Dr. Hitomi Yamaguchi Greenslet

Project Description

Junmo's research project is working with Dr. Greenslet on a project entitled "Study of internal deburring of capillary tubes with multiple laser-machined slits using a magnetic field-assisted finishing process." Generally, these kinds of capillary tubes with multiple slits are used for medical devices, such as stents. Currently, chemical processes are applied for internal cleaning and deburring of capillary tubes. However, the chemical processes can have harmful environment effects; the new mechanical process avoids these issues. Junmo is working on tubes with 0.4 mm inner diameters to understand the deburring characteristics and mechanism.
