Surface Plasmon Polaritons for Micro and Nano-Texturing of Metal Surfaces
BY: L. Mellor, S.P. Edwardson, W. Perrie, G. Dearden, K.G. Watkins Laser Group, Department of Engineering, The University of Liverpool, Liverpool L69 3GQ, UK A study has been carried out on the production of micron and sub-micron features on the surface of a range of metallic materials through laser illumination. Possible application areas for such […]
Prevention of porosity by oxygen in partial penetration laser and laser-gma hybrid welding
Prevention of porosity by oxygen in partial penetration laser and laser-gma hybrid welding can stabilize the laser welding process and then prevent the weld defects.
Pulse Control improves the micromachining of hard materials
Pulse Control improves the micromachining of hard materials demonstrates a factor of two improvements in cutting time and material removal if pulse peak power, energy and shape are controlled and optimized
