RESEARCH CONCERNING MATERIAL REMOVAL AT SINGLE PULSE LASER
Keywords:
laser ablation, Al 1050, AISI 304, Ti, numerical simulationAbstract
The paper deals with experimental research on single pulse laser of some useful material used in different industries as Al 1050, aluminum alloy anodized, stainless steel AISI 304, and Ti technical pure, grade 2. Some data concerning the state of art laser ablation, applicability, and working parameters are presented. The surfaces obtained by single pulse laser machining were studied by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and correlations between experimental data and working parameters. Numerical simulations of the single pulse laser were approached for deeper understanding of the specific removal mechanism at different working parameters.References
