Abstract

Laser-assisted milling represents an innovative method to realize rough machining of hard-to-machine materials with less tool wear or an increased material removal rate. This paper describes experiments and simulations of locally heating the material with laser radiation to achieve a controlled heat impact. A simulation model is established using parameter variation of available material parameters. The influence of these parameters on the transient temperature field in the material is analyzed and an interrelation of laser and milling parameters is deduced.
