    Laser milling is a relatively new manufacturing process that has attracted much attention from engineers and researchers for the last decade. The process allows complex parts and tooling inserts to be fabricated directly from 3D CAD data in a wide range of advanced engineering materials such as ceramics, hardened steel, bulk metallic glasses, titanium and nickel alloys. The paper discusses the process design and imple...

    In this study we investigate 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 metal bond to generate the required chip space in terms of protruding diamond grains. The challenge for process...

    Trends and Advances in UV-Laser Microprocessing

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    Lasers with ultraviolet (UV) output offer unique benefits for processing a wide range of materials. In particular, the short wavelength, high energy UV photons experience less diffraction than longer visible or infrared wavelengths, which enables materials processing at higher spatial resolution. In addition, UV-laser wavelengths interact primarily by non-thermal means, thus minimizing the heat affected zone during manufacturing.
    UV-excimer lasers deliver energies scalable up to 2J/pulse and output powers above one kilowatt. Thus, they are the key to fast and effe...

    Surface properties are significant in determining the applications of a material, and the modifications of surface properties have been drawing wide attention. The properties attracting the most attention include hydrophilicity, microhardness, optical properties, and tribological properties. To modify these surface characteristics, numerous methods have been developed and investigated over the years; however,...

    Presented at ICALEO 2011

    Wettability is an interesting subject which spans any discipline that takes into account any form of adhesion. As such, it is imperative to identify generic parameters that govern the wetting nature of materials. This paper details the use of CO2 and KrF excimer lasers to modify the surface of nylon 6,6 in order to modulate the wettability characteristics. White light interferometery allowed one to establish that the surface roughness (Ra) w...

    The application of fuel saving technologies like fuel-efficient engine oil or the implementation of an automated start-stop system into the engine management leads to increased loads on power train bearings. To improve the durability of these parts, the friction surfaces need to be modified. The optimization of already existing parts can be done by ...
