Machinability Improvement of Hard-to-Machine Materials by Monitoring and Controlling Laser Heating

This research examines the benefits of localised workpiece heating in metal machining with a laser source for reduce cutting forces and improve machinability. The study develops a three-dimensional numerical model for laser preheating on a rotating metal cylinder with experimental validation to eval...
