High-Speed Micro-Grooving of Metal by Angled Irradiation of Single-Mode CW Fiber Laser

Laser micro-grooving has excellent potential to improve the surface properties of metals. In this study, high-speed micro-grooving of the surfaces of mild steel SS400 and aluminum alloy A1050 was investigated using a single-mode continuous-wave fiber laser with an average power of 200 W. Experiments...
