An advance approach is essential for enhancing the machinability of materials used in critical industries. Laser-assisted machining (LAM) is the leading manufacturing process that significantly improves the machinability of high-temperature and hard-to-cut materials, which are employed in the defense, aerospace, robotics, and advanced automotive industries. The benefit of these difficult-to-cut materials is their great temperature resistance for sophisticated machining operations at elevated temperatures. The distinctive properties of these materials, including wear resistance, high strength and stiffness, and chemical resistance, are the reasons for the optimum utilization of these materials in my advanced domains. Poor surface integrity, high temperatures at the cutting surface, and extreme cutting forces are reasons to choose an advanced machining technique like laser-assisted hybrid machining over conventional machining. Laser-assisted machining is the versatile manufacturing process where the machining of high-temperature alloys is very efficient and accurate. Different advanced optimization techniques can be applied to machine such materials by using LAM. This study focuses on the Process and the advances of LAM when applied to various challenging materials.
