Laser Assisted Machining of Titanium Alloys

Article Preview

Abstract:

Laser assisted machining is categorized in preheat machining process. The laser beam used to heat up work materials is very flexible in providing a localized heat area. However the combination between two processes which has totally different fundamental has contributed to complex processing characteristics. In the case of hard to machined metal processing, problems in surface integrity and accuracy are frequently arise. Tool ware and work material properties changes are some of the issue that drove engineers and researchers to seek for optimized processing parameters. This chapter introduces resent finding in research done on laser assisted machining (LAM). Focus is given on laser assisted mechanical machining consist of laser assisted milling (LAM) and laser assisted turning (LAT).
