Erica Liverani. Senior assistant professor. Main research topic: LPBF additive manufacturing, Erica Liverani Non-conventional laser surface hardening for axisymmetric components High-Power Laser Materials Processing: Lasers, Beam Delivery, Diagnostics, and Applications III, Affiliations: [Department of Industrial Engineering (DIN), Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, Bologna, Italy]., According to those considerations, the present paper deals with the application of remote cutting of 12 μ m thick aluminum and 6 μ m thick copper foils by means of a galvo scanner and two different fiber laser sources: single mode constant wave and nanosecond pulsed wave ones., Erica Liverani is an assis-tant professor at the University of Bologna. She has ten years of experience in laser mate - rials processing, current-ly with a focus on laser cutting and laser weld-ing, laser manufacturing through additive manu-facturing and modeling of laser-matter interactions. Erica Liverani, The present study is aimed at investigating the effect of different heat treatments on the microstructure, hardness and residual stress of the A357 (AlSi7Mg0.6) heat-treatable alloy produced by laser-based powder bed fusion (LPBF, also known as selective laser melting)..
