Abstract :
Laser forming is a modern metal forming method in which no mechanical force is needed. In this paper, numerical and experimental approaches to this phenomenon on were conducted. Numerical method comprised of couple heat-displacement. In it, heat flux distribution of laser beam was applied on the steel layer in Gaussian form and by using subroutine code writing procedure. Experimental tests were conducted by using Nd: YAG laser with maximum power of 300 watts and on a bi-layer Fe/Al work piece. The result of bending angle at different laser power ranges indicated that bending angle increases occur as this parameter is increased.
