The paper presents the discussion about the possibility of optimising heating and cutting parameters for turning under laser assisted machining (LAM) conditions. The samples of Inconel 718 after annealing and ageing were used. The laser heating experiments were carried out on the stand equipped with the CO2 molecular laser. Characterisation of samples was performed by an optical microscope, hardness measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to ensure the exact depth of heat affect zone range and to optimised further cutting parameters. Different absorbing layers for laser beam impact improvement were tested. Turning trials were performed with constant cutting speed vc = 28 m/min and feed f = 0,2 mm/rev. The influence of depth of cut ap on microstructure and its properties were investigated. It was proven that for sequential LAM dendritic structure appears in the laser affected zone of the Ni-based alloy. Such microstructures cause better machinability of Inconel 718 due to surface softening.

Laser assisted machining is categorized in preheat machining process. The laser beam used to heat up work materials is very flexible in providing a localized heat area. However the combination between two processes which has totally different fundamental has contributed to complex processing characteristics. In the case of hard to machined metal processing, problems in surface integrity and accuracy are frequently arise. Tool ware and work material properties changes are some of the issue that drove engineers and researchers to seek for optimized processing parameters. This chapter introduces resent finding in research done on laser assisted machining (LAM). Focus is given on laser assisted mechanical machining consist of laser assisted milling (LAM) and laser assisted turning (LAT).

Laser assisted manufacturing (LAM) processes, when compared with traditional manufacturing processes, have the potential to reduce cost, increase surface finish, extend part/tool life, and expand the range of manufacturable materials. However, very limited research has been done to evaluate the environmental performance of laser assisted processes and it is generally not clear how LAM processes compare with traditional methods. This paper conducts case studies on two representative laser based processes, i.e. laser shock peening of 7065 T7351 Aluminum and laser assisted turning of compacted graphite iron. Life cycle assessment is used to benchmark the environmental performance of these two processes to conventional processes, i.e. shot peening and dry turning, respectively. The life cycle inventory of both the laser based processes and conventional processes are developed using SimaPro v7.1 and Ecoinvent 2.0 and life cycle impact assessment is performed using US EPA TRACI. It is found that environmental performance of laser based processes varies significantly from process to process due to materials and energy consumption. Laser shock peening of aluminum has much better performance when over all environmental impact categories considered. Contribution analysis indicates that this is mainly due to the fact that laser shock peening does not need shot medium and at the same time significantly extends fatigue life of the workpiece. However, due to high electricity consumption and use of absorptive paint, laser assisted turning of compacted graphite iron has much higher environmental impacts than traditional dry turning, even after extending the tool life significantly.
