Abstract Calcium fluoride (CaF2) exhibits excellent optical properties, making it a promising candidate for preparing optical components. The actual applications underscore the importance of enhancing the ductile machining of such a difficult-to-machine material. This study starts by investigating the influence of thermal gradient fields on the mechanical behaviors of CaF2 single crystal experimentally and theoretically, revealing the potential deformation mechanisms under various thermal additions. On this basis, a novel laser-assisted machining (LAM) scheme was proposed to enhance the deformability and machinability of CaF2 single crystal by tailoring local thermal fields. The laser heating spot within the work material… More >
