Femtosecond Laser-Induced Evolution of Surface Micro-Structure in Depth Direction of Nickel-Based Alloy

The surface coating properties of turbine blades are highly dependent on the material’s surface roughness, and the femtosecond laser-induced micro-structure can provide a wide range of roughness with periodicity. However, precise control of femtosecond laser-induced micro-structure is difficult. In...

Description
Summary:The surface coating properties of turbine blades are highly dependent on the material’s surface roughness, and the femtosecond laser-induced micro-structure can provide a wide range of roughness with periodicity. However, precise control of femtosecond laser-induced micro-structure is difficult. In this paper, we extend the application of the two-temperature model and combine it with experiments to accurately reveal the evolution law of micro-structure depth at different single pulse energies, as well as the influence of two processing parameters on micro-structure, namely, defocusing amount and scanning speed. The findings of this study provide reliable theoretical guidance for fast and accurate control of material surface roughness and open new possibilities for coating properties.
