    摘要: A laser apparatus is disclosed which is capable of protecting the laser slab or rod crystal within the laser from damage due to overheating when the laser malfunctions in a manner such that laser output ceases while optical pumping of the laser crystal continues. The laser apparatus includes a laser crystal situated within a laser cavity. The apparatus also includes an excitation lamp for pumping the crystal to generate a laser beam to project along a desired main path. A first sensor senses the cessation of the projection of the laser beam along the desired main path and a second sensor senses the continuing excitation of the excitation lamp. The apparatus further includes a extinguishing circuit for extinguishing the excitation lamp a predetermined amount of time after the cessation of the laser beam such that damage to the laser apparatus due to overheating is avoided.

    摘要: A method for forming an aperture in a component wall made of metal, the aperture having a diffuser which opens up and outward from a bottom of the diffuser to a first surface of the wall, the method includes the following steps: A) laser machining the wall with a laser which produces a laser beam having a pulse rate and power sufficient to vaporize the metal; B) firing and traversing the laser beam, preferably at an acute angle, across the surface to a predetermined first edge of the diffuser in a single pass starting at a centerline of the diffuser; and C) traversing the laser beam at an increasing rate of speed during the pass so that each beam pulse vaporizes the metal at a laser spot such that successive laser spots substantially overlap each other in decreasing amounts and the pulses nibble out the metal to form a continuous trench below the surface.

    摘要: A method of laser shock peening a gas turbine engine object continuously firing a stationary laser beam, which repeatably pulses between relatively constant periods, on a portion of the object with a low power laser beam, on the order of 3-10 joules, to vaporize material on the surface of a portion of a part made of a strong hard metal, such as a titanium alloy. Laser pulses around small laser beam spots, on the order of 1 mm in diameter, are used to vaporize material on the surface of the portion of the object with the pulses around laser beam spots formed by the laser beam on the surface and form a region having deep compressive residual stresses extending into the object from the laser shock peened surface. Flowing a curtain of water over the surface upon which the laser beam is firing while preferably moving the object until the laser shock peened surface is completely covered by laser beam spots at least once. The surface may be coated with an ablative coating such as a paint which is suitable to produce the plasma or the surface may be unpainted and the metal of the object is used to produce the plasma.

    摘要: A method and system are shown for protecting the threaded ends of tubular goods such as oil field tubulars from physical damage and corrosion due to environmental factors. A thread protector is formed of a polymeric body having cylindrical wall portions which engage the threaded ends of the tubular goods. Instead of relying upon a separate thread compound or corrosion inhibitor applied to the exposed threads, the polymeric body has incorporated therein a corrosion inhibiting compound, which is blended within the polymeric body as a part of the manufacturing process used to mold the polymeric body. The thread protector of the present disclosure includes a weather barrier to minimize exposure of the threaded ends of the tubular goods to moisture and other contaminants. The weather barrier includes a weather barrier ring and an air vent.

    摘要: An improved method and apparatus for laser trepanning a passage through a workpiece, gas turbine engine component or the like includes the method steps of: providing a linearly polarized beam of laser energy; focusing the laser beam on a selected location on the component; moving one of the laser beam or the workpiece relative to one another along a first selected trepanning path and along a second selected trepanning path, which is substantially opposite in direction to the first selected path, to compensate for the linear polarization of the laser beam and to reduce the processing time. The steps of moving one of the laser beam or the workpiece along the first and second trepanning paths are repeated until a passage is cut to a desired depth into the surface of the component or the passage is cut entirely through the component. An apparatus for accomplishing the method of the present invention includes a laser system for generating a linearly polarized beam of laser energy and a manipulator arrangement for moving one of the laser system or the component relative to one another. The apparatus further includes a computer controller which is programmed to move either the laser system or the component along the first and second selected trepanning paths.
