Summary
By focusing on the chip being formed, cutting forces may be minimised. A thermo-mechanical approach simulates laser interaction with materials, moving towards optimum machining conditions. Laser-assisted machining (LAM) considerably improves the machinability of metals which are difficult to machine. The reduction of specific cutting pressure is a good illustration of this.
Such a process imposes the selection of a laser source and its integration into the machine tool or machining centre. In fact, the selection of a laser source is influenced by the following: laser interaction with the material, installation of special devices such as optical path connection and a tool carriage for turning or the passage of the beam through the reaming spindle.
This article presents a rapid evaluation method for cutting forces applied to the machining of aged Inconel 718.
This concerns the coupling of a simplified linear thermal model to a generalised Oxley thermo-mechanical model.
