“…The reduction in thermo-mechanical loads on the machined surface for the UVLAT process generated lower machining forces, lower surface roughness, and lesser surface damage which possibly led to the significant grain refinement and uniform distribution of grains. Deswal and Kant 21 explained that significant grain refinement during the UVLAT process was observed due to the reduction in thermo-mechanical load. Grains were found to be more refined at higher laser power due to the reduction in machining forces, surface roughness, and surface damage.…”

“…This may be the possible reason for higher microhardness during the UVLAT process than that of the other processes. Furthermore, Deswal and Kant 21 explained that reduction in thermo-mechanical loads on the finished surface was the primary indication of higher microhardness for the UVLAT process than the individual processes. Also, the microhardness was observed to be increased with an increase in laser power due to the generation of a lesser thermo-mechanical load on the machined surface during the UVLAT process.…”

“…Gurgen and Sofuoglu 19 presented a case study to machine the aerospace-grade alloy for the combined heat and ultrasonic vibration energies, simultaneously during the turning process. Deswal and Kant 20,21 combined laser and ultrasonic vibration energies, simultaneously during the turning process and found improvement in machinability characteristics for the hybrid machining process when compared with the CT process. Kim et al 22 also utilized laser and ultrasonic vibration energies, simultaneously during the turning process and reported a reduction in machining forces, increment in machining temperature, and reduction in surface roughness for the hybrid machining process than the CT process.…”

Surface integrity of the machined surface is an important aspect considering their surface alterations, metallurgical effects, and mechanical characteristics during the machining process. Industries have been seeking a capable machining technology that can improve the machining process capabilities especially in an eco-friendly manner. Hybrid machining processes have shown significant improvement in machining performance when compared with the conventional turning (CT) process without using any cutting fluids. Moreover, a recently developed hybrid machining technology, that is, ultrasonic-vibration-laser assisted turning (UVLAT) has shown better machinability than the CT process. Therefore, an attempt has been made to improve the surface integrity of aluminum 3003 alloy in terms of machining forces, surface roughness, surface damage, microstructure, microhardness, residual stresses, and corrosion behavior during the UVLAT process. A comparative surface integrity analysis has been performed among the CT, ultrasonic vibration assisted turning (UVAT), laser assisted turning (LAT), and UVLAT processes. Significant improvement in the surface integrity has been observed for the aluminum 3003 alloy during the UVLAT process in comparison to the CT, UVAT, and LAT processes. The periodic separation of the cutting tool and thermal softening of the workpiece material, simultaneously during the UVLAT process is the possible reason for the improvement in surface integrity. Results demonstrated that the UVLAT process has an excellent potential to enhance the surface integrity of aluminum alloys and is better than the CT, UVAT, and LAT processes.

“…Furthermore, the increase in machining temperature was more obvious at higher laser power due to the excess intensity created by the laser heating at the workpiece surface. Deswal and Kant described that more energy was transferred by the laser heat source at higher laser power which was responsible for higher machining temperature in the UVLAT process than that of the CT, UVAT, and LAT processes [24]. In addition, they revealed that higher machining temperature was responsible for higher material thermal softening due to which lesser machining forces were obtained during the UVLAT process.…”

“…Deswal and Kant combined laser and ultrasonic vibration energies in the feed direction, simultaneously in the turning process and found improvement in machining forces, chip morphology, and surface roughness for the hybrid machining process than that of the CT process [23]. Apart from that, the combined laser and ultrasonic and vibration energies have also been employed in the tangential direction and revealed significant improvement in the machining performance for the hybrid machining process compared to the CT process [24]. Kim et al also utilized laser and ultrasonic vibration energies, simultaneously during the turning process to investigate the machining forces, machining temperature, and surface roughness.…”

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.
