    摘要: A stress and texture morphology controlling method for preparing a super-hydrophobic surface of an aluminum alloy by laser etching includes the following steps: pretreating a surface of an aluminum alloy; fixing a pretreated aluminum alloy to an ultrasonic vibration platform, continuously charging flowing liquid nitrogen to a to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy, and controlling a flow of the liquid nitrogen to cool the to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy and keep the to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy at a low temperature; keeping stable flowing of the liquid nitrogen on the to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy after the to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy is cooled, using the ultrasonic vibration platform to generate a high-frequency ultrasonic vibration field, and etching the to-be-machined surface of the aluminum alloy to form a super-hydrophobic textured micro-nano structure surface; and reducing a surface energy of the super-hydrophobic textured micro-nano structure surface.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a numerical simulation method of pulsed laser paint removal and a use thereof. This method establishes a three-dimensional (3D) temperature field model by ANSYS software to perform a numerical simulation of nanosecond pulsed laser paint removal. A high-speed moving pulsed laser is loaded on a surface of the model in a form of heat flux, and a coordinate system is moved to realize loading on different paths. A special surface mesh screening method is used to realize loading on any surface, and it ensures that laser energy distribution on a material surface is in line with reality. In addition, an element birth/death technology is combined to remove an element that exceeds a threshold, so as to intuitively present the surface morphology after laser paint removal. The present disclosure can realize the prediction of the contour of a paint layer ablated by a pulsed laser.

    摘要: In a cryogenic workbench, a cryogenic laser peening system and a control method, a tapered surface gap d is adjusted, based on the electromagnetic principle, to control the gasification volume of liquid nitrogen, then the temperatures of the copious cooling workbench and the surface of a sample are precisely controlled by means of the adjustment of the heat absorption amount of liquid nitrogen gasification, the temperature adjustment range and the temperature rising/lowering rate of the cryogenic laser peening system are effectively extended, and the precision of the control of the surface temperature of the sample is increased in combination with a closed-loop control. Additionally, an intelligent control of a cryogenic laser peening process is realized by means of a computer and a PLC control unit, whereby the usage amount of liquid nitrogen in the experiment process is reduced and the processing efficiency is improved.

    摘要: An electromagnetic apparatus for active intervention to a shape of a molten pool is provided. In the present invention, a workpiece is placed on stepped surfaces of a test bench. Upon power on, a metal rod rotates to generate a toroidal magnetic field centered on the metal rod, and the toroidal magnetic field acts on the molten pool to generate an induced current. The induced current generates Lorentz force under the action of the magnetic field, which acts perpendicularly on an outer surface of the molten pool, thereby changing the height, depth and width of the molten pool, and finally realizing the active intervention to the molten pool shape.

    摘要: A method for preparing a super-hydrophobic aluminum alloy surface through flat-topped laser peening includes the following steps: pretreating an aluminum alloy surface; evenly coating the pretreated aluminum alloy surface with a nanoscale carbon powder layer; performing unconstrained peening treatment on the aluminum alloy surface using a square spot flat-topped nanosecond pulsed laser with the nanoscale carbon powder layer serving as an absorption layer, where beams are kept perpendicular to the aluminum alloy surface all the time; and removing residual carbon nanopowder after the peening, and reducing surface energy of the aluminum alloy material through low-temperature heat treatment, to obtain a super-hydrophobic aluminum alloy surface with micro-nano multiscale structures. According to the present disclosure, the carbon content near the surface layer of the aluminum alloy material is increased, and the hardness and wear resistance of the prepared hydrophobic surface can be effectively improved.
