The xenon flash lamp pumped Cr, Er:YAG laser had a maximum single pulse energy of 1.414 J, and the threshold and slope efficiency were 141.70 J and 0.70% which were respectively reduced by 29.3% and increased by 52.2% compared with the Er:YAG laser. At liquid nitrogen temperature of 77 K, the maximum single pulse energy of the Fe:ZnSe laser was 197.6 m J, corresponding to a slope efficiency of 13.4%. The central wavelength and full width at half maximum(FWHM) linewidth were 4037.4 nm and 122.0 nm, respectively. At room temperature, the laser generated a maximum single pulse energy of 3.5 mJ at the central wavelength of 4509.6 nm with an FWHM linewidth of 171.5 nm.展开更多

Specimens of low carbon steel were processed firstly by laser cladding with Fe-based alloy powders and then by electrospark deposition with WC-SCo cemented carbide. It is shown that, for these two treatments, the electrospark coating possesses finer microstructure than the laser coating, and the thickness and surface hardness of the electrospark coating can be substantially increased.展开更多

Proper Cr content(5 at% Cr) will lead to decrease in the melting point, and improves the viscosity of the liquid and the nucleation rate of the molten pool, leading to refining grains of the solidification structure. As a result, the Fe-29 Al-5 Cr laser cladding layer exhibits the best hardness, plasticity properties, and wear resistance at 400 °C. Excessive Cr for the Fe-29 Al-7.5 Cr coating leads to the formation of Cr2 Al in the grain boundaries and thermal vacancies during the solidification process, resulting in inferior mechanical properties and poor tribological behavior.展开更多
