Investigation of cut quality in fiber laser cutting of CFRP
摘要： Fiber laser cutting of CFRP sheets was investigated using a 2 kW multi-mode fiber laser, focusing on how the cut quality factors, such as kerf width, kerf depth, matrix evaporation width, matrix recession width, kerf taper angle, matrix damage zone, and cut surface morphology, change as laser power, laser scanning speed, and the number of laser passes are varied. By designing a systematic experiment on a large process window, several important parameters for kerf width, kerf depth, matrix evaporation width, and matrix recession width were identified, and using them, it was verified that the beam scanning speed is a dominant factor for minimizing thermal damages. Also, circular rings were observed in each carbon fiber at the cut surfaces, and it looked as if they were generated when each fiber was thermally fused in the radial direction. A larger number of laser passes was found to contribute to a smooth surface morphology, because of the formation of highly-fused surfaces, which prevents fiber delamination and pull-outs. Optimum process conditions were also identified by comparing various cut quality factors.

Laser cooling arc plasma effect in laser-arc hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel
摘要： Current laser-plasma interaction theory supports that the plasma energy e.g. electron temperature would increase by the effect of inverse bremsstrahlung (IB) absorption, when a laser beam passed through the plasma. However, in this paper, we found an interesting laser cooling arc plasma effect (LCAPE) during kilo-Watt fiber laser-TIG hybrid welding. Based on theoretical modelling and experiments, we observed that a temperature decrease of more than 5000 K at the tail of the argon plasma occurred under different process parameters during hybrid welding of 316L stainless steel. We proposed the LCAPE is caused by the laser-induced metal vapor. The mechanism mainly includes the convection cooling and enhanced radiation of the arc plasma by the metal vapor. Our findings could broaden the theory of laser-plasma interaction and provide a theoretical reference to the modulation and control of plasma in industries.

Dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in high power fiber laser welding of stainless steel
摘要： A three-dimensional numerical model, considering the real-time multiple reflections of a laser beam, adiabatic bubble model and shear stress, was developed to study the dynamic keyhole behavior and keyhole instability in fiber laser welding of stainless steel. The inner dynamic keyhole behavior and weld defect formation were directly observed in a high resolution assisted by transparent glass. The numerical and experimental results showed that the keyhole width reached the quasi-steady state earlier than the keyhole depth did during fiber laser welding of stainless steel. Due to the large recoil pressure at rear keyhole wall caused by the irradiation of laser energy reflected by the bulge at the front keyhole wall, the rear keyhole wall was severely deformed at keyhole bottom and keyhole middle. The rear keyhole wall was collapsed due to the high surface tension pressure and hydrostatic pressure. The whole keyhole collapse was attributable to the capillary instability of the keyhole associated with large depth/width ratio and the strong flow of the bulges at the keyhole wall. When the laser power was increased, the keyhole depth/width ratio was increased, so the keyhole was more capillary instable. The average inclined angle of the front keyhole wall was decreased.

Effect of Heat Input on Porosity Defects in a Fiber Laser Welded Socket-Joint Made of Powder Metallurgy Molybdenum Alloy
摘要： Porosity defects are still a challenging issue in the fusion welding of molybdenum and its alloys due to the pre-existing interior defects associated with the powder metallurgy process. Fiber laser welding of end plug and cladding tube made of nanostructured high-strength molybdenum (NS-Mo) alloy was performed in this work with an emphasis on the role of welding heat input. The distribution and morphology of porosity defects in the welded joints were examined by computed tomography (CT) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Preliminary results showed that laser welding of NS-Mo under low heat input significantly reduced the porosity defects in the fusion zone. The results of computed tomography (CT) showed that when the welding heat input decreased from 3600 J/cm (i.e., 1200 W, 0.2 m/min) to 250 J/cm (i.e., 2500 W, 6 m/min), the porosity ratio of the NS-Mo joints declined from 10.7% to 2.1%. Notable porosity defects under high heat input were related to the instability of the keyhole, expansion and the merging of bubbles in the molten pool, among which the instability of the keyhole played the dominant role. The porous defects at low heat input were generated as bubbles released from the powder metallurgy base metal (BM) did not have enough time to overflow and escape.

Influence of laser parameters on tensile shear strength of copper welds
摘要： The electrification of the power train in the automotive industry leads to the requirement of electrical connectors with high ampacities. These connectors are often realized using ultrasonic bonding technology. Substitution of ultrasonic welding by laser welding allows an increase of ribbon cross section by a factor of 5 and thus a similar increase of the maximum transferred current. The increased cross section leads to higher loads (at least by a factor of 5) applied to the weld seam during the process. To minimize the heat input, the weld seam strength in shear direction shall be maximized. The influence of different laser parameters on the ultimate tensile shear stress in lap joint configuration is investigated, based on representative specimen geometries (10 × 0.3 mm2). The variable parameters are: laser wavelength (IR around 1050 nm + frequency doubled 515 nm), focal diameters (42–300 μm), different temper conditions of the base material, process parameters (laser power 0.6–4 kW and feed rate 50–800 mm/s), and welding strategies (single pass welding, spatial beam modulation). The material used is Cu-ETP (>99.9% Cu). For all the investigated parameters, the observed failure mode is “fracture in the fusion zone.” The ultimate tensile shear stress for all experiments is around 188 N/mm2 even for parameter changes in the order of one magnitude. This is in contrast to the assumed relation between laser parameters and the mechanical properties. This contrast will be discussed.

Influence of Al-Si coating on microstructure and mechanical properties of fiber laser welded 22MnB5 steel
摘要： Fiber laser welding of as-received 22MnB5 steel with Al-10wt.%Si coating in butt configuration was performed. The influence of Al-Si coating on microstructure transformation and mechanical properties including tensile tests, fatigue tests and Erichsen cupping tests was investigated. Ferrite with Al enrichment (1.37 wt%) was found in the fusion zone (FZ) of coated welded joints with 15% area proportion, while nearly entire martensite structure composed the FZ in the case of de-coated joint. The strain localization was more likely to accumulate at the martensite/martensite interface rather than the ferrite/martensite interface due to the higher kernel average misorientation (KAM) values. Microhardness of the FZ in coated welded joints dropped by 50HV compared with that of de-coated welded joints. However, tensile properties were not affected since failure occurred at base metal (BM). Fatigue samples of coated welded joints showed better performance than the de-coated ones, suggesting that the ferrite in the FZ had positive effect on fatigue lives under cycling load conditions. The Erichsen cupping tests showed similar Erichsen values (5.60 mm and 5.67 mm) for de-coated and coated welded joints. An opposite effect of ferrite on Erichsen cupping tests was obtained. The peak force required for deformation dropped by 35% with Al-10wt.%Si coating.

Ultrafast soliton and stretched-pulse switchable mode-locked fiber laser with hybrid structure of multimode fiber based saturable absorber
摘要： We demonstrate an all-fiber mode locked laser based on hybrid structure of multimode fiber saturable absorber (SA) that can realize both conventional soliton and stretched-pulse states. Stable 16.44 MHz conventional soliton pulses are achieved by injecting 80 mW threshold pump power. By increasing the incident pump power to 420 mW, the laser evolves from soliton operation into stretched-pulse mode locking state. 310 fs stretched-pulse are obtained with the same repetition rate as the soliton pulses. The center wavelength and its 3 dB spectrum bandwidth are 1603 nm and 14.2 nm, respectively. For the first time, we experimentally confirm transition between conventional soliton and stretched-pulse in 1.5 μm mode-locked fiber laser by introducing multimode optical fiber SA. Moreover, the maximum single pulse energy of nearly 1 nJ is achieved. Such all-fiber mode-locked lasers based on hybrid structure of multimode fiber are attractive for practical applications without damage and the limitation of life time.

摘要： Here, an efficient dissipative soliton mode-locked fiber laser in the L-band using nonlinear polarization rotation technology is demonstrated. With a maximum pump power of 495.3 mW and polarization state optimization, the fiber laser delivers a maximum output power of 68.6 mW with an 11.16 MHz repetition rate and a corresponding single pulse energy of 6.15 nJ. The dissipative soliton spectrum is centered at 1599.6 nm with a 3 dB bandwidth of 47.8 nm. The full width at half maximum of the compressed pulse is 156 fs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest single pulse energy reported so far for an L-band passively mode-locked all-fiber laser.

Switchable multi-wavelength and tunable wavelength spacing erbium-doped fiber laser based on a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating combined with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer
摘要： A switchable multi-wavelength fiber laser with tunable wavelength spacing is proposed. It is based on a structure filter composed of a phase-shifted fiber Bragg grating (PSFBG) and a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI), and the MZI is fabricated by splicing a section of polarization-maintaining fiber with two segments of multi-mode fibers. By adjusting the variable optical attenuator in the cavity and slightly changing the temperature, stable single-, dual-, triple- and quadruple-wavelength emissions can be obtained. The minimum wavelength spacing of adjacent peaks is 0.176 nm, and the maximum is 17.86 nm. The laser line emissions can be switched from 1527.684 nm to 1550.224 nm with optical signal to noise ratio of more than 50 dB. The maximum wavelength fluctuation of the fiber laser is less than 0.025 nm over 50 min. When the strain applied to the filter is changed, the tunable wavelength spacing can be achieved. The wavelength spacing of dual-wavelength laser can be continuously tuned from 21.82 nm to 22.69 nm by applying strain of 0–258 με to the filter.
