Using a single-crystalline silicon as the specimen material, the process parameters relevant to the hybrid process were investigated along with the interactions between the laser and waterjet.
By analyzing the loading, deflection, strain and fracture development of the specimen in the process, studying the mechanical characteristics and failure pattern of such components.
Before measurements each motion, the maximum torque (6.0 N.m) was loaded and then unloaded in each specimen, and the process was repeated 3 times.
In addition, the ultimate tensile strength value of the specimen processed by the continuous hybrid process was 23.9% higher, although the elongation was slightly lower than the one produced by the conventional wire-drawing process.
The steadily increased iodine concentration would maintain a certain concentration difference between solutions and specimen during the whole process.
Mechanical properties, microstructure and texture evolution of the specimen processed by the newly proposed process and conventional wire drawing (WD) were investigated by tension test, electron backscattering diffraction (EBSD), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) for comparison.
From the EBSD results, the areal fraction of the low angle grain boundaries (1.12 μm−1) of the specimen processed by the NCD was higher than that (0.78 μm−1) of the specimen processed by the WD for the two-pass.
All authors documented the specimens, processed the images, drafted the manuscript and read and approved it.
AZ participated in coordinating the specimen process and SNP selection.
After fixation, fluorescent nodes were identified under direct NIR fluorescence guidance with the Mini-FLARE, and the specimen was processed following the standard clinical protocol.
