The oxidation resistance of the laser clad intermetallic composide coating was investigated under the testing condition of 1000℃ and 50 hours. The results indicate that the laser clad intermetallic composite coating has a rapidly solidified homogeneous microstruc-ture consisting of Ti5Si3 primary particles uniformly distributed in the Ti5Si3/NiTi eutectic matrix and it is metal-lurgically bonded to the titanium substrate. The isothermal elevated -temperature oxidation resistance of the laser clad intermetallic composite coating is enhanced significantly. Oxidation resistance of the laser clad intermetallic composite coating was up to 1. 79 times higher than that of the original titanium alloy BT9. The oxidation kinetics of the laser clad γ/NiTi intermetallic composite coating is conforming to the parabolic-rate law equation at the testing condition.The excellent oxidation resistance of the coating is mainly attributed tO that the relatively continuous OXide scales which mainly consist of TiO2,A1203 and SiO2 prevented the inner part of the laser clad interm etallic composite coating from being further oxidized.
The metal siliclde MoSi2 is regarded as a promising candidate high-temperature structure material due to its outstanding balance of high melting point (2030℃ ) .lower density(6. 24g/cm3) , excellent oxidation resistance. MoSi2 metal silicide composite coating was fabricated on substrate of nickel- plate by laser cladding using Mo - Si elemental powder blends. Non -equilibrium rapid solidified microstructure was characterized by SEM.XRD and EDS. Microhardness of the composite coating was measured by MH6 semi automatic Vickers hardness tester.
A corrosion resistant Ni31 Si12/FeNi silicides composite coating was fabricated on substrate of a low carbon steel A3 by laser cladding using the Ni, Si powders. The laser clad silicides composite coating, which is met-allurgically bonded to the steel substrate, has a rapidly solidified microstructure consisting of belt-shaped Ni31 Si12 primary phase and small amount of FeNi/N31Si12 eutectics. The average microhardness of the laser clad silicide alloy coating ranges from HV650 to HV750. The corrosion resistances of the nickel silicides composite coating as the content of alloyed-element Cr in the water solutions of 0. 5mol/l H2SO4 were evaluated utilizing the anodic polarization electrochemical corrosion-test method. Because of the inherent excellent corrosion-resisting properties of the constituting phases of Ni31 Si12 and FeNi, and the rapidly solidified homogeneous microstructure, the laser clad nickel silicides composite coating exhibits excellent corrosion resistance. Meantime it is indicated that the corrosipn resistances of laser clad Ni31Si12/FeNi silicides composite coating are enhanced with the increasing chromium content.
Three kinds of coating were prepared by powder feeding type laser cladding using powders consist of self-smelting Co-base alloy with without WC, and self- smelting Ni-base alloy plus WC. Microstructure and hardness at different temperatures of the samples were studied experimentally. The results show that the three samples differ significantly in structure and property under the same laser processing parameters. For the Ni-type alloy, its hardness decreases markedly at 700℃ with an obvious structural changes while for the Co-type alloys, the occurrence of changes starts only at 700℃ .and the extent of the changes with temperatures are smaller. Also, it has been proved that no prodigious change in the hardness of WC can be observed with the rise of temperature. These conclusions provide important reference for the designing of ami- adhesive wear parts.

Ni-based spontaneous melting alloy powder and Co - based spontaneous melting alloy powder are selected for laser cladding on the mild steel substrate with the fore-put powder and the coaxial powder feeding respectively. Laser power is 2. 0 kW, laser beam spot diameter 2. 0 mm,scanning speed 0. 15-0. 25 m/min. The results show that the microstructure of the coaxial powder feeding laser cladding layer is finer than that of the fore-put powder laser cladding layer (the former 2. 5-4. 0 μm, the latter 5. 0-10. 0 μm) .and thermal shock resistance of the former is better than that of the latter. Obviously, this is very significant because the coaxial powder feeding laser cladding is easy to realize automation and big area cladding.

The CO2 laser quenching treatment was used to study the surface modification of a gear counter. In the present investigation, the two hardening the counter gear approaches were compared by the CO2 laser. It was found that the two approaches of laser quenching were effective to enhance the surface microhardness to HV412 -HV550 . Meanwhile, the microhardness distribution was measured . After the laser heat treatment ,the depth of laser hardening was 1. 0mm, the highest microhardness HV680 was higher HV160 than the common oil quenching. The value of surface roughness before quenching was not found to change with comparison to that after quenching treatment. It is shown that the distortion of surface upon laser quenching was remarkably induced to 2. 5μm. In addition, the microstructure of 3Cr13 stainless steel after laser quenching and high frequency induction quenching was observed. After laser quenching, the fine martensite structure was obtained.
Rapid Laser Forming (RLF) was a new and advanced manufacture technology which has been developed on the base of combining high-power laser cladding technology with rapid prototyping to realize net shape forming of high performance dense metal components without dies. However, such defect as crack, pore, oxidation and ill bonding between cladding layers might appear in RLF parts if the process parameters controlled improperly. And crack was a kind of defect, which was the most familiar and companied with the largest brisance. The forming mechanism of the crack producing in the process of laser forming some alloy powders has been studied deeply in the paper through micro measurement and analysis methods. The results showed that the cracking behavior was different with different cladding materials. For the materials such as nickel-base self-fused alloys the cracking of laser cladding belonged to the cold crack domain. It was the result of synergistic effect of low ductilitv of such a11ovs and thermal stress inducing during laser cladding.On the other hand.for the materials 3S austenite stainless steel etc.the cracking of laser cladding belonged tO the hot crack domain. It was m ainly caused by the separation of the liquid film s in the grain boundary under the effect of thermal stress existed in the cladding which was producing in RIF.
In order to raise the processing efficiency and quality of the larger workpieces, an innovative line scanning selective laser sintering rapid prototyping (SLS RP) process is introduced, differing entirely from the vibrating mirror spot scan. Changing the output beam of CO2 laser into a linear beam by cylindrical lenses, the length of the linear beam on the working plane can be varied from the maximum designed length to a single spot by a zooming unit during scanning. The line width 0. 13mm and variable line length range 0. 13-40mm can be achieved. Laser power and scanning speed are optimized for different line length to sinter the various organic powder materials sufficiently. The processing efficiency and quality of the innovative line scanning system is better than that of the vibrating mirror spot scan for larger workpieces,so the application region of SLS RP technology may be expanded greatly.
In this paper, heat-conduction underwater welding of Type-304 stainless steel with filler wire by using a 4kW Nd: YAG laser was investigated. In underwater welding, the shielding conditions of the local dry cavity have strong influence on the weld bead shape and weld properties. The structure of the nozzle and the gas flow speed are the main factors affecting the stability of the local dry cavity. In specific, appropriate enlarging the outside diameter of the nozzle can obtain perfect shielding condition. If the shielding condition is incomplete, the oxygen content of the weld metal may increase from the normal value of about 80ppm under good shielding condition to800ppm. The increase in oxygen content leads to the severe decrease in the elongation rate and the reduction of area in tensile test, although no variation in tensile strength. Under appropriate shielding condition, the chemical composition and mechanical properties o fthe underwater laser welds can be as same as that in air.
New generation steels have double strength and higher toughness than the normal ferrite steels because of their micrometer or sub-micrometer sized grains. The weldability of the steels is the key for the success of the steels. In this paper SS400 steel is welded by CO2 laser beam and welded joint with higher toughness and strength than the base metal is obtained. When the microstructures of weld metal and coarse-grained HAZ mainly consist of lower bainite the toughness is the highest. When ferrite side plates occur or the microstructures contain high percentage of martensite. the toughness decreases , but is still higher than that of base metal. The hardness of welded joint is lower than Hv330 and there is no softened zone. The welded joint has good bending ductility and its tensile strength is higher than that of base metal.

Laser beam welding was used to join SiCp/6063Al composite and Ti was used as in-situ material. The result showed that weld and HAZ are narrow and no pore can be found in weld. The analysis on microstructure of weld center showed that the grain size of weld matrix is very fine and the grains crystallize as equiax crystal, microstructure of weld is very compact and no obvious micro - gaspore and crack are found. No needlelike reaction product A14C3 is observed in weld, which can produce when SiC particles react with matrix during fusion welding. There are many finer TiC particles which are nearly round and the distribution of the particles is even in weld. The whole welding zone turns to be as follow: the base metal is SiC particles reinforced Al matrix composite and the weld is partial zone in which TiC particles are reinforcement and Ti is matrix. The result showed that A14C3 in weld center is restrained completely with Ti as in - situ' weld - alloying materials during impulsed laser beam welding for SiCp/6063 composition and the intensity of jiont is increased due to rapidly solidified phase such as TiC.
Calculations showed that 5 mJ energy was enough to vaporate materials in a pit of 100μm diameter and 10μm depth. When a laser pulse with duration 600ns and energy 10mJ shoot on the surface of metal, the power density is 108 W/cm2 if it was focused on a region of 100μm diameter. This energy was well enough to evaporate iron within 6. 37ns, while plasma plumb was produced. So it was clear that most of laser energy was absorbed by plasma. It was found that major loss of laser energy was inverse bremsstrahlung absorption by plasma. To lower the e-lectron density of plasma, an unique technique was developed to modified laser waveform. When high repetition frequency pulse laser beam radiated on the roller surface, a number of micro-pits were formed, in which metal was melt and solidified. We say the roller was textured. Experiments showed that the tensile strength σb of laser-textured steel sheet increased 4 - 7% than that of shoot-peening steel sheet, and the yield strength σ0. 2 of laser-textured steel sheet decreased 6— 7 than that of shoot- peening steel sheet,the stretchability艿1O increased 6— 1O .Another advantage of laser— texturing sheet was its good lubricity comparing with shot— peening steel sheet.
With the development of automobile industry, surface roughness of steel sheet for automotive use is one of the most important control items. In this paper, aimed at a new type of roll surface roughness profile (slight protuberance similitude of spherical cap) optimization designed by tribology method, we present a new principle of laser texturing. In the experiment, a pulsed laser beams generated by Nd:YAG laser is adopted to process the roll surface. According to the analysis and investigation of the new principle of laser texturing, the laser parameters are primely selected and matched. Consequently, the surface roughness profile and size have been successfully obtained. Furthermore, we measure and analyze the surface roughness hardness. The results show: the surface roughness has higher hardness rather than matrix. In addition, the influence rules between pulsed laser parameters and main profile parameters of roll have been analyzed and investigated.
