The Influences of Assisting Gas Type and Process Parameters on the Fiber Laser Microprofiling of Thin CoCr Tubes for Vascular Stents
Cobalt chromium (CoCr) alloy tubes have been widely used in manufacturing of vascular stents, due to their excellent bio-mechanical properties, especially their high strength. In recent years, fiber lasers have been used in the micro-machining of vascular stents, given their better cutting quality t...
