Study on Recast Phenomenon in Processing of Micro-Hole with Millisecond Laser

Article Preview

Abstract:

The experiments of micro-hole ablation are conducted firstly on titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V with Nd: YAG millisecond laser. A significant factor which affects the depth of blind hole is found: the depth of recast material. This paper closely examines the regularity of recast depth varying with laser parameters, discovering that the ratio of recast depth to the entire hole depth decreases as pulse width decreases, and increases as peak power decreases. Verification experiment is conducted on stainless steel 1Cr13, eventually micro-hole with very thin recast layer is drilled when the maximum peak power and the minimum pulse width of the present millisecond laser are used.
