Experimental investigations of deep-hole drilling of two aerospace materials, Inconel 718 Nickel-based superalloy and E52100 high carbon steel, were conducted using a pulsed solid state NdrYAG laser. The Taguchi technique of experimental design was used to optimize the process parameters. Drilling t...
