[Laser Institute of America ICALEO? 2016: 35th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - San Diego, California, USA (October 16–20, 2016)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Fibre laser trepanning drilling of metals and alloys
摘要: Laser drilling of metals and alloys is extensively used in modern manufacturing industries to produce holes of various sizes and shapes. Currently, most aerospace laser drilling is performed using Nd:YAG laser and over the years many attempts have been made to increase the productivity of Nd:YAG lasers drilling process, but with little success. This paper investigates the use of recently developed millisecond-pulsed-Quasi-CW-fibre-laser for trepanning drilling of aerospace grade nickel super-alloy. The main investigation concentrates on understanding the effects of Quasi-CW-fibre-laser parameters on trepanning laser drilled hole quality. The principal findings are based on reducing the recast and oxide layer. Results show that the high average power of the Quasi-CW-fibre-lasers can be effectively used to achieve increased trepanning drilling speed without undermining the drilling quality, which is not feasible with a free-space Nd:YAG laser. Low peak power and high average power can be effectively used to produce better laser drilled hole than the high peak power and low frequency, which is observed with the traditional millisecond Nd:YAG drilling process.

Swirling Gas Jet-Assisted Laser Trepanning for a Galvanometer-Scanned CO2 Laser
摘要: Laser-drilled hole arrays are part of an important field that aim to improve efficiency without affecting the quality of laser-drilled holes. In this paper, a swirling gas jet was implemented to assist with laser trepanning for a galvanometer scanned CO2 laser. The proposed swirling gas jet is based on laser trepanning. This swirling gas jet nozzle was composed of four inlet tubes to produce the flow of the vortex. Then, the plume particles were excluded, and spatter on the surface of the workpiece decreased. Thus, this approach can mitigate the problem of overcooling. This study manipulated the appropriate parameter settings, which were simulated by computational fluid dynamics software ANSYS CFX. The proposed swirling gas jet can be used with galvanometer-based scanner systems to keep the laser beam from interference by spatter. In addition, a hollow position of the vortex was achieved by using the four inlet tubes, which resulted in pressure asymmetry in the nozzle and velocity distribution on the surface of the workpiece. The experiment verified that the depth of processing could be enhanced by 110% when trepanning at a scanning speed of 30 mm/s, and that the removal of volume could be enhanced by 71% in trepanning at a diameter of 1 mm by using a swirl assistant compared with a non-assisted condition. Furthermore, the material removal rate of the swirling jet increases when the machining area of the galvanometer-based scanner is larger.

[Laser Institute of America ICALEO? 2016: 35th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - San Diego, California, USA (October 16–20, 2016)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Ultrafast laser trepanning process and modeling
摘要: We present an engineering model of ultrafast laser ablation with normal or non-normal (oblique) laser beams. It can be applied to trepanning drilling but also to zero-taper cutting. Specific experiments on line ablation are presented to understand how oblique beams can control the walls conicity. Industrial strategies for processing with high throughput and high quality are considered.

Delamination-free millisecond laser drilling of thermal barrier coated aerospace alloys
摘要: Millisecond (ms) pulsed laser drilling is currently state-of-the-art in producing acute angle film cooling holes over aero-engine and gas-turbine components made from uncoated nickel superalloys. After laser drilling, most of these components are coated with a high-temperature thermal barrier coating (TBC) to maintain the temperature of the component at a level appropriate for its application. It is desirable to produce holes over the TBC coated components; however, the current state-of-the-art ms laser drilling of acute angle holes over TBC coated materials results in a high level of coating delamination and hence is not used in manufacturing industries. The recent introduction of ms quasi-continuous wave (QCW) fiber lasers has had a significant impact on industrial laser drilling. This paper reports the results of a fundamental investigation carried out on ms QCW laser drilling of angular holes over TBC coated superalloys and provides a pragmatic solution to the issue of TBC delamination. In addition to the investigation on traditional percussion and trepanning laser drilling processes, a new method of drilling called 'laser drilling post-laser TBC decoating' is evaluated with the aim of achieving delamination-free laser drilling of TBC coated aerospace alloy.
