Laser-assisted bending by magnetic force

In this study, a laser-assisted bending process is proposed, in which the external force is applied by magnets. The process can be used for bending the magnetic and non-magnetic materials. The experiments indicated that a large bend angle with reduced edge effect can be obtained by this process. The...
