Engineering Analysis of Pulsed Laser Welding

I'd like to add a section on the engineering analysis techniques that can or have been used for pulsed laser welding. The goal of this addition would be to provide information about how the temperature distributions and cooling rates can be related to the welding parameters. In so doing, one can more efficiently adjust parameters to obtain desired weld qualities such as depth of fusion, critical cooling rates to obtain desired phase transformations, and estimation of residual stresses to minimize cracking potential. Welding parameters that could be adjusted are frequency, pulse duration, pulse energy, focus, travel speed, etc.Lwcheung (talk) 06:48, 30 October 2017 (UTC)

That certainly doesn't belong in this article. If it fits anywhere, it would be at Laser beam welding. If this is published material and not your own work, you could try to write something up for that article. Keep in mind that we're an encyclopedia, not a textbook, though.--Srleffler (talk) 05:15, 31 October 2017 (UTC)

It is published material not my own. I thank you for your advice. I have decided to take that advice and move it to laser beam welding. I had originally felt that this was an appropriate location for the article because I am specifically referring to pulsed laser not continuous wave laser. The applications and ramifications are very different. Although, it seems that your article is not necessarily focused on welding. Therefore it makes sense to move my article to an article that is concerned with welding. Lwcheung (talk) 06:41, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

What are the methods of Q-switching and mode-locking? 5.122.252.113 (talk) 23:16, 1 January 2023 (UTC)

This is a good suggestion; the article could use a brief explanation of the methods used for Q-switching and mode-locking lasers.--Srleffler (talk) 02:18, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
