“…To fabricate the ultra-narrow precision metal slits, several methods including conventional machining methods and nontraditional machining methods have been employed. They mainly involve mechanical micro-milling [ 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 ], laser beam machining [ 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ], electro-discharge micromachining (Micro-EDM) [ 19 , 20 ], electron beam machining [ 21 ], electrochemical micromachining (Micro-ECM) [ 22 ], chemical milling [ 23 , 24 ], micro-electroforming (Micro-EF) [ 25 , 26 , 27 ], etc. For example, Xia et al [ 28 ] utilized laser-induced oxidation-assisted micro-milling to fabricate high aspect ratio micro-slits on Ti6Al4V with a width of 0.5 mm and an aspect ratio of 5.4.…”
