Abstract: Pulsed Nd:YAG laser beam is widely applied in micro-machining with different micro-scale geometries on engineering materials such as ceramics, composites, and diamond. The present research papers deals with the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) based mathematical modelling and analysis on machining characteristics of pulsed Nd:YAG laser during micro-grooving operation on flat surface of aluminium titanate. An attempt has been made to optimise laser parametric setting for achieving accurate taper angles of micro-grooves. Based on the modelling and parametric optimisation analysis, the optimal laser process parametric setting has been obtained as air pressure of 0.9 kg/cm², lamp current of 20.4 amp, pulse frequency of 2.8 kHz, pulse width of 2.7% of duty cycle and cutting speed 10 mm/s for achieving the optimum taper angle of 11.1°.
