Abstract

Today, hybrid processes have a great influence on various material process fields due to factors such as improvements in the machinability and reductions of process forces. Also, the development of hybrid processes represents a new opportunity for the growth of manufacturing technology. Hybrid processes are developed to enhance the advantages of individual processes. The effect of hybrid processes is better than the sum of the advantages of a single process. Many researchers have studied a number of approaches to combine various manufacturing processes. Specifically, since the development of the laser, it has been applied in various engineering fields. Moreover, interest in laser and non-laser hybrid processes is recently increasing in various industries. The laser is a type of non-contact thermal energy technology and is used in material processing. The laser heat source can be used for the heating and preheating of various materials. In this paper, the laser is selected as an energy source and laser-assisted hybrid processes over the past five years are reviewed, including those related to machining, welding and coating processes. The last part of this paper discusses the trends in future research on laser-assisted hybrid processes.
