Definitions

  • This invention relates to improvements in the laser shock processing/peening (LSP) method for increasing the properties, such as hardness, strength, fatigue life (or fatigue strength), and corrosion resistance of metallic materials or of welds between metal surfaces.
  • LSP laser shock processing/peening
  • shock wave a pressure pulse that propagates into the material and changes its properties.
  • the changes in properties are caused by the introduction of cold work that increases the hardness and strength of the material.
  • By appropriate tailoring of the peak pressure and width of the shock wave it is possible to enhance selected material properties, such as fatigue strength, and at the same time not adversely affect other properties, such as corrosion resistance. It is possible also to shock process a finished workpiece of material without significantly disturbing its surface, where a thin sacrificial layer of overlay material has been attached intimately onto the surface of the workpiece.
  • Shock processing with coherent radiation has several advantages over what has been done before. For example: (a) The source of the radiation is highly controllable and reproducible, (b) The radiation is easily focused on preselected surface areas and the operating mode is easily changed. This allows flexibility in the desired shocking pressure and careful control over the workpiece area to be shocked, (c) Workpieces immersed in hostile environments such as high temperature and high vacuum can be shock processed, (d) It is easy to shock the workpiece repetitively. This is desirable where it is possible to enhance material properties in a stepwise fashion. Shocking the workpiece several times at low pressures can avoid gross deformation and spallation of the workpiece. (e) The process is readily amenable to automation, (f) Nonplanar workpieces can be shock processed without the need of elaborate and costly shock focusing schemes.

  • the negative effect is then produced at the boundary of the processed area and slightly beyond, in the form of a compensating residual tensile stress in the material.

  • the LSP process typically includes applying an opaque, absorbing coating and a transparent overlay to a workpiece and directing a laser pulse (or a plurality of pulses) on the overlay. Most of the energy from the laser pulse passes through the transparent overlay and vaporizes a portion of the absorbing coating. For sufficiently short pulses and sufficiently intense beams, the vapor forms a plasma with very high peak pressure.
  • the transparent overlay serves as a tamp and confines the * plasma to enhance the magnitude and duration of the pressure pulse that it exerts on the surface of the workpiece.
  • a shock wave is generated by the pressure pulse. It travels into the material and, in the case of metals, alters the microstructure in such a way as to leave a residual compressive stress in the workpiece. The residual stress results in greatly improved fatigue properties for the treated region.
  • the pulses of coherent radiation have an average energy fluence of at least about 10 Joules per square centimeter. It is preferred that the rise time of the radiation pulse is not longer than about 5 nanoseconds. For production processes it is also preferred that the pulse rate is fairly rapid.
  • FIG. 1 typical known apparatus 10 is shown, suitable for improving properties of a metallic material in a target 11 by providing shock waves therein. Additional details of the apparatus can be found in U.S. Patent 5,131,957 which is incorporated herein by reference.
  • the apparatus shown in Figure 1 may produce a plurality of pulses of coherent radiation 12 having average energy fluence of at least about 10 Joules per square centimeter and rise time of not longer than about 5 nanoseconds within a fluorescence envelope lasting about 0.5 to 5 milliseconds.
  • the coherent radiation 12 is generated by an oscillator 13-17 comprising a rear mirror 13, a laser pump cavity 14, a polarizer 15, a pockels cell 16, and an output coupler 17.
  • the laser pump cavity 14 comprises a gain medium, such as a neodymium-glass laser rod, pumped by flashlamps that are driven at regular intervals of about 0.5 to 10 seconds by a pulse forming network (PFN).
  • PPN pulse forming network
  • One such laser pump cavity 14 that has been used conveniently in the apparatus 10 comprises the following components (along with examples of specific models) manufactured by Kigre, Inc. of Hilton Head, South Carolina:
  • Laser rod 10 mm diameter by 20 cm long (eg. Schott Glass Technology LG760)
  • Controller eg. Model 883 with integral 330 watt Power Supply by Kigre, Inc.
  • the oscillator 13-17 provides an approximately rectangular fluorescence envelope lasting about 0.2 to 5 milliseconds.
  • the coherent radiation 12 from the laser pump cavity 14 is linearly polarized.
  • the polarizer 15 breaks the radiation 12 down into two linearly polarized orthogonal components; one of which (component B) it reflects away as indicated at 12B; and the other (component A) it transmits on, as indicated at 12A, to the pockels cell 16.
  • the pockels cell 16 retards the coherent radiation 12A one-fourth wavelength (90 degrees) while transmitting it on to the output coupler 17, which reflects about one-half of it back toward the polarizer 15.
  • the reflected energy proceeds back through the pockels cell 16 with a further retardation of one-fourth wavelength (90 degrees). So the back radiation is one-half wavelength (180 degrees) out of phase with the forward radiation of component A, thus having the opposite polarization (B), and it is reflected away by the polarizer 15, as indicated at 12C, so as not to return to the laser pump cavity 14.
  • laser energy builds up and is stored in the laser rod of the pump cavity 14, because oscillations cannot occur.
  • the potential across the pockels cell 16 is reduced to zero, typically by shorting it to ground, for about 1 to 5 microseconds producing a laser pulse.
  • the output coupler 17 comprises a partially reflective mirror that transmits about half of the energy. It is generally preferred to provide a radiation pulse with a short rise time, in which case each pulse 12 is passed through a pulse sharpener.
  • One such pulse sharpener 18 comprises a coating of aluminum about 150 to 5,000 angstroms thick on a supporting film that is substantially transparent and thin enough to be non-distorting to the radiation wavefront.
  • the supporting film typically comprises a strong polyester material such as oriented, at least partially crystalline, polyethylene terephthalate, about 1 to 40 micrometers thick.
  • Mylar a product of E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Company. Mylar is birefringent, and its optical axis should be oriented to correspond with the polarization of the polarizer 15.
  • the radiation pulse 12 strikes the aluminum film 18, typically vaporizing an area of about 0.1 to 0.2 square millimeters of the film in about 0.1 to 3 nanoseconds, after which the area of vaporization typically expands to about 1 to 1,000 square millimeters in about 2 to 10 nanoseconds. This sharpens the leading edge of the radiation pulse 12 passing through the hole where the film 18 has been vaporized away, and the modified pulse 12 is directed to a preamplifier 20.
  • planar mirrors 19 may be included in the path of the radiation 12 to change or adjust the direction of the beam of radiation 12.
  • the preamplifier 20 which may be (and typically is) similar to the laser pump cavity 14, amplifies the radiation pulse 12, typically by about 3 to 10 decibels, and the amplified radiation 12 proceeds by way of a telescope, typically comprising a negative lens 21 and a positive lens 22, to an amplifier 23, which typically further amplifies the radiation pulse 12 by about 5 to 15 decibels.
  • One amplifier 23 that has been used conveniently in the apparatus 10 comprises the following components by Kigre, Inc. of Hilton Head, South Carolina (except the laser rod):
  • the amplified radiation pulse 12 is focused by a positive lens 24 onto a desired area of the surface 25 of the target 11 , to provide an average energy fluence therein typically of at least about 10 (and preferably about 10 to 500) Joules per square centimeter, and an average power flux on the target of at least about 10 7 (and preferably about 10 9 to 10 ⁇ ) watts per square centimeter, with pulse lengths typically of about 10 to 1,000 nanoseconds.
  • the maximum power flux will be limited by the formation of a reflecting plasma at the target surface. This maximum power flux will increase as the laser wavelength decreases. For example for a laser wavelength of 0.53 micrometer the maximum power flux will be approximately four times that for a wavelength of 1.06 micrometers.
  • a portion of the output 12 of the amplifier 23, typically about 10 percent, may be directed by a beam splitter 37 and mirror 39 to a second similar amplifier 23' to provide a second amplified radiation pulse 12', focused by a positive lens 24' onto a desired area of the surface 25 of the target 11 simultaneously with the pulse 12 from the amplifier 23.
  • a portion of the output 12' from the amplifier 23' may be directed by a beam splitter 37' to an additional amplifier, and so on, to provide additional pulses to the target 11.
  • pulses from the different amplifiers are directed to the same area on the surface 25 of the target 11, to overlapping areas on the surface of the target 11, and/or to areas that are on opposite surfaces of the target 11.
  • the portion of the apparatus 10 already described above provides one properly sharpened pulse within each fluorescence envelope in the same manner as is described above.
  • Two radiation pulses within each fluorescence envelope can be provided by incorporating a second oscillator by utilizing the other radiation component 12B from the laser pump cavity 14 and the polarizer 15 and directing the component through a second pockels cell and output coupler.
  • the pulse can also be directed through a second pulse sharpener and then reflected from a second polarizer (to join the 12A pulse passed through the second polarizer) before being directed to the preamplifier 20 by the mirrors 19 with the 12A pulse.
  • a layer 26 of solid or liquid overlay material is attached to a surface 25 of the target 11, and the radiation pulse 12 is directed to the layer 26 of overlay material.
  • the thickness of the target 11 plus any overlay 26 that is absorbent to the radiation 12 preferably is at least about two micrometers greater than the mean free path of the radiation 12 therein.
  • the target 11 preferably is mounted against a substantially larger solid support member 31 or is rigidly held by a fixture, either of which is rigidly attached to a table or other large fixed object.
  • These overlay materials may be of two types, one transparent to the laser radiation and one opaque to the laser radiation. They may be used either alone or in combination with each other; but it is preferred that they be used in combination, with the overlay 26 directly on the surface 25 of the target 11 being opaque and the outer overlay 30 or 27 being transparent.
  • the layer of overlay material 26 should be attached securely over the surface 25 of the target 11 so as to be in intimate surface contact throughout the area to be radiated.
  • the overlay material comprises a liquid, as at 27, it may be held within an enclosure 28, of which at least the front portion 29 preferably is transparent to the radiation 12, or it may flow over the area to be treated without restriction by an enclosure.
  • the solid transparent overlay 30 may be omitted, if desired.
  • the liquid 27 and the enclosure 28 may be omitted.
  • a second pulse sharpener can be added to the apparatus.
  • a second oscillator can be utilized comprising existing laser pump cavity 14 and polarizer 15 and adding a second pockels cell and output coupler by means of which the other radiation component 12B may be used to provide a second sharpened pulse by way of a second pulse sharpener, mirror and polarizer, thereby reflecting the component B radiation to the first mirror 19; and from there the path of the radiation 12 is the same as that of the component 12 A.
  • the second pockels cell is shorted about 150 microseconds later than is the first pockels cell 16, so that the second radiation pulse 12 will strike the target 11 about 150 microseconds after the first pulse 12.
  • the modified apparatus may provide two radiation pulses to the target for each fluorescent envelope and the films in the pulse sharpeners need to move only about 1 centimeter per second.
  • Mechanical shot peening is a process that has been practiced for many years to work harden the surface of metal parts.
  • a metal part is placed in an enclosed area and is bombarded by multiplicity of solid, often spherical objects. These are typically steel shot.
  • the impact of the shot work hardens the surface (leaving a residual compressive stress) over the impact area.
  • the degree of residual stress is affected by the weight and size of the shot, the velocity and number of impacts, and hardness of the shot, among other process conditions well know in the art.
  • Mechanical shot peening may be used where the surface condition of the part is not critical, because the impacts also leave impressions in the surface, and where the shape is not complex since the balls have to have a line of flight access to the peened area. Portions of the part may be selectively treated by using a rubber masking over areas not to be peened. LSP Edge Effects
  • LSP beneficial result of LSP is a compressive residual stress that covers the same area (or slightly more) as the laser pulse (also known as the laser spot or shot). Because the net residual stress in the bulk material must be zero, compensating tensile residual stresses are also present, and they do appear in a boundary region adjacent to and surrounding the laser spot. This region may have high surface tensile stresses, as shown in Figure 5. Higher laser beam fluence generally gives rise to higher compressive stress and potentially higher compensating tensile stress.
  • Figure 5A shows typical residual (surface) stress profiles for a titanium alloy specimen laser shocked three times with a 200 J/cm 2 circular beam. Residual stress measurements (ordinate) were taken at the surface of the specimen at radial locations measured from the center of the primary shock region (abscissa). The edge of the PSR is shown as the vertical dashed line at about 2.5 mm. The dashed curve represents the residual stress at the testing location in the radial direction to the (circular) PSR and the solid curve represents the residual stress at the testing location in the tangential direction.
  • the background or baseline residual stresses (in the untreated material) in the tangential direction and the radial direction are shown by the horizontal dashed lines at about 360 and 185 MPa, respectively.
  • the residual stress in the PSR is compressive, but turns tensile just outside the PSR and ultimately exceeds the background residual stress at some distance from the PSR.
  • This tensile area can be a source for fatigue failure in commercial parts.
  • the highest magnitude of the residual stress is generally on or just below the surface of the material, but subsurface residual stresses are also present and respond similarly to the LSP treatments.
  • the tensile stresses may be reduced by further laser shocking the specimen with lower-energy pulses in the compensating tensile residual stress area adjacent the PSR. Since lower energy fluence generally gives lower compensating tensile stress, this secondary LSP significantly reduces or eliminates the area of compensating tensile residual stress caused by the primary laser shocking and in turn creates a lower compensating tensile residual stress region associated with the secondary shock region farther out from the PSR (and farther from the fatigue critical area). So the secondary shocking reduces or eliminates the compensating (primary) tensile residual stress area, and can result in a lower compensating (secondary) tensile residual stress area more remote from the fatigue critical area which, of course, would typically lower the risk of failure.
  • the primary or the secondary pulse may be applied in either order (that is, the secondary pulse may actually be applied first) to gain the benefits of the invention.
  • the compensating tensile residual stress may be reduced in the secondary shock region by conventional mechanical shot peening. Shot peening is carried out on the secondary region to such an extent that the compensating tensile stress is reduced to near the background level or is nearly eliminated completely.
  • This secondary peening treatment also known as fade out or feathering, is shown schematically in Figure 2 wherein a fatigue critical zone X exists in a specimen 40.
  • the specimen is laser-shock processed, with a primary spot of 200 J/cm 2 , for example, as represented by element 41 over a primary shock region (the height being indicative of fluence level), resulting in a compensating tensile stress in the material in the boundary area outside of and adjacent the PSR.
  • a second laser shock is provided by annular spot of 150 J/cm 2 , for example, as represented by element 42 overlapping the periphery of the PSR, and resulting in a reduction or elimination of the (primary) compensating tensile stress in the area of secondary shocking 42.
  • the secondary laser shocking can also result in a compensating tensile stress of its own in the material in the boundary area outside of and adjacent to the secondary shocked region. Therefore, a third laser shock may optionally be provided by an annular pulse of 75 J/cm 2 , for example, as represented by element 43 overlapping the periphery of the second laser pulse(s) and resulting in an even further reduction or elimination of the (secondary) compensating tensile stress in the area of tertiary shocking 43 and an even lower (tertiary) compensating tensile stress in the material outside of and adjacent to the tertiary shock region, and so on until an acceptable level of residual tensile stress is achieved.
  • the primary, secondary and tertiary pulses may be applied in any order.
  • the secondary pulse shape (the cross-sectional beam geometry on the specimen) need not be coincident with the primary pulse.
  • the primary spot 50 may be circular and the secondary pulse 51 either circular ( Figure 3A), overlapping the entire primary pulse, or annular ( Figure 3B), overlapping only the outside edge.
  • a plurality of smaller pulses 52 may also be used to shock the area outside the PSR, such as shown in Figure 3C.
  • the secondary pulse can also be of a different shape than the primary pulse and need not be concentric or symmetric. Of course, the same applies to the tertiary pulse with respect to the secondary pulse.
  • An alternative method of fade out or feathering which is particularly desirable involves the modification of the spatial distribution of the laser beam to yield a secondary laser pulse which is not uniform in intensity across the shock region.
  • the secondary (and/or tertiary) pulses can have an intensity profile which decreases gradually at increasing distance from the PSR (ie. the higher fluence region is nearer the PSR).
  • Some sample beam intensity profiles are shown in Figure 4 wherein the intensity is in the vertical dimension and profiles are each shown across a secondary (or tertiary) shock region on the material surface: A. Flat Top, B. Symmetric, C. Symmetric, D. Symmetric, E. Gaussian, F. Asymmetric, G. Asymmetric. Many lasers produce a Gaussian or near-Gaussian spatial distribution. Special optics (perhaps binary optics) could be fabricated to generate other spatial distributions.
  • the secondary pulses can be provided in the same manner as above described for the PSR and by the same laser or by a different laser at a later time.
  • the secondary pulses can be provided substantially after the primary pulses or can be nearly coincident in time.
  • One way of making them nearly coincident involves the use of a second smaller amplifier 23' ( Figure 1) to provide a second, lower- energy, amplified radiation pulse 12', focused by a positive lens 24' onto the desired expanded area of the surface 25 of the target 11 simultaneously with or just after the higher-energy pulse 12 from the amplifier 23.
  • a portion of the output 12' from the amplifier 23' may be directed by a beam splitter 37' etc, and any convenient number of amplifiers may be employed similarly to provide additional lower-energy pulses to the target 11.
  • These lower-energy pulses from the different amplifiers would be directed to the areas at the boundary of the primary spot on the surface 25 of the target 11.
  • laser shock hardening of a material according to the present invention was performed as described below, using apparatus as shown in Figure 1, both for the primary shocking and the secondary feathering at the edge of the primary shocked region (PSR).
  • the principal components were a Kigre oscillator 14 and preamplifier 20, as described above, and two beam amplifiers 23 which were similar to the Kigre amplifiers but which had flashlamps located more uniformly around the rod so that the spatial amplitude of the radiation was more uniform (such as shown in U.S. Patent 5,127,019, which is incorporated herein by reference).
  • the outputs from the amplifiers 23 were directed to spots at a given location on the target 11. Each primary laser spot was generally circular and approximately 5 millimeters in diameter.
  • the target specimens were about 2.5 cm square and 1.25 cm thick.
  • the target was a titanium alloy containing 6 % aluminum and 4 % vanadium, by weight.
  • the target surface was coated to absorb the laser energy, and thus avoid any possible melting at the surface.
  • the standard procedure was to spray the surface with black spray enamel in two multi-pass steps.
  • the enamel usually applied was Zynolyte Rustmate 1010 Bar-B-Que black.
  • the Zynolyte paint is sold by Zynolyte Products Company, Carson, California and manufactured by Major Paint Company, Torrance, California. Other dark paints can be used with varying results. It appears useful if the paint is not allowed to dry completely, since this prevents cracking and spalling of the paint layer.
  • the sample target was loaded into a holding fixture.
  • Each sample was thick enough that no backup or impedance matching material was necessary to eliminate or minimize any back reflected shock pulse, which in thinner targets could appreciably reduce the net amount of residual stress stored at the shock surface.
  • a transparent overlay material was provided over the flat black paint to confine the shock pulse and direct it into the sample.
  • the overlay comprised flowing water, introduced at a convenient location above the area to be hit by the laser beam and adjusted so that it spread out into a substantially flat uniform sheet approximately one millimeter thick as it flowed over the area to be laser shock processed.

Abstract

On recourt au martelage/traitement par chocs laser pour renforcer des zones de pièces métalliques qui sont critiques par rapport à la fatigue. Malgré certains avantages, un effet négatif de ce procédé survient à la limite d'une zone ainsi traitée, car l'impulsion laser induit dans le matériau une contrainte de compression dans la zone de surface (et dans une certaine mesure, sous la surface) de la tache laser. Comme la contrainte résiduelle nette du matériau doit égaler zéro, on peut produire des contraintes résiduelles de traction compensatoires dans la zone limite entourant la tache laser. Cette zone de contrainte de traction à la surface de la pièce peut être le site de défaillances ultérieures d'une éprouvette si elle n'est pas ramenée à un niveau de contrainte acceptable. On peut réduire ces contraintes de traction par de nouveaux chocs laser produits à la surface de l'éprouvette dans cette zone limite, grâce à des impulsions de plus faible énergie. Comme une fluence énergétique plus faible entraîne généralement une contrainte de traction compensatoire plus faible, ce martelage secondaire par chocs laser limite considérablement ou élimine la zone compensatoire de traction créée par les chocs laser principaux et la remplace par une zone de contrainte de traction compensatoire plus faible associée à la zone de chocs secondaires qui est plus éloignée de la zone critique par rapport à la fatigue.
