“…The process of micro-hot embossing was utilized by the researchers of [221] while manufacturing an array of micro-channels of size 5-100 µm in aluminum target material. Gau et al [222] proposed a flexible die forming process to form micro channels in aluminum foils (foil thickness 50 and 75 µm). They produced microchannels of width size less than 1000 µm.…”

Laser beam machining (LBM) has proven its applications and advantages over almost all the range of engineering materials. It offers its competences from macro machining to micro and nano-machining of simple-to-complex shapes. The flipside of LBM is the existence of universal problems associated with its thermal ablation mechanism. In order to alleviate or reduce the inherent problems of LBM, a massive research has been done during the past decade and in turn build a relatively new route of laser-hybrid processes. The hybrid approaches in laser ablation have demonstrated much improved results in terms of material removal rate, surface integrity, geometrical tolerances, thermal damage, metallurgical alterations and many more. This chapter reviews the research work carried out so far in the area of LBM and its hybrid processes for different materials and shapes.

“…Each channel acts as an independent, continuous dynode photomultiplier. Gau et al [222] proposed a flexible die forming process to form micro channels in aluminum foils (foil thickness 50 and 75 µm). Industries for MCP applications range from astronomy to aerospace, machine-building, experimental physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, and ecology.…”

“…Gau et al. 14 also used aluminum foils to obtain micro-channels based on the rubber pad forming process. He got a conclusion that when die is slightly changed, there would be a large variation in the channels on the aluminum foils.…”

Rubber pad forming is one of advance processing technologies. With both rubber pad and die, the sheet metal is stamped into the required shapes. The shapes of the die directly affect the final shapes of the channels on the sheet. With the developments of micro-channels, a new kind of two-step channels is concerned gradually in many fields. Since there are waved structures in these channels, many beneficial functions are caused. However, the manufacturing of this new kind channels by rubber pad forming are still not meticulously researched. This article is focused on the rubber pad forming process of different two-step channels. Different two-step channels are designed and made. Based on both FEM and physical experiments, the forming processes of these new channels are researched. The forming results are discussed and compared with each other, the best design strategy is also proposed through results.
