Abstract
Laser beam machining (LBM) has proven its applications and advantages over almost all the range of engineering materials. It offers its competences from macro machining to micro and nano-machining of simple-to-complex shapes. The flipside of LBM is the existence of universal problems associated with its thermal ablation mechanism. In order to alleviate or reduce the inherent problems of LBM, a massive research has been done during the past decade and in turn build a relatively new route of laser-hybrid processes. The hybrid approaches in laser ablation have demonstrated much improved results in terms of material removal rate, surface integrity, geometrical tolerances, thermal damage, metallurgical alterations and many more.
