Laser welding of AZ31B magnesium alloy with beam oscillation
摘要： Circular beam oscillation was introduced to laser welding of 2 mm-thick AZ31 magnesium alloy. The appearance, microstructure and tensile properties of the welds were investigated. It was found that the low frequency about 50 Hz and the small radius about 0.5 mm are more beneficial to improve the weld appearance, under the given parameters of laser power 2 kW, welding speed 2 m/min and beam oscillating diameter 0.35 mm. The undercut defect and even the totally collapse of the weld appear when employing the frequency higher than 75 Hz or the radius larger than 1.5 mm. The microstructure evolution mainly reflects in the variation of the proportions of the equiaxed zone (PEZ) and the average grain size (SG). The PEZ decreases from 85% to 42% with the beam oscillating frequency increasing from 25 Hz to 100 Hz, while the SG reaches the maximum of 37.5 μm at 75 Hz. The PEZ decreases and the SG increases with the increase of beam oscillating radius. The results showed that the tensile strength and elongation are closely related to the PEZ, the SG and the twins. According to the experimental results, the relationship of oscillating parameters, microstructure, and tensile properties was established.

Autogenous fiber laser welding of 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy plates
摘要： Cupronickel alloys such as 70/30 Cu-Ni have excellent resistance to sea water corrosion and anti-fouling properties, and thus have been widely used for naval and offshore applications. Traditionally, arc welding and brazing processes have been used to weld such materials. In contrast, laser beam welding is a promising technology due to its high productivity, good process flexibility and reliability, and good welding integrity. In the present work, a high power fiber laser system is used to weld 5-mm thick 70/30 Cu-Ni alloy plates in a configuration of butt joints. Then, the laser welded joints are evaluated in terms of microstructures, defects, and mechanical properties (hardness, face and root bend, and tensile) in accordance with the applicable International Organization for Standardization and Defence Standard specifications.

Microstructures and Mechanical Properties of Dissimilar Al/Steel Butt Joints Produced by Autogenous Laser Keyhole Welding
摘要： Dissimilar Al/steel butt joints of 6.0 mm thick plates have been achieved using fiber laser keyhole welding autogenously. The cross sections, interface microstructures, hardness and tensile properties of Al/steel butt joints obtained under different travel speeds and laser beam offsets were investigated. The phase morphology and thickness of the intermetallic compound (IMC) layers at the interface were analyzed by scanning electronic microscopes (SEM) using the energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) and electron back-scattered diffraction (EBSD) techniques. The results show that travel speeds and laser beam offsets are of considerable importance for the weld shape, morphology and thickness of IMC layers, and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) of Al/steel butt joints. This proves that the IMC layers consist of Fe2Al5 phases and Fe4Al13 phases by EBSD phase mapping. Increasing laser beam offsets from 0.3 mm to 0.7 mm significantly decreases the quantity of Fe4Al13 phases and the thickness of Fe2Al5 layers at the interface. During tensile processing, the Fe2Al5 layer with the weakest bonding strength is the most brittle region at the interface. However, an intergranular fracture that occurred at Fe2Al5 layers leads to a relatively high UTS of Al/steel butt joints.

Densification behavior, microstructure evolution, and tensile properties of selective laser melting additive manufactured TiB <sub/>2</sub> /AlSi10Mg composite
摘要： The fabrication of TiB2/AlSi10Mg composites by selective laser melting (SLM) additive manufacturing has been conducted. The influence of laser processing parameters on the densification behavior, microstructure evolution, and tensile properties of the SLM-processed composites is addressed. With the increase in laser volume energy density, the densification rate increased and reached 99% at a laser speed of 1000 mm/s. Meanwhile, the TiB2 particles underwent a partial melting behavior with the formation of an irregular pattern in the solidified part and complete melting with the smooth surface of the reinforcing particles as the laser volume energy increased. The cellular-dendritic microstructure and the width of the eutectic phase of the as-fabricated composites were significantly refined due to the high cooling rate and complete melting of the reinforcing particles as the nucleation sites using the laser energy density of 117 J/mm3. Therefore, the micro-hardness, ultimate tensile strength, yielding strength, and elongation of the as-fabricated TiB2/AlSi10Mg composites obtained in this process condition were 131.3 HV0.2, 375 MPa, 260 MPa, and 3.1%, respectively, which were significantly higher than those of the unreinforced AlSi10Mg alloy.

Increasing the productivity of Laser Powder Bed Fusion: influence of the hull-bulk strategy on part quality, microstructure and mechanical performance of Ti-6Al-4V
摘要： To increase the productivity of Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), a hull-bulk strategy can be implemented. This approach consists in using a high layer thickness in the core of the part, hence reducing the build time, and a low layer thickness in the skin, to maintain a high accuracy and good surface finish. The present study investigated to what extent this strategy affected the surface roughness, relative density, microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V parts. Ti-6Al-4V specimens were built using two distinct sets of process parameters, one optimized for a 90 μm-layer thickness in the bulk and the other for a 30 μm-layer thickness in the hull. In addition to surface roughness and relative density measurements, a thorough microstructure analysis was done using both optical microscopy and SEM. Additionally, EBSD measurements and numerical reconstruction of the parent β grains were performed to evaluate the mesostructure and texture evolution from hull to bulk. Microhardness measurements and tensile tests were done to assess the effect of the hull-bulk strategy on the mechanical properties. This analysis was completed on both as-built and stress-relieved specimens. The present study demonstrated the possibility of using the hull-bulk strategy to build high-quality Ti-6Al-4V parts, without impacting their tensile properties, hence increasing the productivity of the process by a geometry-dependent factor, typically ranging between 25% and 100%.

Laser-arc hybrid additive manufacturing of stainless steel with beam oscillation
摘要： A novel additive manufacturing approach integrating an oscillating laser beam and a cold metal transfer arc was developed to balance the surface accuracy, deposition efficiency, and mechanical properties of the deposited parts. The new method was termed as oscillating laser-arc hybrid additive manufacturing (O-LHAM). The sample properties of the wire-arc additive manufacturing (WAAM), laser-arc hybrid additive manufacturing (LHAM), and O-LHAM processes were compared. It was found that some new phenomena were induced by beam oscillation. First, both the surface roughness and minimum processing margin of the O-LHAM sample were reduced to 20% of the WAAM sample, because the droplet transfer was stabilized by the laser-arc synergic effects. Second, the grains were refined, and the {001} <100>-cube texture content was decreased to 1.6%, as the oscillation induced a strong stirring effect on the molten pool. The nondestructive X-ray test suggested that the visible porosity within the O-LHAM sample was suppressed by beam oscillation when the periodically oscillated laser keyhole could “capture” the bubbles, while the porosity within the LHAM sample reached 24%. Due to the microstructure changes and the porosity suppression, the O-LHAM almost eliminated the anisotropy of tensile strength and improved the elongation by up to 34%.

Laser energy density dependence of performance in additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing of 316L stainless steel
摘要： An enormous amount of research effort goes into the manufacturing process for additive manufacturing (AM) or subtractive manufacturing (SM) process for property microstructure. Moreover, additive/subtractive hybrid manufacturing (ASHM), which combines additive and subtractive processes in a single machine, has provided an important opportunity to increase the high percentage of stock utilization and produce complex functional components. However, the system comprehensive investigation and the study of ASHM-manufactured parts by various process parameters have rarely been reported. The present paper depicted the effect of laser energy density (ψ) on the phase change, density, microstructure, Vickers hardness, and tensile testing within the ASHM specimens. It was observed that the highest Vickers microhardness, the largest tensile strength, and the attendant ductility were gained at ψ =222 J/mm3, the most excellent value, which was put down to the high density and relatively fine grains. The results of this study have a better knowledge of the ASHM method to produce a high surface state and mechanical behavior 316L SS component by governing laser energy density (ψ).

A Study of Laser Beam Welding, Gas Tungsten Arc Welding and High Temperature Brazing Processes on Micro hardness and Tensile Strength of AISI Type 316 Stainless Steel
摘要： Thin wall joints for elevated temperature (~550 °C) applications can be prepared by Laser Beam Welding (LBW), Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) and High Temperature Brazing (HTB) methods. The joints have been made and tests such as helium leak test (HLT), micro hardness test and tensile test were carried out. A study has been performed on these joining techniques to recognize the suitable method for high temperature applications. No observable leak was identified during HLT. Microstructures shows dissimilarity in solidification morphology due to disparity in heat sources. It has been identified that the joint made by brazing process having higher micro hardness value. Further, it has been observed that LBW joints have better mechanical properties than GTAW joints and HTB joints.

Effect of Laser Beam Oscillation on Laser Welding–Brazing of Ti/Al Dissimilar Metals
摘要： Ti4Al6V and 6061 Al dissimilar metals were butt welded by the laser oscillating welding method. The e?ects of laser o?set, oscillation frequency, and energy distribution on the formation, microstructure, and tensile properties of dissimilar metal joints are discussed in detail. The experimental results show that the Ti6Al4V was micro melted with a laser o?set of 1.1 mm, and a large number of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) were formed on the side of the Ti6Al4V. Additionally, there were some porosity defects in the fusion zone (FZ) due to an inappropriate laser oscillation frequency. When the laser o?set was increased to 1.2 mm, the IMC distribution was uniform and the thickness was controlled below 2 μm. The porosity defects in the FZ decreased and the tensile strength of the joints increased signi?cantly. The maximum value of tensile strength reached 173 MPa at a laser frequency of 28 Hz.
