Composite machining is the application of the combined action of various forms of energy to achieve material removal. Some common types of processing with different forms of energy
According to the characteristics of the processing material and the requirements of precision and efficiency, a large number of new composite processing methods with different characteristics can be combined. The following three types of typical composite machining features, key technologies and possible accuracy are systematically reviewed.
1) Mechanochemical processing and chemical mechanical processing. It is mainly used for more precise processing of brittle materials and no damage to the surface and sub-surface.
2) Magnetic field assisted machining. It is mainly used to solve the problem of high efficiency of precision machining.
3) Laser-assisted turning. Mainly used to improve machinability of difficult-to-cut materials
