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 …

Tailor-made blanks are sheet metal assemblies with different thicknesses and/or materials
and/or surface coatings. A monolithic sheet can be machined to make the required thickness …

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 …

To explore the forming process and mechanism of the surface texture of laser micropits, this
paper presents the thermal model of laser machining based on the Neumann boundary …

As additive manufacturing (AM) processes become more refined and widely used, it is
essential for engineers and designers to understand the processes in order to effectively use …

In this study, a laser‐assisted bending process is proposed, in which the external force is
applied by magnets. The process can be used for bending the magnetic and non‐magnetic …
