Abstract: High-performance Ox-Ox ceramics material composites (CMC) are a strategic building block in the aerospace industry and high-temperature applications. The ceramics material composites are hard to machine due to high hardness, fracture toughness, and heterogeneous structures. Furthermore, it is prone to brittle fracture during the machining process. In this study, we successfully demonstrate ultrafast laser machining technology to machine Ox-Ox CMCs. A picosecond laser has been used to machine slots to understand the impact of laser process parameters on the material removal mechanism by performing deep machining. Different scan rates and a number of over-scans have been employed to understand the material removal mechanism, which is dominated by laser ablation and aided by melting due to the residual surface temperature. The maximum material removal rate of 21.75 mm3/min has been achieved for the scan rate of 300 mm/s. This can be related to the reduction in the ablation threshold and the critical balance between the material removal mechanism by ablation and melting. It was found that, the surface roughness of the cut surface has decreased due to melting and solidification. The cross-sectional examination reveals two distinct surface structures, which are entirely resolidified and thermally eroded regions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
