Abstract
This study evaluates the effects of laser parameters on the surface remelting of the Ti-3Al-2.5V alloy. A ms-laser equipped with a coaxial gas-pressure head integrated into a Swiss-type turning machine is used for the laser remelting process of cylindrical parts. The influence of different pulse frequencies, as well as varying intensities, is investigated. The results reveal that surface micro-cracks can be eliminated through laser remelting. Increasing the input laser intensity also increases the size of the melting pool. A similar effect is observed with higher pulse frequencies. The metallurgical microstructure and the size of the heat-affected zone of the remelted surface at different input laser energy levels are also examined. The results indicate that input laser energy influences phase transformation in the metallurgical microstructure, which correspondingly results in variations in micro-hardness within the heat-affected zone. The variations in laser fluence lead to a surface hardness improvement of approximately 15%.
期刊介绍:
Micromachines (ISSN 2072-666X) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal which provides an advanced forum for studies related to micro-scaled machines and micromachinery. It publishes reviews, regular research papers and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
