Abstract: A combined experimental and analytical approach is undertaken to identify the relationship between process parameters and fracture behavior in the cutting of a 1mm thick alumina samples by a ...

Abstract: The traditional “evaporation∕melt and blow” mechanism of CO2 laser cutting of aluminum nitride (AlN) chip carriers and heat sinks suffers from energy losses due to its high thermal conductivity, ...

Abstract: Laser and water-jet manufacturing processes are independently used to cut monolithic and composite ceramics. While these processes offer many advantages over diamond sawing and other abrasive ...
