Abstract
The passivation film on the surface of electrochemically machined titanium alloy has a significant and critical influence on the subsequent processing efficiency and surface quality. In this paper, the effect and mechanism of laser on the passivation film of electrochemically machined Ti-6.5Al-2Zr-1Mo-1V (TA15) alloy were investigated, and comprehensively evaluated the removal effect passivation film by studying the laser energy threshold, single pulse ablation and solidification, plasma behavior and the effect of laser on the substrate surface. And the removal of the passivation film was further verified through comparative experiments of counter rotating electrochemical machining (CRECM). The results showed the passivation film of the titanium alloy after electrolysis can be removed by laser, with a surface oxygen content of 1.08 %. And the laser energy can eliminate the segregation of α and β phases on the surface caused by electrochemical machining (ECM) titanium alloy through the synergistic effect of thermal ablation and force impact. Compared with the surface roughness of TA15 titanium alloy processed by CRECM without laser removal of the passivation film (Ra=102.02 μm), the surface quality of the processed titanium alloy after laser removal of the passivation layer was significantly improved, and the Ra value reaches 2.494 μm.
