• Definition “Hybrid manufacturing processes are based on the simultaneous and controlled interaction of processsimultaneous and controlled interaction of process mechanisms and/or energy sources/tools having a significant effect on the process performance”
• Example: Laser Assisted Milling/Turning
significant effect on the process performance

Introduction – Hybrid Processes
• Why to apply hybrid processes– To machine materials which could not be machined earlier– Lower process forces
L t l– Less tool wear – Higher productivity– …..
• But, the simultaneous effect of process combinations can also have an effect on the surface integritycan also have an effect on the surface integrity (sometimes neglected)

with surface integrity analysis.
(more compressive) • For larger feeds reduced penetration depth
