Abstract: Water-jet guided laser micromachining is the new development of laser machining. This paper analysis the action mechanism of the plasma shock wave and hollow erode effects in water-jet guided laser machining processing, on the base of the thermal effects of the laser and water-jet. And the numerical model on the action effects between the water-jet guided laser and the material was founded. Using the software ANSYS, the processing of the water-jet guided laser micromachining was simulated. This paper gave the investigation on the distributing of temperature field in processing of water-jet guided laser micromachining. And the results of the correlative experiment correspond with the simulation results.

Abstract: Water-jet guided laser micromachining is the new development orientation of laser machining. This paper set up the numerical model on the action between the water-jet guided laser and the material. By using the software ANSYS, simulated the processing of the water-jet guided laser micromachining. This paper gave the investigation on the machining laws and the distributing of temperature fielding in processing of water-jet guided laser micromachining. And the results of the correlative experiment prove the model aright. The result provided the theoretical foundation for the next research on the water-jet guided laser machining.

Abstract: The processing effect using water-jet guided laser micromachining technology is determined by the accurate coupling of focused laser and high speed water-jet. In order to realize the effective coupling, based on the analysis and calculation, a coupling unit with special structures was designed. The maximum angle of incidence was researched, which determined whether the total reflection occurred when laser transported in the water-jet. By the aid of fluid dynamical simulation, the coupling unit with uniform distribution of inner-cavity fluid field was designed. The attenuation of laser energy in water-jet fiber was investigated. Using appropriate laser wavelength, pulse energy and filtered and de-ionized water, energy attenuation in fiber was reduced. Experimental results showed that applying this coupling technology, perfect water-jet guided laser micromachining can be achieved.

Abstract: In order to improve wear resistance of titanium alloy, with pre-placed B4C and NiCrBSi powders on Ti-6Al-4V substrate, a process of laser melting-solidifying metal matrix composite coating was studied. The coating was examined using XRD, SEM and EDS. A good metal matrix composite coating was obtained in a proper laser process. There is a metallurgical interface bonding between the coating and the substrate. During laser melting-solidifying process, high energy of laser melted the pre-placed powders and a part of Ti-6Al-4V substrate, which made Ti extend into a melting pool. A reaction between Ti and B4C took place in the melting pool, which in-situ synthesized TiB2 and TiC reinforcements in the coating. The composite coating mainly consists of γ-Ni matrix, TiB2, TiC and CrB reinforcements. Microstructure of the reinforcements obtained using the laser melting-solidifying is not as same as that of reinforcements obtained using general producing methods. Due to high cooling rate of the melting pool, TiC nucleated primarily and grew up in dendrite morphology from undercooled liquid. Encircling TiC, TiB2 precipitated later and grew up in hexagonal prism morphology. TiC and TiB2 formed an inlaid microstructure.
