Abstract: The profile and temperature distribution of laser molten pool are mainly factors which have directly effect on quality of laser processing (laser melting and laser cladding). It is very necessary to study measurement method of melting process in laser molten poo1 on-line, for improving processing design and inspecting laser processing quality. A system of dynamic process measurement for laser molten pool was developed. The melting process of laser scanning molten pool formed by high power CO2 Laser was measured. Its temperature distribution was analyzed by special analysis software. It was shown that a section of integrated molten pool would come into being in the middle of the laser scanning line spot after a period of scanning time, and then the molten pool got increased in length with the time, and a little increased in width at the same time, the result was consistent with that of computer numerical simulation. Compared with laser focusing spot, laser scanning spot was more uniform in temperature distribution, that could be propitious to improve the quality of laser processing.

Abstract: Based on the calculation formulas of heat treatment temperature field of the narrow strip spot of laser beam passing a scanning rotating mirror, the effect of scanning frequency on temperature field was analyzed in this study, and the math model of the temperature field with scanning frequency was derived applying the superposing principle of the temperature field. The value simulation and figures description were given. The relationship between scanning frequency and temperature distribution was studied, and the best extent of frequency was given for carbon steel laser quenching with laser rotating mirror. The value simulation shows that the higher the scanning frequency is, the more evenly distributed the temperature field gets. At a certain laser power and a certain length of laser scanning line spot, for non-melting laser heat treatment under the spot, a maximum thickness of the high- temperature layer can be get at some certain scanning frequency range which depends on thermal diffusion coefficient of the material.
