Laser Concave/Convex Micro-Texture Process of GCr15 Bearing Steel Surface
Laser texture process is carried out on the surface of GCr15 bearing steel by a fiber laser and the morphology of micro texture is observed by the confocal microscope. The effects of power, pulse width and repetition times on texture morphology are analyzed. The experimental results show that with the increment of pulse width, the diameter of textured point increases and the depth of textured point significantly increases in a certain range of pulse width. Under the condition of single pulse,when the pulse width is 1000 μs, textured structure forms a convex profile, and when the pulse width increases to be more than 5000 μs, textured structure forms a concave pit. With the increment of laser power, the diameter and depth of the textured point increase. The heat effect is more obvious with the increase of repetition times. The pit is gradually deepened and then partially filled up. The height of the convex profile is firstly almost invariable and then rapidly increases. The study verifies the feasibility of the same laser to realize concave or convex micro textures simultaneously, and also provides new ideas for processing different surface topography.
