전산해석을 이용한 레이저다이오드 용접과정에서의 온도변화 분석 Numerical Analysis of Temperature Variation in the Laser Diode Welding Process
pp.591-597
The characteristics of temperature variation for laser diode welding system have been analyzed with numerical investigation. The laser diode is assembled with a cap and stem by projection welding. Resistance heat, in this process, is generated by electric current at the contact surface between cap and stem within a very short time. Temperature variation of laser diode is largely affected by the welding time and the heat generated from the surface. Maximum temperature of each component in the laser diode should be lower than the melting point except for cap and stem in order to prevent welding defect. Temperature distribution of each component in the laser diode is also affected by thermal conduction mechanism. Welding defect near the insulator occurs when the resistance heat is high. Appropriate resistance heat supply to the laser diode was about 400W. The results from this study could be applicable for optimal design of laser diode welding system.
