“…The results showed that optimizing the laser power was crucial for machined surface roughness and machining efficiency, as shown in figure 22(b). Dominguez-Caballero et al [181] and Deswal and Kant [182] introduced a hybrid LUVAM technique to enhance the machinability of Ti-6Al-4V alloy in a turning process. The combined effect of the laser and ultrasonic assistance was particularly noticeable at the lowest cutting speed of 20 m min −1 , resulting in significant reductions in cutting forces in the tangential, radial, and feed directions, as shown in figure 22(c).…”

Difficult-to-cut materials such as titanium alloys, high-temperature alloys, metal/ceramic/polymer-matrix composites, hard and brittle materials, as well as geometrically complex components such as thin-walled structures, micro channels and complex surfaces, are widely used in aerospace community. Mechanical machining is the main material removal process and responsible for the vast majority of material removal for aerospace components. Nevertheless, it encounters many problems in terms of severe and rapid tool wear, low machining efficiency, and deteriorated surface integrity. Nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining is a hybrid process in which nontraditional energies, e.g., vibration, laser, electric, etc., are applied to improve the machinability of local material and decrease burden of mechanical machining. It provides a feasible and promising way for improving machinability and surface quality, reducing process forces, and prolonging tool life, etc. However, systematic reviews of this technology are lacking with respect to the current research status and development direction. This paper reviews recent progress in nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining of difficult-to-cut materials and components in aerospace community. It focuses on the processing principles, material responses under nontraditional energy, resultant forces and temperatures, material removal mechanisms and applications of these processes including vibration-, laser-, electric-, magnetic-, chemical-, cryogenic cooling-, and hybrid nontraditional energies-assisted mechanical machining. Eventually, a comprehensive summary of the principles, advantages and limitations for each hybrid process is provided, and future perspectives on forward design, device development and sustainability of nontraditional energy-assisted mechanical machining processes are discussed.

“…The ultrasonic vibration-assisted laser-assisted turning (UVLAT) technology has been proven to achieve the lowest cutting force for the tangential, radial, and feed force components. When compared to conventional turning (CT), ultrasonic-assisted turning (UAT), and laser-assisted turning (LAT), LUAM technology reduces the cutting forces in the tangential, radial, and feed directions by 70.1%, 59%, and 43%, respectively [ 218 ]. Figure 15 displays a chart comparing the cutting forces of these four processes in the tangential, radial, and feed directions.…”

SiCp/Al composite materials are widely used in various industries such as the aerospace and the electronics industries, primarily due to their excellent material properties. However, their machinability is significantly weakened due to their unique characteristics. Consequently, efficient and precise machining technology for SiCp/Al composite materials has become a crucial research area. By conducting a comprehensive analysis of the relevant research literature from both domestic and international sources, this study examines the processing mechanism, as well as the turning, milling, drilling, grinding, special machining, and hybrid machining characteristics, of SiCp/Al composite materials. Moreover, it summarizes the latest research progress in composite material processing while identifying the existing problems and shortcomings in this area. The aim of this review is to enhance the machinability of SiCp/Al composite materials and promote high-quality and efficient processing methods.

“…The higher damage on the machined surface was observed during the UVLAT process than that of the CT process (figure 5) and the reason was explained in section 3.4 which corelates well with the surface roughness. Kim et al and Dominguez-Caballero et al also reported higher surface roughness during the UVLAT process when compared with the CT process [26,28]. According to them, higher machining temperature during the UVLAT process led to higher heat affected zone with severe thermal damage, resulting in higher damage on the machined surface and higher surface roughness for the UVLAT process than the CT process.…”

The utilization of various energy sources to assist the machining process has become prominent to achieve substantial improvement in machining performance. These energy sources have also resulted in an alternative to cutting fluids which is safer for both the universe and human beings. The combined action of laser and ultrasonic vibration energies during the turning process has shown significant achievement in machining process capabilities. Therefore, an attempt has been made to provide ultrasonic vibration in the radial direction and laser to preheat aluminium 3003 alloy simultaneously during the ultrasonic-vibration-laser assisted turning (UVLAT) process. Machining performance has been analyzed in terms of machining forces, machining temperature, chip morphology, surface damage, and surface roughness. A comparative machining performance analysis has been carried out among the conventional turning (CT), laser assisted turning (LAT), ultrasonic vibration assisted turning (UVAT), and UVLAT processes. The outcomes of the current study indicate significant benefits of the UVLAT process on the machining performance of aluminium 3003 alloy. However, surface damage and surface roughness have been affected negatively during the UVLAT process due to the pin-point hammering and particle adhesion on the workpiece part. Hence, the selection of vibration direction is a critical factor during the vibration machining processes.
