Process
To achieve the fast evaporation of the material, the power planar density in the beam cross-section must be as high as possible: - values up to 10^7 W/mm^2 can be achieved at the spot of impact. As the electrons transfer their kinetic energy into heat in a very small volume, the material impacted by the beam is evaporated in very short time.

Famous quotes containing the word process:
“Thinking is seeing.... Every human science is based on deduction, which is a slow process of seeing by which we work up from the effect to the cause; or, in a wider sense, all poetry like every work of art proceeds from a swift vision of things.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“I wish to see, in process of disappearing, that only thing which ever could bring this nation to civil war.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“By Modernism I mean the positive rejection of the past and the blind belief in the process of change, in novelty for its own sake, in the idea that progress through time equates with cultural progress; in the cult of individuality, originality and self-expression.”
—Dan Cruickshank (b. 1949)
