to compete in net zero and low carbon manufacturing. This requires companies to innovate under low carbon manufacturing. \nJoin us to discuss sustainable manufacturing and the innovations we have been working on at Manchester and Loughborough in laser cleaning and welding and to understand how to model and reduce energy consumption and Scope 2 emissions while maximising productivity. Scope 2 emissions are indirect greenhouse gas emissions for the energy used by organisations. Companies have to quantify\, aggregate and reduce Scope 1 and 2 (direct and indirect) emissions for net zero manufacturing. \nResearch undertaken by The University of Manchester together with Loughborough University and other partners will be presented in this sponsored webinar. \n  \nObjectives and workshop learning outcomes\n\nTo provide a methodology for analysing the energy consumption and carbon emissions for laser material processing.\nTo provide participants with key innovations in laser cleaning and welding and ideas for rapid processing with reduced energy consumption and emissions.\nTo road test and seek stakeholder input on the energy and emissions modelling framework.\n\n  \nProgramme\n14:00 – 14:10    Lewis Jones (Loughborough University)\nChair Introduction to session and online poll \n14:10 – 14:15    Lin Li (University of Manchester)\nWelcome from Professor of Laser Material Processing \n14:15 – 14:25   Paul Mativenga (University of Manchester)\nHow to make manufacturing sustainable in a net zero economy  \n14:25 – 14:35    Nick Goffin (Loughborough University)\nUnderstanding your laser system: ways to improve energy efficiency \n14:35 – 14:45    Jinglei Ouyang (University of Manchester)\nInnovations in laser cleaning and how to model and reduce energy and emissions  \n14:45 – 14:55     John Tyrer (Loughborough University)\nLaser safety in a net zero context \n14:55 – 15:05    Jinglei Ouyang/Paul Mativenga (University of Manchester)\nReusing cutting tools in a circular economy: lifecycle assessment and the role of laser cleaning \n15:05 – 15:15     Elliot Woolley (Loughborough University)\nDiscussion: Concluding poll and questions \n15:15 – 15:20     Lewis Jones (Loughborough University)\nClosing comments \n  \nFREE REGISTRATION \n \n  \nREGISTER HERE\n  \nFunding and research for this event has been made possible by the EPSRC; grant number EP/S018190/1 “Research on the theory and key technology of laser processing and system optimisation for low carbon manufacturing (LASER-BEAMS)”. \nAILU EVENT T&Cs\nSee AILU Event Terms and Conditions here.\n____________________________________\nBy registering for this meeting you agree that you are happy for AILU and Sponsors to contact you after the event
