STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Heat Energy: 4200 Joule --> 4200 Joule No Conversion Required
Material Reflectivity: 0.5 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Gravity of Material: 2.4 --> No Conversion Required
Specific Heat Capacity: 0.421 Joule per Kilogram per Celcius --> 0.421 Joule per Kilogram per K (Check conversion here)
Melting Temperature of Base Metal: 1499.999 Celsius --> 1773.149 Kelvin (Check conversion here)
Ambient Temperature: 55.02 Celsius --> 328.17 Kelvin (Check conversion here)
Latent Heat of Fusion: 4599.997 Joule per Kilogram --> 4599.997 Joule per Kilogram No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V = (Q*(1-R))/(s*(c*(T_m-θ_ambient)+L_fusion)*4.2) --> (4200*(1-0.5))/(2.4*(0.421*(1773.149-328.17)+4599.997)*4.2)

Evaluating ... ...

How does Laser Beam Machining work ?

Laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation) beam machining (LBM) utilises the energy from the coherent light beams called laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). The basic principle utilised in LBM is that under proper conditions light energy of a particular frequency is used to stimulate the electrons in an atom to emit additional light with exactly the same characteristics of the original light source.
