Experimental Study Of Laser Beam Machining In Ti6al4v Alloy

This work aims to evaluate the performance of laser beam machining process, regarding manufactured components quality and the production efficiency. The machining tests were performed on Ti6Al4V by varying three input parameters, pulse frequency (A), laser speed (B) and laser intensity (C). The test plan was defined based on a Taguchi model, seeking to identify the influence of operating parameters on surface integrity, geometric and dimensional accuracy, as well as the material removal rate. The results show that the laser erosion process can be used with success in the manufacture of micro components and functionalities.
