Mathematical Modeling of the Effect of CO2 Laser Power on Texture Size on Polyoxmethylene (POM) Sheet

Abstract

Variation of the groove size depending on the laser power has been modeled in this proposed mathematical model. It is obtained by polymerization of Polyoxymethylene formaldehyde, a semi-crystalline polymer, and is among the hardest and strongest thermoplastics. Polyoxymethylene can be used in slip friction pairs without lubrication. Polyoxymethylene materials are widely used for materials in tribological applications. They also show good friction properties.
