ITMO Scientists Develop Model for Optimized laser Metal Deposition

Researchers at ITMO University have developed a novel physical and mathematical model to optimize laser metal deposition processes. This model accurately calculates the ideal gap distance between the target material and the substrate, the appropriate diameter for metal deposition, and the resulting deposit thickness.

The system functions by requiring users to input specific parameters into a set of equations. These parameters include details of the laser pulse – such as its energy and duration – the focused spot diameter of the radiation, and the optical and thermophysical properties of the metal being deposited. By analyzing these inputs, the model predicts the optimal conditions for achieving desired deposition results.

this advancement promises to improve the efficiency and precision of laser metal deposition,a technique widely used in various industries including microelectronics,aerospace,and biomedical engineering. Precise control over these parameters is crucial for creating high-quality coatings and structures with tailored properties.
