Laser beam machining (LBM) using nanosecond pulsed laser is widely known to be rapid and non-wear process for micromachining. However, the quality itself cannot meet the precision standard due to the recast layer and heat affected zone. In this paper, a fabrication method for machining micro features in stainless steel using a hybrid process of LBM using nanosecond pulsed laser and electrochemical etching (ECE) is reported. ECE uses non-contacting method for precise surface machining and selectively removes the recast layer and heat affected zone produced by laser beam in an effective way. Compared to the single LBM process, the hybrid process of LBM and ECE enhanced the quality of the micro features.

A development of smart materials is becoming a prominent issue on present industries. A smart material, included in functions, is needed for micro fabrication. A shape memory alloy(SMA) in a smart material is best known material. Ni-Ti alloy, composed of nikel and titanium is one of the best shape memory alloy(SMA). Nitinol SMA is used for a lot of high tech industry such as aero space, medical device, micro actuator, sensor system. However, Ni-Ti SMA is difficult to process to make a shape and fabrications as traditional machining process. Because nitinol SMA, that is contained nikel content more than titanium content, has similar physical characteristics of titanium. In this paper, the characteristics of ECM grooving process for nitinol SMA are investigated by experiments. The experiments in this study are progressed for power, gap distance and machining time. The characteristics are found each part. Fine shape in work piece can be found on conditions; current 6A, duty factor 50%, gap distance 15%, gap distance $15{\mu}m$, machining time 10min.

For increasing productivity of micro electrochemical machining (MECM), the application of multiple electrodes was introduced. The electrodes were fabricated by reverse electrical discharge machining (REDM). By REDM micro electrodes with various shapes can be machined easily. According to capacitance and applied voltage, machining characteristics of reverse EDM were investigated and the optimal conditions for stable machining were suggested. By using multiple electrodes and a channel-shape electrode, holes and channels were machined on stainless steel by ECM.

Invar is a compound metal of Fe-Ni system contained 36.5% Ni. The characteristic of invar is that the coefficient of thermal expansion is $1.0{\times}10^{-6}cm/^{\circ}C$. It is approximately 10 times smaller than series of steel. Because of this low thermal expansion characteristic of Invar, it is used to shadow mask of display device such as UHDTV or OLED TV. In this study, pulse current from pulse generator instead of DC current is used to overcome the disadvantages of the conventional electrochemical machining. Pulsed current with different duty factor in PECM affect the precise geometry. Pulse electrochemical machining is conducted to machine the micro hole to the invar sheet with different duty factor. The machined shape and overcut of invar sheet with different duty factor is observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope (SEM).

Electrochemical discharge machining (ECDM) is a very recent technique in the fabrication of the micro-electro-mechanical system ( MEMS ) devices. This paper presents the experimental results of the machining of micro-holes on pyrex glass substrates by use of ECDM. Electrolyte is used with a KOH aqueous solution, cathode with copper, anode with platinum, and tool feed system is applied with gravity feed system. Already established experimental results were taken under the condition of constant voltage frequency. However in this paper, the effect of variation of the voltage frequency and duty ratio is considered. In this experiment, it is measured the ECDM performances with variation of the voltage frequency and duty ratio under the conditions of constant other machining variables. ECDM performances are described by the hole depth, and the top hole diameter.
