Laser assisted micro milling of hard materials

This thesis presents an investigation of novel laser assisted micromachining processes that addresses the limitations of micromachining of hard-to-machine materials. Two different laser assisted approaches are used to machine hard metals and high strength ceramics. For hard metals, the basic approac...
