Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of laser irradiation, in particular to a laser irradiation strengthening method and system based on continuous-repetition frequency pulse laser.

Background

Under the irradiation of laser, the laser energy is absorbed by the substance, the surface temperature of the substance will rise continuously, the material starts to generate phase change or even be ionized along with the continuous increase of the irradiation intensity and the action time, and the temperature and the dynamic change rule of the ablation appearance generated in the action process are one of the key concerns of the interaction research of the laser and the substance. The research aiming at the absorption of material acting substances, form change and damage effect has important significance for the development of the fields of laser processing, laser military application and the like. The laser can be divided into continuous laser, long pulse laser and short pulse laser according to its working mode, and has a certain difference with the mechanism of action of matter. When continuous laser and long pulse laser irradiate the surface of a substance, the laser is mainly used as a heat source, acts on the substance and mainly shows energy accumulation and thermal action, and mainly takes the photo-thermal ablation action as the main action; when pulsed laser irradiates the surface of a substance, the surface of the substance absorbs a large amount of laser energy in a short time to cause the phenomena of temperature rise, melting, gasification, sputtering and the like of the substance, the substance surface and the outward sputtered substance are changed into substance steam and continue to absorb energy, optical breakdown is generated through multiphoton avalanche ionization within a period of several picoseconds to several nanoseconds, the temperature of the substance steam obtained in the region is further improved, the ionization degree is also improved, high-temperature and high-pressure plasma is further formed, the plasma continues to absorb subsequent laser energy and the energy is rapidly accumulated in a focusing region, so that the high-temperature and high-pressure plasma expands outwards at supersonic speed to form a high-pressure wave front so as to damage the surface of the substance, and the photo-electric damage effect is taken as the main point.

However, the laser still has the technical problems of poor effect of action damage and the like when irradiating the surface of a substance. For continuous laser and long pulse laser, the peak power is insufficient, the whole action process mainly takes heating substances as main materials, and the damage effect on the substances is poor; although the peak power of the pulse laser is extremely high, initial damage to the surface of a substance is easily caused, a large amount of plasma generated can absorb subsequent laser, the laser cannot continuously act on the surface of the substance, and the further damage effect of the substance is poor.

Detailed Description

The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the following figures and specific examples so that those skilled in the art may better understand the present invention and practice it, but the examples are not intended to limit the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1 to 4, the laser irradiation strengthening method based on continuous-repetition frequency pulse laser of the invention comprises the following steps:

the method comprises the following steps of constructing continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser, wherein the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser comprises continuous laser and pulse laser, namely, the continuous laser is used as a substrate, and the pulse laser is supplemented on the basis of the continuous laser to form the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser.

Referring to fig. 1, the time domain light intensity distribution diagram of the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser is mainly divided into two parts, one part is a high peak power pulse laser 1 and a continuous laser 2, when the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser irradiates an object surface, the high peak power pulse laser 1 is used for exciting a certain amount of plasma on the surface of an acting substance, and the low peak power region 2 is used for injecting energy to the plasma.

And step two, irradiating the substance to be processed by using continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser.

Referring to fig. 2, a schematic diagram of the principle of rapid damage caused by irradiating the surface of an object with continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser is shown. The working principle of the invention is as follows: when the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser 3 irradiates the surface of the object 4, a certain amount of plasma 5 can be excited due to extremely high peak power of the pulse laser, the excited plasma 5 can quickly absorb the energy of the continuous laser to cause the plasma 5 in a small area to quickly heat up, the temperature gradient distribution and the thermal stress on the surface of the object are quickly expanded, and when the thermal stress exceeds the stress threshold of a material, the surface of the object is damaged, so that the effect of quickly damaging the surface of the object 4 is achieved.

Specifically, when the plasma absorbs the energy of the continuous laser 2, the absorption rate of the plasma can be expressed as:

wherein, K_sIn order to obtain the inverse absorption coefficient, v is the laser frequency, T is the plasma temperature, Ne is the electron number density, N + is the aluminum ion density, Z is the atomic coefficient, and k is the Boltzmann constant.

After the plasma in a small area absorbs laser energy, the plasma serving as a secondary heat source can rapidly change the temperature distribution and the stress distribution of the surface of the substance to form great temperature gradient distribution and thermal stress, and the diffusion of the surface temperature of the substance can be expressed as:

where T is temperature, Q represents a heat source, K represents a thermal diffusion coefficient of a substance, and ρ represents a substance density.

The material surface stress distribution satisfies:

wherein the content of the first and second substances,

where u, r, z are the displacement components of a point in the material space domain in the axial, tangential and vertical directions, σ, respectively_r、σ_θAnd σ_zrAxial, tangential and vertical and tangential resultant stresses, respectively. G represents the young's modulus of the material and β represents the coefficient of thermal expansion of the material.

When the thermal stress exceeds the tensile or compressive stress threshold of the material, damage to the material surface will occur.

In the invention, the pulse laser is short pulse spike laser. The continuous laser and the pulse laser may be of the same wavelength or different wavelengths. And the continuous laser and the pulse laser can be obtained by superposition by a spatial beam combination method.

In the invention, the continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser is in the wave bands such as ultraviolet wave band, visible light wave band or infrared wave band, and can be selected according to the working requirement.

Preferably, the spot size of the continuous laser and the pulsed laser may be uniform. Therefore, after the combination of the continuous laser and the pulse laser, two beams of laser can be focused on the same irradiation point, and the stability is better.

The invention also discloses a laser irradiation strengthening system based on the continuous-repetition frequency pulse laser, which comprises a continuous laser generating module, a pulse laser generating module, a space beam combining module and an irradiation module. The continuous laser generation module is used for generating continuous laser. The pulse laser generation module is used for generating pulse laser, and the pulse laser is short pulse spike laser. The space beam combination module combines the continuous laser and the pulse laser to obtain continuous-repetition frequency pulse combined laser.

The irradiation module irradiates the continuous-repeated frequency pulse combined laser on an object to be processed.

In the present invention, the power of the continuous laser is in the order of hundreds of watts (> 100W); the period of the pulsed laser is in the order of nanoseconds.

Fig. 3 is a graph of the temperature of the surface of a substance (ferrous material) irradiated with a combination of continuous and repeated frequency pulses over time. As can be seen from fig. 3, as the laser irradiation time increases, the temperature of the surface of the substance increases due to the laser, and during the laser action, the temperature increases continuously and finally tends to be stable.

Fig. 4 is a graph showing the variation of radial stress and axial stress on the surface of a substance (iron material) irradiated with laser light in combination with continuous and repeated frequency pulses. It can be seen from the figure that the radial stress and the axial stress of the surface of the substance continuously increase with the increase of the laser irradiation time and finally tend to be saturated, the radial stress of the surface of the substance is smaller than the axial stress, the tensile stress threshold of the iron material is about 170-270 MPa, the compressive stress threshold is about 200MPa, and as the irradiation time increases, the axial compressive stress intensity of the surface of the iron material is larger than the compressive stress threshold of the material after the iron material is irradiated by the laser for about several seconds, so that the surface of the substance is damaged.
