Abstract: Modulating the heating and cooling during plastic deformation has been critical to control the microstructure and phase change in metals. During laser shock peening under optimal elevated temperatures, high-density ...

Abstract: In this paper a twostage physicsbased model has been applied to study the evolution of plasma produced by highintensity nanosecond laser ablation in vacuum under external magnetic field. In the early stage (Stage I), the ...

Abstract: A magnetic fieldassisted laser drilling process has been studied, where nanosecond laser ablation is performed under an external magnetic field. The study shows that the magnetic fieldassisted laser drilling process produces ...

Abstract: In this paper, precise P3 scribing of thinfilm solar cells (AZO/CIGS/Mo/Glass) via a picosecond laser is investigated. A parametric study is carried out for P3 scribing to study the effects of laser fluence and overlap ...

Abstract: This article is to capture some of the important developments in the rapidly growing areas of laser-based manufacturing and materials processing and also to describe important technological issues pertaining to various ...
