Thermal Stress Variation of Titanium Alloy under Laser Radiation

Abstract:

Titanium alloy is a premium metal with properties of low density, high hardness and resistance against high temperature and corrosion, the application of which has gained serious explorations in manufacture and military. Laser pulses of different power, duration and beam spot size are employed under room temperature to investigate the thermal stress variation of a titanium alloy plate with the aim of proposing ideal coefficients in laser processing of titanium alloy. The experiment was carried out as numeric simulations of thermal response and thermal dynamo coupling of the titanium alloy plate by using the COMSOL software.
