Abstract: Presently surface microtexturing has found many promising applications in the fields of tribology, biomedical engineering, metal cutting, and other functional or topographical surfaces. Most of these applications are ...

Abstract: The ultrashort pulsed laser ablation process is a wellestablished micromachining process and has been at the center of manufacturing research in the past decade. However, it has its own limitations, primarily due to the ...

Abstract: Laserinduced plasma micromachining (LIPMM) is a novel multimaterial and toolless micromachining process. It utilizes tightly focused ultrashort laser irradiation to generate plasma through laserinduced dielectric breakdown ...

Abstract: A twopass microrollingbased texturing (خ¼RT) process was utilized to improve the hydrophobicity of aluminum surfaces. Square micropillars were fabricated on aluminum sheets by two mutually orthogonal forming passes by a ...

Abstract: Microtexturing of surfaces has various applications that often involve texturing over large (macroscale) areas with high precision and resolution. This demands scalability and speed of texturing while retaining feature ...

Abstract: Carbon fiber reinforced plastics/polymers (CFRPs) offer excellent mechanical properties that lead to enhanced functional performance and, in turn, wide applications in numerous industrial fields. Post machining of CFRPs ...
