Abstract

Aluminum has been widely used in the electric applications because of light metals. When mechanical element is periodically moving with contacting other surfaces, the anodizing process for aluminum is useful for avoiding the abrasive damage. The anodized element has quietly different characteristics with respect to the distribution of hardness and crystal structure. In this work, the laser drilling of anodized surface is studied experimentally. Fusion drilling method - laser drilling with inert gas blowing - is used. The effect of various process parameters (gas pressure, laser power, focus position) is investigated with respect to the hole size and circularity.
