    摘要: An apparatus creating a processing cell for laser peening operations includes an enclosure which substantially defines a work cell or processing cell with a transparent overlay material applicator disposed therein. A cleaning system is utilized that may include a vapor exhaust, liquid removal system, and a gas or air supply. A vapor exhaust system is connected to the enclosure for removing vapor from within the processing cell. A liquid removal system is connected to the enclosure for removing liquid from the processing cell. A gas or air supply is connected to the enclosure to flood the enclosure with gas or air to flush airborne debris therefrom. A workpiece manipulator may be disposed or operate within the cell for moving workpieces therein.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for improving properties of a solid material by providing shock waves therethrough. Laser shock processing is used to provide the shock waves. The method includes applying a transparent overlay to the solid material to be worked. The solid material or overlay is vibrated to release any gas bubbles or solid debris within the transparent layer which could cause localized non-uniform confinement of a pressure pulse applied for a workpiece thereby causing irregularities in the workpiece surface. A pulse of coherent laser energy is the directed to the coated portion of the solid material to create a shock wave. Additionally, the method may include adding a wetting agent or controlling the temperature of the overlay material to reduce the concentration of gas bubbles therein.

    摘要: A laser processing method for processing a hidden surface of a workpiece, the hidden surface being disposed within a recess having an opening. The method includes inserting a reflective member into the recess and directing a pulse of coherent energy to reflect off of said reflective member and impact the hidden surface of a workpiece to create a shock wave. Alteratively a surface of the recess may be modified to laser shock process the hidden surface. In one particular embodiment, the reflective member is specifically shaped toprovide diction of a pulse of coherent energy to a hidden surface so that a substantially uniform energy density is applied to the hidden surface. In an additional embodiment, the method is optimized for preventing damage to the reflective member. In one particular embodiment, the reflective member is composed of a fluid.
