It is based on the assumption that boreholes always have conical geometries when the drilling process terminates. We show that the model is valid for various process parameters when drilling in stainless steel. This was even confirmed by drilling with 3 mJ pulses, which resulted in a 10 mm deep borehole without thermal damage.processing @ifsw peerCommunity for tag(s) processing @ifsw peer
