Laser polishing is a technology of smoothening the surface of various materials with highly
intense laser beams. When these beams impact on the material surface to be polished, the …

Additive manufacturing enables the manufacturing of parts with complex geometries that are
not easy to be manufactured by conventional methods such as machining or forging …

Press plates for decorative laminates are often made from AISI410 and typically need a
surface finish created by polishing. A new manufacturing process that can overcome …

The productivity of electrical discharge machining (EDM) is relatively low owing to the
natural laws of electrical erosion. Precise EDM demands uninterrupted control of the …

In order to improve tribological properties of tappets made of GCr15 bearing steel, a
combination of martensitic heat treatment and surface texture was applied to the GCr15 …

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a reliable technique for constructing highly complex metallic
parts. Direct energy deposition (DED) is one of the most common technologies used for AM …

Laser directed energy deposition with powder (pDED-L) is one of the most popular
techniques for additive manufacturing. However, for some applications, the resulting surface …

The work applied a continuous-wave laser beam from a multimode fiber laser to study the
polishing effect. Three kinds of surface morphologies were acquired by fast-speed (FS) & …

As a novel polishing technology, polishing by laser beam radiation can be used to improve
the sample surface finish without causing material losses. In order to study the effect of laser …

In this paper, a novel dual-beam coupled nanosecond laser was used to polish S136D mold
steel. The effects of scanning speed, total fluence, spot overlap ratio, and SPSN on surface …
