Residual stress conditions in laser-assisted machining

, , &
Pages 296-299 | Published online: 05 Jan 2010
 

Summary

The use of a laser beam upsets the thermal and therefore the energy balance of the cutting mechanism, which leads to reduced cutting force and tool wear. However, the most important aspect is the ability to control residual stresses. These are usually unfavourable in conventional machining but become favourable in laser machining. The ultimate is to carry out surface hardening in machining real-time.
