    In this paper, microstructured and nanostructured Al2O3-13wt.%TiO2 coatings were prepared on Ti-6Al-4V alloys by plasma spraying and laser remelting. Optical metallographic microscopy (OM), scanning electric microscopy (SEM) and micro-hardness test methods were used to investigate the effects of laser remelting on the microstructure and properties of the coatings. The test results show that the pores and lamella defects of the as-sprayed coatings were eliminated to obtain smooth and dense coatings after laser remelting, and a good metallurgical bonding was formed between the laser-remelted coatings and the substrates. After laser remelting, the average Vickers hardness values of the laser-remelted microstructured and nanostructured Al2O3-13wt.%TiO2 coatings were increased from 803 HV0.3 and 846 HV0.3 to 1 111 HV0.3and 1 451 HV0.3.

    In order to study the variation of the microstructure and properties of laser cladding alloy layer under the conditions of high temperature heat treatment .Laser cladding of Ni60 and Ni60+25%WC alloy coating on Q235 steel was achieved by using a continuous fiber lasers named YLS-4000. And made heat treatment on the two cladding samples by 600 ℃ and 10 h insulation by SXL-1030 programmable box furnace. The microstructure and properties of cladding samples was carried out by means of metallographic, SEM, XRD, high-temperature friction and wear equipment and micro-hardness equipment. The results show that Ni60 alloy layer microstructure dense needle-like crystals and dendrites. After high-temperature heat treatment, the crystal grains grow larger granular and the micro-hardness and wear resistance of Ni60 alloy layer slightly decline which exhibits good resistance to high temperature wear resistance; Ni60+25%WC alloy layer has WC grains. . After high-temperature heat treatment, the WC grains distribute more uniformly which leads to the wear resistance and micro-hardness of Ni60+25%WC alloy layer improve.

    In this study, using dispersed phase model in ANSYS FLUENT 12.0, the gas-solid two-phase flow field of the developed new type of laser coaxial inside-beam composite powder and wire feeding is three-dimensionally numerically simulated. The effects on the flow field from inlet pressure of shielding gas and the carrier gas flow rate are analyzed. The simulation results indicate that during the coaxial inside-beam powder and wire feeding laser cladding, peripheral shielding gas has very good concentration and collimation effects on the powder beam. The higher the inlet pressure of shielding gas is, the better the powder beam is concentrated. However, too high carrier gas flow rate leads to an enlarged divergence angle of the powder grain flow which is a little far from the composite nozzle.

    7050 aluminum alloy fastener holes were strengthened by laser shock peening with Nd: glass pulse laser and pulse duration 30ns. The means of hardening fastener holes were laser shock peening on the dog-bone fatigue specimens before drilling fastener hole on the center of shocked areas, then fatigue testing was carried out under random loading spectrum of plane. The data of experiments show that: the fatigue life of fastener hole on specimens via laser shock peening is 1.5 times higher than those without peening, and the fractures show multiple fatigue crack sources is located under the surface. The density of dislocation in treated surface case is much higher than base material, because of the ultra-high plastic strain during laser shock peening. Distribution of compressive residual stress, relative low degree of cold work and high-density dislocation are conducive to fatigue performance. The results of study show that the laser shock peening can effectively improve the fatigue life of small-size fastener hole.

    In order to study the effect of laser shock processing (LSP) on valve spring based on shot peening (SP) and heat setting, the valve spring manufactured by different processes were treated by LSP with high power Nd∶YAG laser. The effects of valve spring on mechanical properties after LSP were analyzed from residual stress, micro-hardness and microstructure. The results indicate that the effect on valve spring after LSP is similar to that after SP. The strengthening effect of valve spring by LSP based on SP is obvious. After LSP, the residual stress of valve spring based on shot peening twice reaches maximum value -541MPa and the micro-hardness of valve spring surface based on shot peening twice and heat setting reaches maximum value 668.4 HV. The variation of micro-hardness on valve spring surfaces manufactured by different processes after LSP is mostly identical to that before LSP. The grain refinement occurs after LSP and the primary cause of improving micro-hardness is grain size and strengthening phase.

    This paper provided both the simulation and experiment results of the laser shock adjust surface residual stress (principal stress) state. Based on ABAQUS, we established the finite element analysis model of laser impinging on 5b05 aluminum alloy, and studied the relationship between different laser shock parameters and alloy’s surface residual stress state. The simulation results show that with the increase of the number of shocks the surface residual stress rise gradually. When the number of shocks is 3, the residual stress did not rise obviously. This indicates that the surface residual stress is becoming saturated. When shock pressure is constant, the surface residual stress rise with spot diameter, when the Radius of light spot increased to a certain degree the growing rate of surface peak residual compressive stress could reach minimum and stay almost constant. Compare the results of experiment and simulation we found that although the experimental value and the simulation results has certain error, the trend is almost the same, this illustrate that the model we have established is available.

    During the pulse laser discrete scratching process, laser shock wave dynamic loading and interface failure are completed instantly. It contains debond, crack extension, warping, fracture and peeling which are often unable to distinguish. In order to accurately determine the critical point of the coating failure and propose a strain method to dialysis film-substrate system failure, this paper researched dynamic strain on coating surface of different theoretical models under pulse laser processing using PVDF patch sensors. The theoretical models are composed by double-sided adhesive binder, 2024 aluminum alloy substrate and 304 stainless steel foil film. The results indicate that under laser shock processing the dynamic strain on the coating surface fluctuates constantly, and then tends to steady. The whole process is finished in microseconds. The dynamic response of the coating surface is associated with interface bonding status of film-substrate system. When the film-substrate system combined well, the dynamic response's duration is long and the final strain value is small. When the film-substrate system debonded completely, the duration of the dynamic response is short and the obtained strain value is big. If the film- substrate system just began to debond, the situation will between this two pole conditions.

    In the experiment, we use pulsed laser to conduct discrete scratching on Ni-containing stainless steel protective coating, and measured residual stress of the area, which discrete scratched by laser ,by the X350A ray diffraction system. We studied the residual stress status and analyzed the effects of laser shock waves stress on interfacial binding strength of film coating. The results show that in the center region of coating by laser loaded produced a uniform residual compressive stress, however, compressive residual stress decreases sharply even lead to surface tensile residual stress at the edge of the region. The study also indicates that the value of the residual compressive stress of coating, discrete scratching by laser, increase with increasing power density of laser. However, when the power density of laser is near to the threshold value, the residual compressive stress has decreased because the film begin to crack initiation and de-bonding. When the laser energy density is large enough, the strong shock waves can lead to tensile stress, crazed and broken of interface between Ni-containing and substrate at the spot edge of the region.

    In order to investigate the melting mechanism between CO2 laser and Polyamide materials, the melting experiment of PA 12 was carried out by low-power CO2 laser with static or scanning way under room temperature, and the morphology of melted samples have been examined by means of light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray Diffraction (XRD), meanwhile, the effect of laser irradiation method and process parameters to melting samples was analyzed. It can be seen that the melting of sample was not obvious with beam 2 mm and power < 1 W, while experimental samples were got pyrogenic ablation with laser power >3 W during irradiating, so power intensity 0.32 W/mm2 is the sample melting threshold. The surface of samples can be melted by static irradiation, while melting depth of samples will increase with the increased laser power and scanning times, and the crystalline of melted samples have obviously improved after irradiation. The results of experiment were in good agreement with theoretical research, which will provide guidance for Polyamide materials micro-processing by CO2 laser.
