A hybrid-hybrid (ultrasonic-assisted + laser-assisted) turning study of silicon carbide reinforced aluminium metal matrix composite is presented. The results show a significant reduction of average cutting force with an improved surface finish of machined components compared to conventional machining, implying that this new and novel paradigm is a viable machining process.
