Single pulsed laser melting in a cylindrical titanium alloy work piece is studied numerically using an axisymmetric model. Finite volume method and Tri-Diagonal Matrix Algorithm (TDMA) are used for discretization of the energy equation and solving the resulting algebraic equation respectively in order to obtain temperature distribution inside the computational domain. Heat losses from the irradiated surface takes place through convection and radiation and other surfaces are kept insulated. A volumetric and Gaussian laser is irradiated on the work piece. Validation of the present model with the existing literature is done first and the results agree very well. Then, the detailed transport phenomena during the laser melting process is studied using the model. The enthalpy porosity technique is used track the melt pool shape and size. The role of natural convection and Marangoni convection in controlling the shape of melt pool is discussed. Maximum temperature results at domain centre and it then decreases exponentially along the axial and radial direction of the work piece because of Gaussian nature of the pulse. The numerical results obtained can provide the direction to develop models for all type of laser applications used in the industry.

Molybdenum carbide (Mo2C) is a two-dimensional (2D) MXene material which makes it a promising photoelectric material. In this study, reflective type MXene Mo2C thin films were coated on a silver mirror by a magnetron sputtering method and were subsequently used in a passively Q-switched solid-state pulsed laser generator at the central wavelengths of 1.06 and 1.34 μm, respectively. The fabricated thin films of reflective type MXene Mo2C exhibited large modulation depth of 6.86% and 5.38% at the central wavelengths of 1064 and 1342 nm, respectively. By inserting the Mo2C saturable absorbers (SAs) into V-shaped Nd:YAG laser, short pulses were generated having a pulse duration, pulse energy, and average output power of 254 ns, 2.96 μJ, and 275 mW, respectively, at a wavelength of 1.06 μm. Similarly, shorter laser pulses were obtained in Nd:YVO4 laser at 1.34 μm. Our results illustrated potential of the 2D MXene Mo2C films for laser applications.
