Drilling of Cooling Holes by Using High-Power Ultrashort Pulsed Laser Radiation
By Hermann Uchtmann One of the main applications for laser drilling is the manufacturing of cooling holes with diameters of e.g., 500 µm in turbine components such as turbine blades and vanes or combustion chambers. Nowadays, these cooling holes are drilled by using flash lamp pumped Nd:YAG laser radiation and partially by using QCW fiber laser […]
Dicing of Thin Si Wafers with a Picosecond Laser Ablation Process
By Christian Fornaroli Currently, electrical semiconductor components such as LEDs, solar cells or transistors are commonly produced in a batch process. This way, many identical components can be processed in parallel on one big wafer; subsequently, each chip has to be singulated. Mechanical sawing with diamond blades has been used for a long time, but […]
3D Surface Texturing Technology Using Ultrashort Pulsed Lasers
By Max Groenendijk Ultrashort pulsed lasers have proven to be excellent tools to fabricate micro and nanotextured surfaces. These surfaces have a high potential for several applications where the tiny surface textures can improve or add a specific functional property. It was at ICALEO® 2006 that we first demonstrated a super hydrophobic surface obtained by […]
Micro-Hole Drilling on Cemented Tungsten Carbide by Ultra Short Laser Pulses
By: Khai Pham Xuan, Kazuya Saginawa, Rie Tanabe, Yoshiro Ito Department of Mechanical Engineering, Nagaoka University of Technology Recently, high precision molds for small products are being highly required in many industrial applications, especially in information communication technology. Mold materials with high hardness, such like cemented tungsten carbide (WC-Co), are difficult to machine by classical […]
