Crystal growth in the direction of the temperature gradient during laser etching
Affiliation:
Heriot-watt University
Description:
The mechanism was observed during laser etching of stainless steel material with 60W CW fiber Laser. This picture shows crystal growth and liquid metal surface tension.
Equipment used:
Research Stereo Microscope from Visual Inspection Technology - WLD 20
