An experiment is conducted on stainless steel 1Cr13 with Nd: YAG: JK300D millisecond laser and Taguchi method. The optimized laser parameters
such as pulse width
peak power
frequency and defocus distance
are obtained in the manufacturing of microholes with the least recast layer on the present experimental conditions. Following the set of parameters
the holes form with characters that fit to be postprocessed by the present post processing technology
the holes are etched in acid solution
and eventually found that the recast layer sticking to the side wall is completely wiped off. This combined method is endowed with the advantages of low cost
high efficiency
and operation simplicity. So the defections of recast layer and micro crack due to high energy beam processing are removed to create high quality microholes.
