Numerical simulation of molten pool dynamics in high power disk laser welding

A single-phase problem is solved rather than a multiphase problem for numerical simplicity: and the solution is based on the assumption that the region of gas or plasma can be treated as a void because solid or liquid steel has a greater density level than gas or plasma. The volume-of-fluid method, which can calculate the free surface shape of the keyhole, is used in conjunction with a ray-tracing algorithm to estimate the multiple reflections. Fresnel's reflection model is simplified by the Hagen-Rubens relation for handling a laser beam interaction with materials. Factors considered in the simulations include buoyancy force, Marangoni force and recoil pressure; furthermore, pore generation is simulated by means of an adiabatic bubble model, which can also lead to the phenomenon of a keyhole collapse. Models of the shear stress on the keyhole surface and of the heat transfer to the molten pool via a plasma plume are introduced in simulations of the weld pool dynamics. Analysis of the temperature profile characteristics of the weld bead and molten pool flow in the molten pool is based on the results of the numerical simulations. The simulation results are used to estimate the weld fusion zone shape; and the results of the simulated fusion zone formation are compared with the results of the experimental fusion zone formation and found to be in good agreement. The effects of laser beam profile (Gaussian vs. measured), vapor shear stress, vapor heat source and sulfur content on the molten pool behavior and fusion zone shape are analyzed.

研究了连续波Nd:YAG激光焊接功率、速度、离焦量和侧吹保护气流量对激光深熔焊接K418与42CrMo异种金属焊缝形貌、焊缝熔深的影响,讨论了焊缝区热裂纹产生机制.结果表明,额定功率为3 kW的Nd:YAG激光深熔焊接K418与42CrMo异种金属,由于它们的物理化学性质的差异,焊缝靠近42CrMo侧易出现未熔合;激光光斑向42CrMo侧偏移可以减少焊缝靠近42CrMo侧未熔合量;通过优化侧吹保护气流量和离焦量可以增加熔深.由于K418液态金属的流动性差,导致焊缝靠近K418侧对流传热不充分,使焊缝靠近K418侧熔合线呈现锯齿形.焊缝区热裂纹的产生主要是由于焊缝区元素偏析形成的低熔物导致.     

Experimental investigation on laser beam welding of martensitic stainless steels in a constrained overlap joint configuration

This paper presents experimental investigation of laser beam welding of martensitic stainless steels in a constrained overlap configuration. Experimental studies were focused on the effects of laser power, welding speed and fiber diameter on bead geometry and mechanical properties of the weld. Metallurgical study of a selected welded joint was done only to show various microstructures typically formed at different zones. Laser power and welding speed were found the most significant factors affecting the weld geometry and shearing force. The contour plots showing constant response lines indicated the evidence of two-factor interaction effects of laser power-welding speed, welding speed-fiber diameter, and fiber diameter-laser power on all the responses except the weld width. Moreover, energy density plots illustrated its linear relationship with penetration depth and limited nonlinear effects on others. Additionally, metallurgical analysis of fusion zone showed dendritic structures consisted of martensitic with eutectic ferrite along solidification grain and subgrain boundaries.

Effects of pulse reverse electroforming parameters on the thickness uniformity of electroformed copper foil

The non-uniformity of electroformed layers directly affects the mechanical properties and application requirements of micro devices. Therefore, uniformity of electroformed copper foil is significant in ensuring or improving the mechanical properties of micro devices. The influences of duty cycle, current density, power source, and electroforming time on the thickness uniformity of electroformed copper layers were studied, and these parameters were optimised by using the orthogonal experiment method. The thickness distribution rule of electroformed copper foil was also determined. Duty cycle had the largest influence on the uniformity; the uniformity of electroformed layers prepared with pulse reverse current power source was superior to those prepared with direct current power source and pulse current power source. Increasing current density enhanced uniformity. The optimal technical process suggested by this orthogonal experiment adopts pulse reverse current power, 30% of positive duty cycle, 10% of negative duty cycle, 2?A?dm^?2 of current density, and 92?minutes of electroforming time. The minimum coefficient of variation reached 1.54%. The thickness of electroformed copper foil varied directionally.

Microstructural and mechanical characteristics of laser welding of Ti6Al4V and lead metal

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V and lead metal were welded using a continuous wave Nd:YAG laser. The influences of laser power, scanning velocity, and laser beam offset on weld morphology were investigated. Microstructure, chemical composition and mechanical properties of the joints were evaluated. Experimental results showed that fusion weld formed at the upper part of the weld and brazing weld with solder of Pb formed at the lower part of the weld under appropriate process condition. Interfaces were formed between mixed fusion zone and liquid lead zone in molten pool during laser welding of Ti6Al4V and lead. Reasons for interface formation may be different driving force of various regions in molten pool, and the miscibility gap of Ti and Pb binary system. Ti-Pb intermetallic compound Ti₄Pb was detected at the fusion weld zone, which made the microhardness of the weld seam was higher than that of the base materials. The strength of the joint was at least equal to or larger than that of lead base material.     

Application of direct laser melting to restore damaged steel dies

Direct laser melting (DLM) technology can be applied to restore damaged steel dies. To understand the effects of DLM process parameters such as the laser power and scan rate, a series of experiments was conducted to determine the optimal operating parameters. To investigate the laser melting characteristics, the depth/height ratio, depth/width ratio and micro-hardness as a function of the laser energy density were analyzed. Fe-Cr and Fe-Ni layers were deposited on a steel die with 11.38 J/mm² of energy input. The wear-resistance and the friction coefficient of the deposited layer were investigated by a pin-on-disk test. The penetration depth decreased as the scan rate increased as a consequence of the shorter interaction time. The depth/height ratio of the deposited layer decreased with an increase in the scan rate. The depth/width ratio increased as laser power increased and the scan rate decreased. The deposition shape of the Fe-Ni powder was relatively shallow and wide compared with that of the Fe-Cr powder. The scan rate had a substantial effect upon the deposition height, with the Fe-Cr powder melting more than the Fe-Ni powder. The micro-hardness of the layer melted from the powders is higher than that of the substrate, and the hardness of the laser-surface-melted layer without any metal powder is higher compared to that of the metal-powder-melted layer. The direct laser melting process with Fe-Ni powder represents a superior method when restoring a steel die when the bead shape and hardness of the restored surface are important outcome considerations.

Laser beam welding of dissimilar stainless steels in a fillet joint configuration

This paper investigates laser beam welding of dissimilar AISI 304L and AISI 430 stainless steels. Experimental studies were focused on effects of laser power, welding speed, defocus distance, beam incident angle, and line energy on weld bead geometry and shearing force. Metallurgical analysis was conducted on a selected weld only to show various microstructures typically formed at different zones and consequent change in microhardness. Laser power and welding speed were the most significant factors affecting weld geometry and shearing force. All the bead characteristics but radial penetration depth decreased with increased beam incident angle. The focused beam allowed selecting lower laser power and faster welding speed to obtain the same weld geometry. Weld shape factor increased rapidly due to keyhole formation for line energy input ranging from 15 kJ/m to 17 kJ/m. Fusion zone microstructures contained a variety of complex austenite-ferrite structures. Local microhardness of fusion zone was greater than that of both base metals.

New Approach of True Temperature Restoration in Optical Diagnostics Using IR-Camera

The laser treatment processes are specified due to the laser-matter interaction instabilities. Modern additive manufacturing technologies such as selective laser melting provide layer-by-layer part growth with continuous operation for hours and days but without adequate controlling systems at present. In this paper, a method for determining a temperature in the laser action zone during the process based on a study of microscopic structure, phase and element analyses of the processed material is proposed. A fixed point corresponding to melting temperature was acquired, and the corresponding emissivity coefficient was calculated with the assumption of its wavelength and temperature independence. The experimental data were corroborated with good agreement with mathematical calculations. The obtained results reveal an impact of scanning speed and of laser emission power on temperature in molten zone, which presents interest for optimization of laser-processing technologies and more specifically selective laser melting process parameters.     

The influence of combined laser parameters on in-situ formed TiC morphology during laser cladding

In this paper, the effect of laser cladding process parameters on TiC morphology is studied. Results show that laser parameters play a crucial role in morphology of TiC. Dendritic or spherical TiC particles with different distribution are observed depending on applied laser parameters. Two combined parameters, effective energy and powder deposition density, are used in order to study the effect of laser process parameters on TiC morphology.A series of experiments are conducted in constant laser power and scan speed, constant effective energy and constant powder deposition density in order to study the TiC morphologies. Results show that both combined parameters and laser parameters should be considered in order to interpret the results. Laser parameters have crucial role in establishing the TiC morphologies by means of temperature and chemical composition.Hardness results of the clad zone depend on morphologies and distributions of TiC particles in the clad.

Simulation of nitrogen transport and desorption in laser welds of 21Cr–6Ni–9Mn stainless steel

Loss of nitrogen is a concern when welding nitrogen strengthened stainless steel alloys. Building on the current understanding of the underlying mechanisms, a three-dimensional simulation of conduction mode laser weld pool development using the volume of fluid technique was developed. Weld pools formed by a moving Gaussian heat input for two different laser power densities were simulated and the transport and surface desorption of nitrogen was tracked using nitrogen macroparticles. The penetration depth and width of the weld pool predicted by the simulation was comparable to the data derived from macrographs of welds made on nitronic 40 alloy. Additionally, the 25–32% predicted decrease in nitrogen composition of the weld fusion zone by the new rate law is comparable to the literature.

Experimental design of plasma spraying and laser treatment of hydroxyapatite coatings

Plasma spray process of hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, HA) followed by laser treatment of obtained coatings were optimized by an advanced statistical planning of experiments. The full factorial design of 2⁴ experiments was used to find effects of four principal parameters, i.e. electric power, plasma forming gas composition, carrier gas flow rate and laser power density onto microstructure of hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings and powders and depth of laser melted zone. The SAS and Statgraphics commercial softwares have been applied to obtain the mathematical model of influence of process parameters onto experimental responses. The chosen responses were the fraction of HA crystal phase and two phases of its decomposition α-tricalcium phosphate (Ca₃(PO₄)₂, α-TCP), tetracalcium phosphate (Ca₄P₂O₉, TTCP) and, on the other hand, the depth of laser melted zone in the coating. The two most important factors influencing these responses are electric power supplied to torch, laser power density. Laser power density is very important for the depth of laser melted zone. The crystal phase content of powders and coatings was determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) quantitative analysis. The morphologies of coatings surfaces, cross-sections were characterized using scanning electron microscope (SEM).
