Wüthrich, Rolf, Hof, L.A.

Machining of various electrically non-conductive materials is possible with Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE). Even though this technology presents several interesting properties like...

The current signal in Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE), what does it tell us ? (2006)

Wüthrich, Rolf, Spaelter, Ulrich, Bleuler, Hannes

Spark-assisted chemical engraving (SACE) is a promising micro-machining technology for the low-cost machining of holes and channels in non-conducting materials, such as glass and some ceramics....

A systematic characterization method for gravity-feed micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE) (2006)

Wüthrich, Rolf, Spaelter, Ulrich, Wu, Y, Bleuler, Hannes

Gravity-feed drilling is the most commonly used method for micro-hole drilling in glass with spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE). This paper proposes a method allowing the systematic...

Bubble evolution on a vertical electrode under extreme current densities (2005)

Wüthrich, Rolf, Comninellis, Christos, Bleuler, Hannes

Under gas evolution, the current voltage characteristics of an electrochemical cell are strongly affected by the presence of growing bubbles. At high current densities, the evolution of the bubbles...

Spark assisted chemical engraving (SACE) in microfactory (2005)
