In the experiment, we use pulsed laser to conduct discrete scratching on Ni-containing stainless steel protective coatings to test residual stress situation after the matrix is scratched; then to analyze the the impact of the impact stress wave on coating - substrate bonding strength according to the test results, finally to infer the laser power density range within which it occurs coating failure. The study shows that: after laser discrete scratching, the residual stress of the center of the laser-loaded point on matrix surface gradually reduces when the pulsed laser power density increases. The matrix produces a corresponding residual compressive stress under the laser power density reaches a certain value. The actual failure threshold values are 12.006 GW/cm2, 11.829GW/cm2 and 12.193GW/cm2 measured by the three-dimensional topography instrument testing the discrete scratch point of three groups of samples and verified by using a microscope

Laser peen texturing (LPT) is a novelty way of surface texturing based on laser shock processing. One of the most important benefits of LPT is that it can not only fabricate surface textures but also induce residual compressive stress for the target material. However, the residual stress loss leads to partial loss of residual compressive stress and even causes residual tensile stress at the laser spot center. This phenomenon is not conducive to improving the mechanical properties of materials. In this study, a numerical simulation model of LPT was developed and validated by comparison of surface deformation with experiments. In order to investigate the phenomenon of residual stress loss quantitatively, an evaluation method of residual stress field was proposed. The effects of laser power density and laser spot radius on the residual stress, especially the residual stress loss, were systematically investigated. It is found that with the increase of laser power density or laser spot radius, the thickness of residual compressive layer in depth direction becomes larger. However, both the magnitude and the affecting zone size of residual stress loss will be increased, which implies a more severe residual stress loss phenomenon.

The ABAQUS software was used to analyze the residual stress of TiN film treated by the single point micro-scale laser shock peening (μLSP). In view of the multi-factor effect of μLSP, the response surface methodology (RSM) of Design-Expert software was utilized to analyze the influence of laser process parameters on the residual stress in TiN film, based on the Box-Behnken experimental design methods, as a result, optimal combination of the laser process parameters was obtained. The results showed that μLSP can transform the tensile residual stress in the TiN film into the compressive residual stress, the compressive residual stress was gradually increasing with the increased laser power density, when the laser power density was 8 GW/cm2, the maximum compressive residual stress of the film surface was up to -350.48 MPa. In addition, as the laser power density increased, the maximum compressive residual stress was moving away from the spot center. The optimal combination of the laser process parameters of μLSP was obtained by the RSM, the laser power density was 7.6 GW/cm2, laser spot diameter was 283 μm, and the number of shocking was 2 times. Simulation results of the average residual stress was -248.76 MPa, while the predicting result of regression model was -245.31 MPa, the error was just 1.38 %. The results showed that μLSP was feasible for improving the residual stress distribution of TiN film, and the RSM can effectively optimize the process parameters of μLSP.

Using a simple rate equation model, the laser power density Ic necessary to reach 50% of the saturation limited population of the excited atomic level under typical flame conditions is calculated. For Na atoms aspirated into the flame a saturating power density for irradiation with a narrow dye laser line (bandwidth 0.033 Å) of Ic ~ 0.4 kW/cm2 was determined. With the aid of a dye laser with an appropriate laser power density, analytical curves for Na were measured yielding a detection limit of 0.2 ng/ml. This sensitivity is comparable with the best results obtained by atomic emission flame spectrometry.

Solidification cracking represents a significant scientific and technical challenge in the rapid fabrication of bimetallic parts involving Cu and H13 tool steel. The main cause of the cracking formation is attributed to the residual stress accumulation, which depends on the thermal history and phase transformation during the deposition. In this research, a thermomechanical three-dimensional finite element model is developed to determine the temperature history and residual stress in Cu-H13 samples deposited by the Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) process. The development of the model was carried out using the SYSWELD software package. The metallurgical transformations are taken into account using the temperature dependent material properties and the continuous cooling transformation diagram. Two different scanning strategies — alternative and unidirectional — are studied. The same model is also applied to a H13-H13 sample to compare the results. The input laser power is optimized for each layer and three different scanning speeds to maintain a steady molten pool size. It is observed that for a constant scanning speed the required laser power decreases with addition of more layers, and with the increase of scanning speed the laser power needs to be increased. The residual stress is found to be compressive near the center of the deposited wall and tensile at the free edges, which is consistent with the published experimental results in the literature. Similar stress distributions are obtained for both scanning strategies with higher stress concentration at the free edges of the interface between the substrate and the first layer. In these regions, the use of H13 substrate results in a higher stress accumulation than the Cu substrate.

This paper reports the effect of laser power density on the evolving properties of laser metal deposited titanium alloy. A total of sixteen experiments were performed, and the microstructure, microhardness and surface roughness of the samples were studied using the optical microscope (OP), microhardness indenter and stylus surface analyzer, respectively. The microstructure changed from finer martensitic alpha grain to coarser Widmastätten alpha grain structure as the laser power density was increased. The results show that the higher the laser power density employed, the smoother the obtained surface. The microhardness initially increased as the laser power density was increased and then decreased as the power density was further increased. The result obtained in this study is important for the selection of proper laser power density for the desired microstructure, microhardness and surface finish of part made from Ti6Al4V.

ABSTRACTProtein thin film (mainly silk fibroin) was prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) with 1064nm IR-beam and via colloid chemical routes. Thickness, surface roughness, and microstructures of the deposited film were examined by quartz crystal microbalance sensor, field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), and atomic force microscope (AFM). The laser power density was varied systematically for PLD to control the microstructures of the film and the secondary structure (β-sheet, α-helix, or random coil) of the protein. Secondary structure of the target and film was examined by FT-IR. Films prepared by PLD comprise by agglomerated particles with their primary particle size around 30nm. The size of the primary particles was uniform, especially for the film prepared at low laser power density. At low laser power density, proportion of β-sheet increased and that of random coil decreased. Proportion of random coil was also increased by the wet colloidal process. PLD with low power density is most suitable to preserve the secondary structure in the protein thin film.

The X-ray emission from laser-produced plasmas at an X-ray wavelength of approximately 10.4 nm was measured for Al and Gd target materials. The laser power density on the target surface was varied between 1.5 × 1010 and 3 × 1012 W/cm2 to obtain different electron temperatures. The output from the plasma was measured using an X-ray reflecting Pd-C multilayer coating as a wavelength-selective element and a diamond photoconductive detector. The emission at 10.4 nm is strongest at the low end of the power density range investigated. A strong increase is found for Al targets due to a contribution of line radiation, which is not present in the Gd plasmas. The measured conversion efficiency for Al plasmas was (4.5 ± 1)% in a 3% bandwidth at an X-ray wavelength of 10.4 nm.
