LIA Announces
LIA Introduces Three Laser Safety & Welding Publications to its Online Store Laser Institute of America (LIA) is proud to announce the release of three laser publications now available for purchase in its online store, the laser industry’s one-stop-shop for the most valuable and current laser safety and practical applications resources. The publications, which include Laser Safety Tools and Training, Laser Welding and Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding, represent a handful of several ongoing additions to the critical laser safety and applications publications already available in LIA’s easy-to-navigate online marketplace.
Laser Safety: Tools and Training, Second Edition covers the fundamentals of laser safety information, including the use of critical lasers. Students, entry level users and laser experts can all benefit from the information found within. The text, written by a working laser safety professional, considers ways to keep users, as well as those around them, safe by providing information from laser research standards to laser lab design lessons to use of protective eyewear. New to the second edition is the inclusion of ANSI Z136.8 Safe Use of Lasers in Research, Development, or Testing standard. Eye exposure limits, new case studies, user facility challenges and laser disposal are also covered in the new edition.
Laser Welding helps to provide a practical understanding of laser welding. Covering basic welding principles, industrial applications, and laser welding safety, Laser Welding is ideal for the laser professional looking to expand their knowledge of real world welding-based laser applications. Included in the publication are chapters on welding sheet metal parts, performance control and monitoring, installing and operating a laser, as well as a glossary of common terminology.

26 LIATODAY FOCUS: SCIENCE & RESEARCH SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2016
Hybrid Laser-Arc Welding (HLAW) provides a comprehensive look at hybrid laser-arc welding practices and technology. This publication is essential for anyone who uses welding technology or wants to learn more about this method that combines laser welding and arc welding. Part one of the text focuses on HLAW characteristics, specifically the properties of joints created by hybrid methods. Assessing the quality of a weld is also covered. Part two discusses the applications pertaining to specific metals such as aluminum, steel and magnesium alloys. This section also provides information pertaining to hybrid laser-arc welding applications for ships and automobiles.
