Abstract

In this work, some parameters affecting drilling of aluminum samples by a pulsed Nd:YAG laser were studied. These parameters are multi-pulses irradiation, controlling sample temperature, low-pressure ambient and application of electric field on the sample. Results presented in this work explained that these parameters can enhance drilling process throughout increasing hole depth in aluminum samples at the same laser energy used for irradiation.
