Mechanism modelling and validation of ultrasonic vibration-assisted laser processing on metal surfaces.

At present, with the development of high technology and materials science, the traditional laser processing (NLP) method is no longer sufficient for the preparation of special surface profiles in the field of cutting-edge manufacturing. Ultrasonic vibration assisted laser processing (UVLP) is gradually being developed by researchers, but is largely experimental study in nature. In this paper, a mathematical model of the transverse ultrasonic composite laser ablation trajectory of metals is developed, and the feasibility of the model is verified by numerical simulations and experiments by using aluminum as the base material.
