    This document discusses laser-assisted machining of Inconel 718 and ceramics. It presents the methodology which involves turning Inconel 718 with a coated carbide tool, then using a pulsed Nd:YAG laser with varying power levels to assist the machining. The final stage will synchronize the laser with a CNC machine using a stepper motor. Laser-assisted machining improves machinability by reducing cutting forces, improving surface finish, and reducing tool wear when machining difficult-to-cut materials like superalloys and ceramics.

    Manufacturing of 3-axis machine used for cutting

    ceramic work piece.

    Abstract: - Nickel-based super alloys including Inconel 718 (IN718) are widely used in aerospace
    industries due to their superior high temperature strength, toughness, and corrosion resistance. These
    alloys are difficult to machine mainly because of their low thermal conductivity and high work hardening
    rate, which cause steep temperature gradient and high cutting forces at the tool edge. Super alloys have
    high strengths at elevated temperatures, which make them attractive toward various applications and
    also make these materials difficult to machine at room temperature due to excessive tool wear and poor
    surface finish. Laser-assisted machining (LAM) offers the ability to machine super alloys more efficiently
    and economically by providing the local heating of the work piece prior to material removal by a single
    point cutting tool. The machinability of Inconel 718 under varying conditions is evaluated by examining
    tool wear, forces, surface roughness, and specific cutting energy.
    Keywords: Laser-assisted machining; Inconel 718; Super alloys; Ceramic.

    Introduction
    Laser assisted machining is one of the advanced manufacturing process. Laser assisted machining
    improves machining characteristics by reducing the cutting force finishing the surface roughness and
    tool wear. Now a days Ceramics and super alloys are mainly used in aerospace industries due to their
    oxidation- and corrosion-resistant property. Inconel is used to make dome, aft shaft, whereas Ceramics
    are used to make nose and outer dome in missiles. Machining of super alloys and ceramics is expensive.
    In order to reduce machining cost laser assisted machining process is considered for machining. Laser
    technology offers different method of beam generation with continuous wave or pulsed wave of m. In
    laser beam power may vary from 109 W/cm2 to 1015 W/cm2. We have used Nd:YAG laser which act as a
    heat source.

    Methodology
    This project is divided in three different part.
    1. Turning of superalloy with a hard submicron substrate, TiAlN PVD coated grade followed by a
    special 'SUMO TEC' surface treatment. Suitable for turning hard nickel base alloys / Inconel (4050 HRC) at low to medium cutting speeds.
