Abstract Laser cutting of copper-based alloy sheets is very difficult due to their high reflectivity, which can be modified with graphitization. The optimal parameters for a 2.5 mm thick brass sheet were determined by examining the laser beam parameter variations and cut kerfs. best characteristics kerfs obtained when surface was graphitized, frequency 200 Hz, applied speed 1400mm/min on 2500 W...

This paper presents an overview of the subject of laser cutting. Subjects covered include; Laser-materials interactions, different laser types, the technical and commercial growth of laser cutting and the state of the art.

AIM To find the optimal techniques and parameters that enables Er:YAG laser to be used successfully for small intraoral soft tissue interventions, in respect to its cutting and coagulation abilities. CASE REPORT In vitro pre-tests: 4 different Er:YAG laser units and one CO2 unit as the control were used for incision and coagulation on porcine lower jaws and optimal parameters were established...

abstract: nowadays, the non-traditional processes such as “laser, edm and awj” used for cutting high thickness sheet metal. hardox is hard and tough steel alloy and it has many industrialize applications. one best process to cut the hardox is abrasive water jet (awj) cutting.  it can cuts complex shape with high quality and accurate tolerance.  awj cutting offers certain unique benefits such as...

Article history: Received June 6 2014 Received in Revised Format September 9 2014 Accepted September 15 2014 Available online September 22 2014 In this paper, an attempt has been made to develop a mathematical model in order to study the relationship between laser cutting parameters such as laser power, cutting speed, assist gas pressure and focus position, and kerf taper angle obtained in CO2 ...

Lithium-ion batteries are widely used for many applications such as portable electronic devices and Electric Vehicles, because they have lighter weight, higher energy density, higher power density, and a higher energy-to-weight ratio than other types of batteries. Conventional contact-based cutting technology may be inefficient whenever cell design is changed since lithium-ion battery cells are...

introduction: laser pointers are devices that produce a weak laser beam of 630-680 nmwavelength and 1-5 mw power (classii or iii a laser). these devices generally emit a redbeam that is used by lecturers and teachers for presentations. some children use pointers astoys and sometimes direct the beam to their own or others' eyes. material and methods: following irradiation by a laser pointer beam...
