Laser chemical machining (LCM) is a method of laser processing based on gentle material removal by means thermal induced dissolution. Since LCM depends predominantly the surface temperature workpiece, process window restricted appearance gas bubbles at higher powers and their associated shielding effect. In order to extend understanding, influence power modulation behavior investigated in present work. The experiments were conducted titanium grade 1 with phosphoric acid. Based response time...
Due to the challenging environment of micro-manufacturing techniques where workpiece is submerged in a fluid, contactless situ capable measurement required for quality control.

Laser chemical machining, a non-conventional processing method based on thermally activated electrochemical material dissolution, represents promising technology for manufacturing metallic dies micro forming applications. Prior to widespread industrial acceptance the machining quality of laser should be characterized. For this purpose, is compared with milling regarding both dimensional accuracy and surface quality. Therefore, square cavities exhibiting side walls between 100 μm 400 in...
Laser chemical machining represents a promising technology for manufacturing metallic micro parts. It is usually based on the selective thermal activation of electrochemical material dissolution self-passivating metals in an electrolyte environment. Prior to widespread industrial acceptance, its quality needs be classified within subtractive processes and range machinable materials expanded. For this purpose, line square cavities with dimensions ≤300 μm are machined into high speed steel...
Abstract In nitriding furnaces, the result is currently only controlled indirectly via potential based on gas sensors. Detrimental properties such as soft spots, insufficient compound layer thickness or strongly porous zones, which might from reduced surface reactivity, are thus detected post-process. Therefore, in-process measurements of formation promise a real benefit for energy efficiency and process quality enhancement. Photothermal radiometry promising contactless method inspection...
The challenging environment of in situ micro-geometry measurements fluids (e.g. for laser- or electrochemical machining), such as refractive index fluctuations, small dimensions and high surface gradients, hinder many conventional measurement techniques. Confocal microscopy remains most suitable with uncertainties < 1μm, but complex micro-geometries edge slopes > 75° often produce unwanted artifacts. To prevent the formation artifacts, isotropically emitting fluorescence light a fluid layer...
