Abstract
Composite materials and some exotic alloys have been used in the fabrication of both structural and non-structural members of the air-frames and engines of aircrafts. Different machining processes, such as the use of traditional solid tools with modified cutters, ultrasonic cutting and drilling, water-jet cutting, abrasive water-jet cutting, electron beam welding, and various laser processes have been applied successfully to the processing of these materials. In this paper, the physical mechanisms, the advantages as well as the limitations, and examples of application of the laser processes that are used to machine aircraft components are reviewed.
