Faqs:
What is Water-Jet Guided Laser (WJGL) machining?
WJGL is a laser processing method where the laser beam is coupled into a micro water jet, which acts as both a beam-guiding medium and a cooling/debris-removal medium, enabling high precision with reduced thermal damage.
How does WJGL work?
WJGL relies on total internal reflection at the water-air interface. Due to the refractive index difference, the laser is confined and guided within the water column, similar to a 'liquid optical fiber', and delivered stably to the machining zone.
Why does WJGL reduce the heat-affected zone (HAZ)?
The continuously flowing water efficiently removes heat due to its high heat capacity, suppressing heat accumulation and thereby reducing HAZ, distortion, and microcracking.
What materials can be processed with the Micro Waterjet-Guided Laser Machine?
It is suitable for a wide range of materials including carbon fiber composites, aluminum matrix composites, Ni-based superalloys, titanium alloys, silicon wafers, diamonds, and biocompatible alloys used in medical devices.
