BA/MA in the field of beam shaping
In cooperation with the Chair of Laser Technology LLT, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT offers the opportunity to write a thesis. The trend towards hydrogen technology requires the efficient production of bipolar plates. A gas-tight plate is produced from two stainless steel half-shells. Due to the complex contour and long connection, laser beam welding is used here. The quality of the weld seam is crucial for efficient production and must be controlled. The focus of this work is on the variation of the beam profile, starting from the classic circle to flow-adapted geometries, in order to influence the heat conduction and the weld pool dynamics. This can be realized, for example, by means of a doubled setup or a ring-mode laser. Previous knowledge of laser technology is desirable, but not a prerequisite for carrying out this work.
