Laser-Assisted Turning
Revolutionary Laser-Assisted Turning Technology for Machining Superalloys
A new hybrid technique called Laser-Assisted Turning (LAT) has been developed to effectively machine superalloys like Inconel 625, which are used in aerospace, nuclear reactors, and power generation. This method combines localized laser heating with mechanical cutting, significantly reducing tool wear and improving machining quality. Researchers at ARCI demonstrated that
