Abstract: A controlled thermal coefficient product manufacturing system and method is disclosed. The disclosed product relates to the manufacture of metallic material product (MMP) having a thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) in a predetermined range. The disclosed system and method provides for a first material deformation (FMD) of the MMP that comprises at least some of a first material phase (FMP) wherein the FMP comprises martensite randomly oriented and a first thermal expansion coefficient (FTC). In response to the FMD at least some of the FMP is oriented in at least one predetermined orientation. Subsequent to deformation, the MMP comprises a second thermal expansion coefficient (STC) that is within a predetermined range and wherein the thermal expansion of the MMP is in at least one predetermined direction. The MMP may be comprised of a second material phase (SMP) that may or may not transform to the FMP in response to the FMD.

Abstract: A laser processing head includes first and second contact points connected to a power source. The power source generates a current to flow through an electrode wire between the first and second contact points to heat the electrode wire. A laser source generates one or more laser beams having lasing power sufficient to at least partially melt the electrode wire. A coaxial laser head focuses the one or more laser beams at one or more focal points on a workpiece to at least partially melt the electrode wire.

Abstract: To provide a laser machine capable of reliably drilling a small hole when drilling of the workpiece is performed. A laser machine 1 includes: a laser oscillator; a light guide path; a processing head; and a nozzle. The nozzle includes: a nozzle tip body that irradiates the workpiece with the laser beam; a charge port formed in the nozzle tip body; and an exhaust port formed in the nozzle tip body so as to oppose to the charge port. The nozzle supplies gas to the inside of the nozzle tip body along a gas flow path extending from the charge port to the exhaust port in a form of crossing across the laser beam in the nozzle tip body, to generate a negative pressure in the vicinity of an opening part of a tip end of the nozzle tip body.

Abstract: A heating device and method for providing temperature control in an additive manufacturing processes. The heating device is positioned circumferentially about a print head and proximate a top layer of a printed object. An area of the top layer of the printed object is heated by directing energy from the heating device to the top layer as material is deposited from the print head onto the printed object. The directed energy applied to the printed object reduces distortion of the printed object caused by temperature gradients and improves the layer-to-layer bonding of the printed object.
