On this study, technical aspects were reviewed to drill a series of micro holes (${\phi}$0.10) over 200 within a few micron tolerance in diameter and position on the stainless steel material. Dedicated tools & jigs were designed and manufactured and optimum cutting conditions were found. On this micro hole drilling process, guide drill and step feeding were applied to help chip discharge, prevent drill breakage and finally improve the accuracy of positioning and roundness. The processing results indicated that most holes are distributed within a few micron tolerance in diameter and position intervals.

Ceramic plates containing many micro-holes are used in diverse applications such as MCP (Microchannel Plate). catalytic converters, filters, electrical insulators in integrated circuits, and so on. One of the efficient methods for machining many holes in ceramic plates is wet drilling of ceramic green bodies followed by sintering them. Since the strength of ceramic green bodies is much lower than the strength of sintered ceramic plate, ceramic green bodies can be drilled with high feed rate. The axial force during micro-drilling of ceramic green bodies increases rapidly at high feed rate, which induces the crack in workpiece. Therefore, the tool lift of micro-drill with respect to feed rate may be determined by the predicting increase of axial force. In this work, the axial force during micro-drilling was calculated using the chip flow model on the micro-drill tip. from which the tool life of diamond abrasive micro-drill during micro-drilling of ceramic green bodies was calculated.

Micro-holes of conductive ceramic are required in micro structures. Micro-electrical discharge machining (Micro-EDM) is an effective machining method since EDM is as process for shaping hard metals and complex-shaped holes by spark erosion in all kinds of electro-conductive materials. However, as the depth of micro hole increases, the machining condition becomes more unstable due to inefficient removal of debris between the electrode and the workpiece. In this paper, micro-EDM was performed to evaluate machining characteristic such as electrode wear, machining time, taper angle, radial clearance with varying voltage and ultrasonic vibration on 10 vol.% Carbon-nanotube reinforced conductive $Al_2O_3$ composite fabricated by spark plasma sintering in previous research.

Micro-abrasive jet machining(${\mu}AJM$) using mask is a fine machining technology which can carve a figure on a material. The mask should have holes exactly same as the required figure. Abrasive particles are jetted into the holes of the mask and it collide with the material. The collision break off small portion of the material. And the ${\mu}AJM$ nozzle should move all over the machining area. However, in general the carving shape is modeled as in a bitmap figure, because it often contains characters. And the mask model is also often modeled from the bitmap image. Therefore, the machining path of the ${\mu}AJM$ also efficient if it can be generated from the bitmap image. This paper suggest an algorithm which can generate ${\mu}AJM$ tool path directly from the bitmap image of the carving figure. And shows some test results and applications.

Recently UV laser is widely used to process micro parts using various materials such as polymers, metals and ceramics because it has a very high intensity at the focused spot area. It is generally known that there are still some difficulties for alumina($Al_2O_3$) ceramics to directly make micro patterns like holes and lines on the surface of working material using 355nm UV laser because the alumina has a very low absorption coefficient at that wavelength. But nowadays new alumna with nano-porous holes is developed and applied to advanced micro functional parts of IT, BT and BT industries. In this paper, we are going to show the mechanism of photo-thermal ablation for nano-porous ceramics. Inside hole there is a lot of multiple reflections along the depth of hole. Experimentally we can find the micro hole drilling and micro grooving on the surface of nano-porous alumina.

Although many efforts have been made in making nanometer-sized holes, there is still a major challenge in fabricating individual single-digit nanometer holes in a more controllable way for different materials, size distribution and hole shapes. In this paper we describe our efforts to use a top down approach in nanofabrication method to make single-digit nanoholes. There are three major steps towards the fabrication of a single-digit nanohole. 1) Preparing the freestanding thin film by epitaxial deposition and electrochemical etching. 2) Making sub-micro holes ($0.2{\mu}\;to\;0.02{\mu}$) by focused ion beam (FIB), electron beam (EB), atomic force microscope (AFM), and others methods. 3) Reducing the hole size to less than 10 nm by epitaxial deposition, FIB or EB induced deposition and micro coating. Preliminary work has been done on thin films (30 nm in thickness) preparation, sub-micron hole fabrication, and E-beam induced deposition. The results are very promising.

The present work presents condensation heat transfer and pressure drop data for the flow of R-12 in flat extruded aluminum tubes with small hydraulic diameters. The tube outside dimensions are $18mm(width){\times}1.7mm(height)$. Three types of internal geometry with the same outside dimensions are tested : sample 1 (7 tube holes), sample 2 (13 tube holes) and sample 3 (7 tube holes, micro-fin). The overall heat transfer coefficient is obtained for air-to-refrigerant heat transfer, and the Wilson plot method is used to determine the heat transfer coefficient for refrigerant flow. The sample 2 and sample 3 show significantly higher performance than sample 1. The heat transfer rates for the sample 2 and sample 3 are 9% and 12% higher, respectively, than sample 1. The friction factors for the sample 2 and sample 3 are 11.9% and 2.4% higher, respectively, than sample 1.

Recently, as the aged population grows around the world, many medical instruments, devices, and their fabrication processes are developing. Among the devices, a drug delivery stent is a good example for precision machining. Conventional drug delivery stent has problem of the remaining polymer because the drug is coated on the surface with it. If the drug is impregnated into the micro hole array on the stent surface, the polymer can be perfectly eliminated. Micro sized holes are generally fabricated by laser machining however, the fabricated holes do not have an enough aspect ratio to contain the drug or a good surface finish to deliver the stend to blood vessel tissue. To overcome these problems, we propose a vibration-assisted machining mechanism with PZT (Piezoelectric Transducers) for abrication of micro sized holes better. The results indicated that the burr size can be significantly decreased with vibration assisted in nanosecond pulse laser drilling test.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of defect on fatigue strength under the stress of rotary bending. The specimens were made of low carbon steel having artificial microholes, namely, single micro-hole and two adjacent micro-holes as natural defects, and the effects of the diameter of hole and the distance between the holes on fatigue strength have been investigated. The obtained result can be summarized as follows: 1, The critical defect means the largest size of defect that does not affect fatigue limit, and correspondes to the size of defect leading to final fracture under fatigue limit of smooth specimen. The size of defect which has an effect on fatigue limit is larger than that of critical defect. 2, The defect larger than the critical defect affects fatigue strength for as a kind of size effect, and the physical meaning of size effect of defect is considered same as the one of notch effect.

Electrochemical micromachining which is not normally considered as a precision process is presented in this paper. The application of voltage Pulses between a tool electrode and a workpiece in an electrochemical environment allows the three-dimensional machining of conducting materials with micrometer precision. In this paper tool-electrodes($5\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter, 1mm in length) are developed by electrochemical micromaching and micro holes are manufactured using this tool-electrodes we developed already. Micro holes are achieved the accuracy below $50\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter using ultrashort voltage pulses(0.1-5$\mu\textrm{s}$).
