Multi-scan laser forming: synchrotron strain scanning and microstructure evolution

Residual elastic strain and microstructural transformations resulting from high thermal gradients introduced by industrial-strength laser forming of mild steel are reported in this article. An 8mm thick steel plate was bent to a total bending angle of 1.2° by running a laser three successive times a...
