“…Thermally assisted machining (TAM) methods have been proposed to enhance the machinability of these difficult-to-cut materials, in which a local heat source (e.g. laser beam, plasma beam [10]) is placed ahead of the cutting area to preheat the workpiece material locally and thereby reduce its strength during the machining process. With the rapid development of laser technology, laser assisted techniques now have many advantages over other pre-heating techniques, e.g.…”

Laser assisted machining (LAM) is one of the most efficient ways to improve the machinability of difficultto-cut materials (e.g. Nickel-based superalloys). In the conventional LAM process, the laser beam is focused ahead of the cutting area at a fixed location, which leads to a series of restrictions, e.g. small heating area and non-uniform heat distribution due to the limitation of beam size and energy distribution. In this paper, a novel spatially and temporally (S&T) controlled laser heating method was proposed, in which a large area can be heated up with a small laser spot by controlling the beam scanning, i.e., laser power, path and speed of scanning. The laser configuration for the prescribed HAZ (heat affected zone) was achieved by solving the inverse problem where the laser power together with either laser path or laser speed were optimised to achieve a particular temperature distribution in the chip to be removed by the following milling cutter. The proposed S&T laser heating method was thoroughly validated both for the forward and, the more important, inverse heating models by performing extensive temperature experiments by both infrared thermal camera and thermocouple array and further verified by laser assisted milling (LAMill) tests of Inconel 718 for large widths of cuts. The results showed that by applying path-optimised LAMill based on the inverse solution of the thermal problem, the peak and mean principal cutting forces were reduced by 55% and 47.8% respectively compared with the conventional dry milling process while the surface roughness improved by at least 14%. Moreover, after controlling the HAZ using the inverse thermal problem, a microstructure analysis of the machined surface showed that the proposed laser heating method avoids overheating of the workpiece below the planned depth of cut for the milling operation.

“…Other studies suggested measuring the wear and the edge profile of the cutting tool using predicted or developed theoretical models, simulation software and edges scanned 2D images [25][26][27][28][29]. However, there are still some percentage difference and deviations values between the results gained by the theoretical models and the manufacturer data.…”

This work aimed to identify the work‐hardening regions in shear zones when the AL‐6XN super austenitic stainless steel alloy was machined using a turning machine. A quick‐stop approach was used to generate frozen chip roots. Two cutting speeds of 94 m/min and 65 m/min, a feed rate of 0.2 mm/rev and depth of cut of 1 mm were applied in this study. Microhardness measurements were executed in the hardening region (workpiece–shear zone–chip zone). Results showed that the hardness values were significantly increased in the primary shear zone and the formed chip. The wear of the cutting tool used to machine the alloy was investigated using scanning electron microscope. Excessive notch wear was located on the cutting edge when 65 m/min cutting speed was utilized while at 94 m/min cutting speed, the cutting edge was completely damaged as a flake of the edge was removed due to hard cutting processes. The profile measurement of the cutting tool was executed using an optical profilometer to reveal the changes in the cutting edges locations and profiles and their implication on machining process.

“…6 The most widely used methods for case-integrated mobile device antennas are the double injection molding process, 8 PDS (Printing Direct Structure), 9,10 DPA (Direct Printing Antenna), 11,12 and LPS (Laser Plating Structuring). [13][14][15] These manufacturing technologies use different materials and have advantages and disadvantages. Although they facilitate the production of ultrathin, high-performance, multiband, and wideband antennas, the manufacturing costs are higher than those corresponding to existing manufacturing techniques, and reliability issues, such as the adhesion force under high temperature and high humidity, still exist.…”

This study proposes a method to improve the manufacturing process of a surface anchor structure for the injection molding along with bonding properties of the plating layer for antennas, which can be applied to the Laser Direct Plating (LDP) process for the production of a three-dimensional antenna integrated with a mobile device case. By adjusting parameters such as the output of the laser processing, scanning speed, and pulse recurrence frequency, a micro anchor structure was developed on the surface of the injection mold. The measurement of the surface roughness using a 3D surface profiler showed that the roughness improved by approximately 3.6 times, from 0.96 to 3.24 µm. In addition, the zigzag arrangement of the micro anchor structure was improved by 1.2 times compared to the even arrangement. Furthermore, if the micro anchor structure contained a wall after laser processing, the bonding strength of the plating solution was 69%; with no wall, it was 94% or higher. Thus, the existence of walls resulted in a difference of 1.4 times in the bonding strength. The laser processing improved the bonding strength of the plating solution on the micro anchor structure by approximately 19 times.
