Iterative laser straightening of welded plates of varying thickness

Laser forming uses a defocused laser beam which scans over the sample, generating high surface temperature and large thermal gradients, to produce bending and upsetting/shortening of the material. Laser forming is promising in a wide spectrum of industrial applications, for example flexible shaping...
