Increasing demand for miniaturized components as micro-holes with diameters ranging from a few microns to hundreds of microns used in automobile, aviation, electronics, and medical industries makes laser beam drilling (LBD) a viable option in today's manufacturing environment. The LBD processes...

Developing advanced engineering materials with enhanced mechanical and metallurgical properties has caused non-traditional machining (NTM) processes to emerge as cost-effective and energy-efficient options. Improper settings of the input parameters of those processes may often lead to inferior...
