Industrial Applications of Lasers Overview

Applied Laser Tooling

  • 197 Accesses

Abstract

Lasers applications in industrial materials processing can be subdivided into two major groups:

  1. A

    Applications requiring small but carefully controlled amount of energy such as micromachining, resistor trimming, substrate scribing, semiconductor annealing, marking, printing etc.

  2. B

    Applications requiring substantial amounts of energy to induce the required phase transformation in the workpiece for processes such as cutting, welding, heat treating and cladding.
