Abstract

Laser-assisted turning (LAT) is an effective machining method for difficult-to-cut materials, such as nickel and ceramics. Many researchers have studied the machining characteristics and the effectiveness of LAT. However, LAT is in the early stage of application, and has only been used in a limited fashion for round workpieces. Therefore, in this paper, laser-assisted turn-mill (LATM) processing is proposed to complement LAT. LATM is able to machine various section shapes than LAT by using turning and milling processes at the same time. Additionally, the influence of parameters such as laser power, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut is studied to decrease the cutting force and surface roughness. Also, the optimum machining conditions of LATM of AISI 1045 steel are determined through design of experiment
