Laser powder-bed fusion additive manufacturing: physics of complex melt flow and formation mechanisms of pores, spatter and denudation zones
Saad A. Khairallah, Andrew T. Anderson, Alexander Rubenchik +1
This study demonstrates the significant effect of the recoil pressure and Marangoni convection in laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) of 316L stainless steel. A three-dimensional high…
Removing Orbital Debris with Lasers
Claude R. Phipps, Kevin L. Baker, Brian Bradford +10
Orbital debris in low Earth orbit (LEO) are now sufficiently dense that the use of LEO space is threatened by runaway collisional cascading. A problem predicted more than thirty ye…
Momentum Transfer by Laser Ablation of Irregularly Shaped Space Debris
Duane A. Liedahl, Stephen B. Libby, Alexander Rubenchik
Proposals for ground-based laser remediation of space debris rely on the creation of appropriately directed ablation-driven impulses to either divert the fragment or drive it into…
