Laser forming is an emerging manufacturing process capable of producing either
uncomplicated and complicated shapes by employing a concentrated heating source. The …

Laser drilling is a preferable method in drilling micro and slender holes because of its non-
physical contact between the tool and the workpiece leading to elimination of the problems …

Surface texturing has become a potential method to obtain a low friction coefficient under
dry/lubricated conditions for different mechanical product surfaces. The mechanism of …

Laser drilling is increasingly becoming a suitable choice for performing micro-drilling on
advanced engineering and bio-compatible materials. In laser drilling operation, two types of …

Laser forming is a powerful tool for fabricating complicated shapes economically. The
pattern of laser movement (irradiating scheme) has an essential effect on the shaped form …

Laser forming is an advanced metal forming technique that uses the energy from high-power
laser to permanently deform the components by inducing localized thermal stresses. One of …

In recent decades, one of the challenges in sheet metal forming was production of two-step
bending surfaces without mechanical tools and external force or by a combination of heat …

Tungsten carbides are typical difficult-to-cut materials due to their high hardness and
brittleness, which cause severe tool wear and shorten tool life when being machined during …

With the development of the shipbuilding, chemical engineering, and military industry, the
demand for bending the metal plates with large curvature is increasing dramatically. Take …

The present study demonstrates laser bending which is a flexible and (external) tool-free
method for bending and shaping of metallic components. The numerical and experimental …
