    In laser cutting of thick steel sheets, quality difference is observed between cut surfaces obtained with 1 and 10 μm laser beams. This paper investigates physical mechanisms for this interesting and important problem of the wavelength dependence. First, striation generation process is descri...

    Laser cutting of carbon fiber reinforced plastics (CFRPs) has been known to be difficult due to the thermal damage to CFRP material. Therefore, with the objectives of evaluating the cutting possibility for long- or short-fiber pellet CFRP sheets of 3 mm in thickness and obtaining narrower heat affected zone (HAZ) for better cut quality, ultra-high speed cutting was conducted by using a continuous-wave high brightness disk laser. The increase in the laser power rendered the cutting time shorter...

    In this study, the authors investigate the laser dressing of metal bonded diamond blades by means of laser pulses with different pulse durations and wavelengths. Conventional dressing suffers from excessive blade wear, whereas laser dressing enables precise removal of the bonding metal to generate the required chip space of protruding diamond grains. The challenge for processing this composite material is to find appropriate level of ablation for the bonding metal without damaging the diamond grains thr...

    A reversible wafer bonding method has been developed that enables high-temperature processing of thinned silicon wafers. The silicon wafers are bonded to Pyrex carriers using a polyetheretherketone (PEEK) film, which melts at 343 °C, and provides a very strong bond. Debonding is accomplished by UV laser ablation through the Pyrex carrier and can be facilitated by coating the Pyrex wafer...

    The remote cutting technique provides an enormous potential in terms of cutting speeds when working on thin sheets. Even on contour cutting speeds about 100 m/min are realizable. Working without any cutting gas, the material of the cutting kerf must be vaporized partially. It is evident that the energy input must be higher than for pure melting of the cutting kerf’s material. In order to ...

    Large area microdrilling utilizing short pulsed solid state lasers is a promising manufacturing technique for filtration technology. High degree of perforation and high quality of the drilled hole arrays regarding roundness and diameter variation of holes are the main challenges. The goal is to achieve a high degree of perforation with a high number of round holes on a constant pitch. The resulting variation of hole roundness and mechanical stability limitations of the percussion drilled foi...
