Abstract
In the laser machining of ceramics, it is difficult to avoid the formation of a recast layers and cracks. These deffects significantly spoil some excellent properties of ceramics. This paper describes the feasibility of a crack-free processing method. for hot-pressed silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics with an yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) laser. It is found that, in order to attain the defect-free machining, it is necessary to process the ceramics using a laser beam pulsed below 500 ns in duration and 10 kHz in repetition rate.
