Investigation of Laser-Assisted Micro-Milling Process of Inconel 718
While Inconel 718 is a widely used engineering material in industrial fields such as the aerospace and automotive fields, the machined surface integrity has a significant effect on the performance of its components and parts. In this work, the laser-assisted micro-milling process of Inconel 718 is investigated using a combination of experiments and finite element simulations. Firstly, an experimental platform of laser-assisted milling is built, and a three-dimensional thermal–mechanical coupled finite element model of laser-assisted milling of Inconel 718 is then established. Secondly, laser-assisted milling experiments and finite element simulations are conducted to investigate the impact of laser assistance on cutting force, chip morphology, tool wear and surface topography of Inconel 718 under a milling process. The results indicate that laser-assisted milling results in a moderate reduction in cutting forces while enhancing surface integrity and chip continuity, as compared with ordinary milling. Thirdly, orthogonal experiments of laser-assisted milling of Inconel 718 are conducted to discover the optimal processing parameters, including spindle speed, feed per tooth, milling depth and laser parameters. Finally, single-factor experiments are conducted to investigate the effect of laser power on cutting force, chip morphology, tool wear, groove burr and surface roughness in the laser-assisted milling of Inconel 718. And, a minimal surface roughness Sa of 137 nm for Inconel 718 accompanied by minimal tool wear is experimentally obtained via laser-assisted milling. These findings highlight the effectiveness of applying laser assistance in enhancing the machinability of difficult-to-machine materials for achieving desirable machined surface integrity.
