The review summarizes high-energy processing techniques applied for additive
manufacturing and surface engineering of cemented carbides and cermets, including laser …

Nano-scale surface texturing was made on the rake face close to the main cutting edge of
the WC/TiC/Co carbide tools with femtosecond laser, these textured tools were then …

Adhesion is one of the most important characteristics of coating on cutting tools. Poor
coating adhesion on the tool favors fragmentation and release of hard abrasive particles …

It is well known that topographical features on contact surfaces have a significant impact on
friction and wear. Indeed, surfaces that entail a texture are being used to improve and/or …

Laser machining has a high potential for the preparation of cutting edges. However, the heat
input through the laser beam may change the properties of the cutting tool material. These …

Phase and structural changes in surface layers of WC–TiC–Co hard alloy treated by intense
pulsed electron beams (IPEB) with electron energy of 20kV are studied. IPEB energy density …

This study is directed at developing a micro-scale laser scoring process and understanding
the laser-material interaction in ultra-thin aluminium foils (160 μm thickness). The research is …

The wear resistance properties of anilox roller have been a compelling challenge. A periodic
array patterned WC-10Co4Cr metal-ceramic composite coatings is prepared by picosecond …

In times of societal development, sustainability has become a major concern for many
manufacturers in the metal industries. In this context, surface texturing of cutting tools offers a …

The precision machining of hard and ultra-hard materials by the laser beam is a key subject
in the field of the modern manufacturing process. To improve the surface quality, the ablation …
