Abstract: The objective of this work was to improve our understanding of pulsed laser micropolishing (PLμP) by studying the effects of laser pulse length and feed rate (pulses per millimeter) on surface ...

Abstract: The precision of parts created by microfabrication processes is limited by surface roughness. Therefore, as a means of improving surface roughness, pulsed laser micropolishing on nickel was ...

Abstract: The objectives of this work are to determine an accurate temperature feedback strategy and to develop a closed-loop feedback control system for temperature in friction stir welding (FSW). FSW ...
