A review on laser beam machining process modeling and optimization

Abstract

Machining of advanced materials by conventional methods consequences in increased high cutting temperature, high cutting force magnitudes, tool wear, lesser tool life and meagre machined surface. Machining of these materials by conventional methods are originate to be uneconomic. Researches are attracted towards laser beam machining (LBM) between the various nonconventional machining methods. This paper focuses the probable usage of LBM for various materials machining, current progress, benefits and challenges in machining, process parameters and performance characteristics, modeling and optimization. There is need to agreeably designed process parameters which is appropriate to LBM. It is resolute that investigational based modeling and optimization methods are essential to generate model that gives very good fitting with experiments, while determining the effects of several process parameters.
