This study reports the laser grooving of glass. In this study, an ultraviolet (UV) nanosecond laser is used to produce grooves in soda lime glass by varying laser power, scan speed, pulse repetition rate, and number of scans. The threshold power density to generate damage on glass surface is found to be ~6.37 × 108 W/cm2. According to the result of a single laser scan, at a high laser power and low scan speed, material removal does not nearly occur, and only volume melting underneath the glass surface and large thermal crack are induced. With the decreasing laser power and increasing scan speed, a groove with a smooth surface is formed owing to the melting-dominant material removal process. The groove of rough surface morphology is produced with the further increase of the scan speed due to shattering induced by shock wave. Under this condition, it is found that either small cracks are produced or a crack-free groove is obtained. In this study, the fabrication of the microchannel for bio-chip application is also attempted by multiple laser scans. The near rectangular-shaped and crack-free groove (width × depth: ~220 μm × ~500 μm) with quite a smooth surface is fabricated by the multiple laser scans with a non-zero scan spacing.

AbstractThe fractures of a soda-lime glass surface layer were investigated under irradiation by a high-power ion beam of nanosecond duration with different current densities. Two kinds of cracks (perpendicular and approximately parallel irradiated surfaces) have been identified. It is defined that cracks approximately parallel to the surface are localized at a depth of 10 ± 2 µm from the irradiated glass surface after one-time irradiation with a current density of 100 A/cm2. The formation of these cracks was detected within ~170 h after the end of irradiation when irradiated samples were under an air atmosphere. In a vacuum, the growth of these cracks was insignificant. It is shown that irradiation of heated glass or heating of glass started no later than 2–3 min after irradiation can suppress or substantially reduce surface fracture of glass. The possible mechanisms of glass fracture were discussed.

In this study, the fabrication conditions of WC cemented carbides by direct selective laser melting were investigated. The effects of additives, such as Co, Cu-20%Sn and Cu powders, and laser scanning conditions on laser sintering process were examined to fabricate a sound laser-scanned body of WC cemented carbides. The optimum laser power, scan speed and scan pitch were found out by experiments. It was found that the continuously smooth single-scan track can be obtained at a lower laser power and a higher scan speed by the addition of 30% Cu powder. The smooth surface of the laser-scanned body could be fabricated at a laser power of 9 W, a scan speed of 20 mm/s and a scan pitch of 0.05 mm.

Existing methods for the microfabrication of convex structures on a glass surface require a complex and expensive masking process. In this study, a simple microfabrication method that combines the masking process using polyimide tapes and a micro-slurry jet (MSJ) process was developed. The masking process was performed using a CO₂ laser machine, and the surface of the processed glass was observed using a three-dimensional laser microscope. Although the geometric shape of the mask was not a perfect circle, convex structures with a diameter of approximately 1.0 mm and heights of more than 1.5 μm were formed on soda-lime glass surfaces. The deepest structures were observed to create convex structures with a height of 19 µm. The effects of the travel speed of the nozzle and number of repetitions of the MSJ process on the height of the convex structures on the glass surface were also investigated. It was found that the masking process combining polyimide tapes and the MSJ process could form high-convexity structures on the glass surface. The proposed method is expected to enable the fabrication of devices with various functional properties for materials that cannot be processed using existing methods.
