Non-contact sheet forming using lasers applied to a high strength aluminum alloy
Laser beam forming (LBF) is a contactless mechanical process accomplished by the introduction of thermal stresses on the surface of a material using a laser in order to induce plastic deformation. In this work, LBF was performed on 1.6 mm thick sheets of a high strength aluminum alloy, AA6013-T4 cla...
