Fabrication of Fine Mesh Filter Screen with Pulsed Laser

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper proposes a novel manufacturing process of a fine mesh filter screen with a pulsed laser. The fine mesh filter screen, made of stainless steel, has many small diameter holes with high aspect ratio and fine pitch. In the conventional process, an electron beam drills in a vacuum. However, this is very costly because of the expensive equipment required and batch process. Therefore, a laser drilling process for small diameter hole drilling in air with higher flexibility was proposed. The post-processes after the laser drilling completed the fine mesh filter screen.
