Proceedings: International Conference on Advances in Mechanical Engineering-2006 (AME 2006), December 1-3, 2006 Baba Banda Singh Bahadur Engineering College, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab, India A review on laser drilling and its Techniques Sushant Dhar, Nishant Saini, R. Purohit NSIT, Delhi, India Abstract means material removal accomplished by laser material interaction. What it does is use ultra-fast laser pulses of very Drilling is one of the most important and successful short duration to remove material in layers from the surface of applications of industrial lasers. Laser drilling emerges as a the work piece. Machining depths per layer vary from one viable and successful substitute for holes less than 0.25mm in application to another. [1,2] diameter that are otherwise difficult to drill mechanically, especially for hard and brittle materials, such as ceramics and Generally speaking, Laser Machining processes include laser gemstones. Laser drilling of metals is used to produce tiny drilling, laser cutting and laser grooving, marking or scribing. orifices for nozzles, cooling channels in air turbine blades, etc. Laser machining is not programmed like traditional For direct hole drilling, the quality of the laser beam, cutting/milling equipment requiring
