An Analysis of Laser Machining

The minaturization of the components demands to have better machining process which fullfills the demand of tighter allowance and less process effect on component material. Laser Machining is one of the solution to such problems. The book covers various types of lasers,system components and process parameters to be employed for laser machining to obtain the required cut characteristics. The main problems like taper on kerfwall and dross are dealt and solution to eliminate such problems is proposed. Also the application of DOE and Taguchi technique of optimization for kerf width are discussed. The book is useful for graduate students, reserachers and practising engineers.
