Credit points: 5
Module number: MB-IFS-30
Rotation: Sommersemester
Through this module, students acquire fundamental knowledge about the use of laser beam as a tool in various manufacturing processes. Upon completion of the module, students will be able to identify the fundamental quantities of geometrical optics and explain their relevance to laser material processing. They can qualitatively describe the basic physical processes involved in the absorption of laser radiation and apply this understanding to technical surfaces. Furthermore, students will be able to describe the interaction between laser radiation and matter. They also gain the ability to identify the interaction mechanisms involved in laser-based joining processes and qualitatively explain their functional principles.
By examining numerous application examples from research and industry, students can assess the relevance of these manufacturing processes. Upon completion of the module, they will be capable of understanding and describing the interaction mechanisms between the laser beam and the workpiece during laser-based joining and of transferring this knowledge to industrially relevant challenges, particularly with regard to modern applications such as joining in electromobility.
