An analytical model for mechanical etching of glass by powder blasting
نویسندگان
چکیده
A nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equation modelling the etching of glass by powder blasting is proposed. This equation is solved by means of the characteristic strip equations. The analytical solution is in reasonable agreement with measurements. AMS Subject Classification: 35F25, 35L60, 33C05.

Micro Fluidic Channel Machining on Fused Silica Glass Using Powder Blasting
In this study, micro fluid channels are machined on fused silica glass via powder blasting, a mechanical etching process, and the machining characteristics of the channels are experimentally evaluated. In the process, material removal is performed by the collision of micro abrasives injected by highly compressed air on to the target surface. This approach can be characterized as an integration ...

We have developed a micromachined flow cell consisting of a flow channel integrated with micropipettes. The flow cell is used in combination with an optical trap set-up (optical tweezers) to study mechanical and structural properties of ADNA molecules. The flow cell was realised using silicon micromachining including the so-called buried channel technology to fabricate the micropipettes, the we...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Powder Blast Micromachining
Powder blasting, or Abrasive Jet Machining (AJM), is a technique in which a particle jet is directed towards a target for mechanical material removal. It is a fast, cheap and accurate directional etch technique for brittle materials like glass, silicon and ceramics. By introducing electroplated copper as a new mask material, the feature size of this process was decreased. It was found that blas...
