Experimental Study of Low-Pressure Water Jet Assisted Laser Drilling on Al2O3 Ceramic

Article Preview

Abstract:

A study on low pressure water jet assisted laser processing is presented. This new method is researched by drilling on Al2O3 ceramics material. A comprehensive research on the influence of laser processing parameters on surface quality with this method is conducted. The microcosmic appearances of the machining surfaces obtained from normal laser processing and composite processing were comparatively analyzed. At the same time, through measuring the holes in the 3-D morphology, the influences of water jet velocity and laser processing parameters on the surface quality are presented. The results show that, the surface quality is significantly improved with this new method which combines low pressure jet into laser processing. The molten slag can be significantly reduced and the stability of processing quality can be improved much.
