PR: LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES ADDS TWO NEW LENSES TO ITS LONG WAVE INFRARED CATALOG
Friday, November 5, 2010
Seminar TODAY: 11.5.10 / CREOL 102 / 4-5pm / “Additive manufacturing, repair and salvage of turbo machinery components by Laser Metal Deposition”
Seminar: “Additive manufacturing, repair and salvage of turbo machinery components by Laser Metal Deposition”, Dr. Kelbassa CREOL 102 Friday, November 5, 2010 / 4:00-5:00pm
Akad. Oberrat Dr.-Ing. Ingomar Kelbassa

Abstract:
Turbo machinery components such as blade integrated disks (BLISKs) and nozzle guide vanes (NGVs) made from Nickel and Titanium base alloys such as Inconel 718, Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-6246, Ti-17, Mar-M247 and CMSX-4 are predestinated for repair and salvage operations due to their high value.
Currently these components are manufactured by time and cost intensive process chains containing processing steps such as casting, forging, milling, linear friction welding, thermal spraying etc.
The laser additive manufacturing process Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) offers new effective entire process chains by decreasing the number of processing steps as well as by enabling emerging applications for specific process steps. Parts can be repaired which were formally classified as non-repairable and components can be manufactured additively by new process chain designs and new processes.
This talk addresses the pathways from feasibility studies over process developments yielding in certified processes and industrially implemented machines. For BLISK manufacturing the single blades are directly manufactured additively on the disk by LMD. The significant increase of the deposition rate combined with a near-net-shape deposition is realized by the use of up to 10 kW laser power and the first application of a newly-designed LMD head with an integrated zoom-optics. The achievable metallurgical, mechanical - static and dynamic mechanical properties - and geometrical results, the implemented process chains including CAD/CAM/NC-coupling are presented and discussed.

Abstract:
Electronic paper (e-Paper) has drawn much attention for its promise to
curb the overuse of paper, such as printed matters, and office
documents, etc. The one important feature of e-Paper displays is that
they do not require backlight to operate, providing a power saving,
paper-like reading experience. Also, their bi-stability enables zero
power consumption for still image display.
To meet the future needs for digital life style and for ‘greener’
display panels, ITRI has focused research on flexible display
technologies. For digital life, flexible EPD, OLED will address the
portability, while flexible touch is to enhance user-friendly interface.
For ‘green panel,’ large-area, roll-to-roll processable Ch-LCD will
deliver power saving, material and cost advantages.
Biography:
Dr. Janglin (John) Chen is a Vice President of Industrial Technology
Research Institute (ITRI) in Taiwan, and the General Director of
ITRI’s Display Technology Center. Prior to Joining ITRI, Dr. Chen
was a Research Fellow of Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York,
where he held many R&D managerial positions from 1982 to 2006, and is
the author of sixty technical articles, and 33 issued US Patents. A
native of Taiwan, Dr. Chen holds a Bachelor degree from Tsing Hua
University, a Ph.D. degree from Polytechnic University in Brooklyn, New
York, and is a graduate of Stanford Executive Program, Graduate School
of Business, Stanford University.
