A new hybrid process allows high-strength coating materials to be applied quickly and efficiently, with concurrent machining, to produce critical parts with extended service life quickly, and with ...

Laser micromachining is a versatile process that can be used for an array of medtech applications. Yet when using it, it is crucial to select the appropriate method of process qualification or ...

A new study in Opto-Electronic Advances discusses super-resolution machining of single crystalline sapphire by GHz burst mode femtosecond laser-induced plasma assisted ablation. GHz burst-mode ...

Laser machining, as one of the most significant micro/nano-manufacturing technologies, shows the capability of achieving ultimate accuracy, feature size and surface integrity at atomic scale. This has ...

Laser-assisted machining (LAM) hard, brittle materials, such as semiconductors and ceramics, utilizes a laser to heat an area to soften it before it is machined. The rest of the work piece is not ...

Turning is among the oldest manufacturing processes, having been developed in the Middle Ages and adapted in multiple ways over centuries. Turning is still used to produce components for nearly every ...

The sample preparation process will be faster if you use physical techniques like cutting and sawing to remove material in the centimetre range first. Preparing product or component samples for ...

Need to shape miniature, hard-to-machine parts with three-dimensional micro and meso scale features? Test results at Georgia Institute of Technology show that mechanical micro machining can still be ...

Figure 1: Dependence of the ablated depth by GHz burst LIPAA process on the intra-pulse number in GHz burst pulse for the various intra-pulse fluence (0.18, 0.22, 0.27, 0.36, 0.44 and 0.53 J/cm2). GHz ...
