    Process limits for percussion drilling of stainless steel with ultrashort laser pulses at high average powers
    (2022) Brinkmeier, David; Holder, Daniel; Loescher, André; Röcker, Christoph; Förster, Daniel J.; Onuseit, Volkher; Weber, Rudolf; Abdou Ahmed, Marwan; Graf, Thomas
    The availability of commercial ultrafast lasers reaching into the kW power level offers promising potential for high-volume manufacturing applications. Exploiting the available average power is challenging due to process limits imposed by particle shielding, ambient atmosphere breakdown, and heat accumulation effects. We experimentally confirm the validity of a simple thermal model, which can be used for the estimation of a critical heat accumulation threshold for percussion drilling of AISI 304 steel. The limits are summarized in a processing map, which provides selection criteria for process parameters and suitable lasers. The results emphasize the need for process parallelization.

    Analytical model for the depth progress of percussion drilling with ultrashort laser pulses
    (2021) Holder, Daniel; Weber, Rudolf; Graf, Thomas; Onuseit, Volkher; Brinkmeier, David; Förster, Daniel J.; Feuer, Anne
    A simplified analytical model is presented that predicts the depth progress during and the final hole depth obtained by laser percussion drilling in metals with ultrashort laser pulses. The model is based on the assumption that drilled microholes exhibit a conical shape and that the absorbed fluence linearly increases with the depth of the hole. The depth progress is calculated recursively based on the depth changes induced by the successive pulses. The experimental validation confirms the model and its assumptions for percussion drilling in stainless steel with picosecond pulses and different pulse energies.
