"Each diamond-grinding machine costs about $1 million. It's not unusual to need seven or eight of those machines to make one part. If we can machine this part using a single laser-assisted machining .

For example, in micro machining of H13 mold steel (42 HRC), researchers have been able to reduce cutting force by as much as 56%. Researchers say predictive models for temperature and ... in hardened ...

Difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, high-temperature ... energy-assisted mechanical machining is a hybrid process using nontraditional energies (vibration, laser, electricity ...

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 ...

Atmospheric conditions have specific and contrasted influence on the laser-assisted yield of different ... correlations are observed in the case of temperature. Conversely, water vapour volume ...

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 ...
