When processing SiC/SiC composites using nanosecond-pulsed lasers, thermal effects such as molten deposition and heat-affected zones (HAZs) will occur. In this study, an annulus-conical water jet (ACWJ) was introduced to assist nanosecond laser machining of SiC/SiC composites, aiming to suppress thermal damage. A comparative investigation between laser processing in air and under ACWJ assistance was conducted. The results demonstrated that ACWJ assistance effectively eliminated molten material deposition and HAZs, significantly improving surface quality. However, despite a short beam path in the water (approximately 2.5-3 mm), turbulence in the water stream during ACWJ processing caused beam divergence and focus drift, leading to a substantial reduction in laser energy density on the target surface, and thus a lower material removal efficiency compared to laser machining in air. Moreover, the beam focal position drifted within the turbulent water stream, resulting in broader and shallower machined features. The material removal rate during ACWJ-assisted laser processing was only approximately 3%-10% of that achieved in air. In groove ablation, achieving the same depth as that in air-based processing required a significantly larger number of scan passes under ACWJ conditions. In hole machining, the resulting hole diameters were approximately 240% greater than those achieved in air.
Flexible heating elements consisting of metal circuits and resin layers are widely used in semiconductor, medical, and food service equipment. Laser fabrication of the metal circuit on the resin layer is more efficient and environmentally friendly than traditional chemical etching processes. This study assessed thermal damage on a polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer while ablating a stainless steel 304 (SS304) circuit on SS304/PET composite films using a nanosecond pulsed laser. The effects of the laser power, scan speed, and scan pass on the damaged width and depth of the PET film were explored. The results showed that the pulsed laser radiation on the upper SS304 foil has a low risk of causing thermal damage to the PET film. The PET thermal damage occurred mainly owing to direct laser radiation after the upper SS304 material was removed. The damage depth developed significantly faster than did the damage width, as the tapered SS304 cutting slit obstructed the periphery of the laser beam. In addition, adding a 35 μm-thick polyethylene vinyl acetated adhesion layer between the SS304 and PET can reduce approximately 80% of the damaged depth. This research provides a reference for the laser cutting of metal circuits/resin films for heating elements.
Inclined holes on superalloys have important functions in aeroengines. These inclined holes need to be polished to improve surface quality before service. This study investigates the effects of time-division bidirectional flow of abrasive water on the polishing results of inclined holes on superalloys. It reveals that there is a significant imbalance in abrasive dynamic pressure and density distribution between the obtuse and acute edges inside the inclined hole during single-directional abrasive water flow polishing (AWFP). This imbalance normally leads to a non-uniform material removal on the hole wall and consequently results in a roughness variation of 50–60
This study investigates the influence of different heat treatment processes on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cold spraying coatings deposited on TIG joints of 2219 Al alloy. The results indicate that there were no significant changes in the microstructure of the joint before and after cold spraying. However, there was noticeable plastic deformation at the interface between the joint and the coating. The porosity rates of coatings subjected to room temperature, direct aging, and solution aging are 1.94
Inclined hole arrays on superalloys have important applications in aeroengines. However, defects occur during fabrication of inclined holes using thermal drilling methods, i.e. electrical discharge drilling (EDD), including a recast layer and microcracks on the hole wall. Therefore, abrasive water flow polishing (AWFP) of a superalloy inclined hole array machined via EDD was investigated in this study. Two types of specimens were designed: a hole array of identical size and a hole array with an identical inclination angle. The fluid simulation revealed that the fluid velocity and pressure on the lower edge of the inclined hole were significantly higher than those on the upper edge when the fluid flowed forward. The fluid characteristics exhibited opposite trends when backward flow was implemented. Time-division bidirectional flow can effectively compensate for flow field nonuniformity and improve material removal consistency during polishing. The experimental results show that for inclined holes with identical inclination angles, the size expansion decreases with an increase in the hole diameter owing to the lower fluid velocity and material removal volume in the relatively larger holes. Consequently, surface roughness Ra increases with hole size. For inclined holes with identical diameters, the size expansions of the entrance and exit approach the same level; whereas, Ra decreased with an increase in the inclination angle. The hole taper slightly reduced in all cases. Using garnet abrasives with 1300 mesh size, 1.5 wt.% abrasive concentration, and 3 MPa fluid pressure, the surface roughness Ra of target holes was reduced from pre-polishing [Formula: see text] 5.0 [Formula: see text]m to approximately post-polishing 1.0 [Formula: see text]m. The recast layer on the hole wall caused by EDD was completely removed.
Micro-inclined holes in nickel-based alloys have important functions in hot-section components of aero-engine. Hole-wall surface defects occur during electrical discharge drilling (EDD) or laser drilling (LD) of these inclined holes. Abrasive water flow polishing (AWFP) is a promising method for finishing inclined holes after EDD or LD processes. However, the abrasives tend to gather at the obtuse edge of the inclined hole during regular AWFP and cause remarkably nonuniform finishing. Fluid field vibration-assisted AWFP has been studied to solve this problem. A comparison between the absence and presence of low-frequency flow field vibrations in AWFP of inclined holes was made. Subsequently, the effects of vibration amplitude and frequency on the polishing results were investigated. The results show that the radial vibration of the fluid field can significantly improve the abrasive dispersion inside the inclined hole and, consequently, enhance the kinetic energy and collision frequency of the abrasives impinging the hole wall. This results in a better material removal uniformity. With the fluid field vibration, the hole-wall finishing nonuniformity inside the target hole can be decreased by 78
The inclined cooling holes on turbine blades needs to be polished to remove thermal barrier coating (TBC) blockage before service. So far, no effective methods have been developed to remove this blockage except manual polishing with grinding needles. In this study, polishing of inclined small holes with TBC blockage on GH4169 superalloys was investigated using a low-pressure abrasive water jet with an optimized nozzle. The results show that the abrasive distribution inside the jet resulting from the five types of commonly used nozzles presented Gaussian-like distribution. The nozzle with 14° convergence angle and 1.5 mm straight section was selected for the subsequent polishing experiment for the consideration of the abrasives divergence and boundary. The hole entrance was shaped as a cone after polishing, and the entrance diameter increased with processing time, standoff distance (SOD) and abrasive concentration. The hole-blocked material at the entrance was cleaned rapidly, while those at the trailing edge was removed slowly because of the greater length of blockage. Increasing the abrasive concentration achieved higher blockage removal rate than increasing the SOD. For the 30° inclined holes with a 200 μm thick TBC, approximate 60

Superalloy microholes resulting from electrical discharge drilling (EDD) can have recast layers and microcracks on the machined surfaces. In this study, the abrasive water flow polishing (AWFP) of superalloy microholes machined by EDD was investigated. The recast layer and surface roughness resulting from the EDD process were evaluated through orthogonal experiments. The machining mechanism of AWFP was analyzed. The effects of AWFP parameters were investigated experimentally. The results show that the material removal rate and surface roughness at the hole exit were better than those at the entrance for one-directional fluid flow during the process. Garnet abrasives achieved better polished roughness and a lower material removal rate than alumina abrasives. The taper angle of the target holes changed slightly from positive to negative after AWFP. The corner edge was slightly rounded on the fluid inlet side. Using a bidirectional fluid resulted in better dimensional uniformity and surface roughness at the entrance and exit. This study verified that AWFP can remove the recast layer and microcracks on the hole wall caused by EDD and reduce the surface roughness from an initial Ra of 5.7 & mu;m to an Ra of 0.6 & mu;m.

Ceramic materials will get deposited inside pre-drilled cooling holes and partially or completely block during thermal barrier coating (TBC). In this study, the hole blockage produced by atmosphere plasma spraying (APS) was investigated using industrial computed tomography. The results show that the geometric features of the blockage owing to APS coating are significantly affected by the inclination angle of the pre-drilled holes. The coating deposition in the vertical holes is rotationally symmetric and mainly concentrates at the entrance. For the inclined holes, the deposition on the trailing edge is much more than that on the leading edge. The deposition height and length on the trailing edge increase with the inclination angle; however, they are little disturbed by the hole size. Therefore, the blockage ratio decreases with the increase of the hole size. In addition, greater TBC thickness causes larger deposition height and length and subsequently results in a larger blockage ratio.

The micro- and small-sized cooling holes of turbine blades must be polished to remove the thermal barrier coating (TBC) blockage before service. To date, no effective methods have been developed to remove this blockage, except for manual polishing using grinding needles. In this study, the removal of hole blockages from a superalloy material is investigated using a low-pressure abrasive water jet (AWJ) process for the first time. Based on an analysis of the processing mechanism, the kinetic energy threshold for a particle-to-crack TBC is approximate 3.55 nJ. Garnet particles with size of 10 μm and speed of ≥ 60 m/s can theoretically damage the TBC material. For vertical holes, the hole-blocked material near the entrance can be eroded rapidly. For inclined holes, the hole-blocked material at the trailing edge has a much greater volume and length and requires a longer time to remove. Using relatively larger jet size increases the material removal rate of the blockage, however, resulting in a broader hole entrance. When applying a relatively larger standoff distance, the capability of the AWJ in removing the blockage was enhanced owing to the more dispersed distribution of abrasives in the jet. The blockage ratio can be reduced from 60

飞秒激光有着极窄的脉宽、极高的峰值能量,因此具有加工范围广、加工质量好等优势.利用飞秒激光对CFRP复合材料进行小孔加工试验,研究了光斑局部填充和全填充两种方式对 φ3 mm小孔加工的影响.通过光学显微镜、工业CT等检测手段对试件的小孔加工进行检测,分析小孔进出口形貌以及内壁锥度,对比讨论了不同填充方式对材料去除的影响.试验结果表明,全填充的排屑条件好于局部填充,因此更容易加工出通孔;局部填充易导致光束向底部反射以及热量聚集所致的材料去除,因此加工出的通孔锥度较小.扫描速度越小,孔的锥度越小,反之扫描速度越大,孔的锥度越大.填充间距影响着激光的输入能量密度,因此填充间距对小孔加工的深度有直接影响,对小孔入口直径以及小孔锥度的影响较小.
