Application of laser and electrochemical interaction in sequential and hybrid micromachining processes

One of the research and development trends in nowadays manufacturing technology is integration of different manufacturing techniques into single machine tool. In the first part of the paper possibilities, goals, reasons and advantages of thermal and electrochemical interaction have been characterized. As literature review indicates such a connection can be realized as sequential or hybrid machining. The second part of the paper focuses on detailed analysis of laser assisted electrochemical process. For this purpose, the mathematical model of workpiece heating has been developed. Based on obtained results and literature review possibilities of technical realization and potential application have been discussed.
