    摘要: A novel hybrid laser additive manufacturing process based on laser shock modulation of molten pool was proposed in this work. The flow behavior residual stress, and microstructure of the molten pool were comprehensively characterized by a combination of experiments and simulations. The relationship between the convection behavior, evolution of microstructure, and enhancement of residual stress induced by laser shock modulation was established. Laser shock modulation assisted additive manufacturing process exhibits high efficiency in residual stress control. The hidden mechanism in microstructure evolution and residual stress enhancement was expected to be related to intensified molten pool convection, uniform solute distribution and improved cooling rate induced by shock wave. The hybrid additive manufacturing process strategy based on laser shock modulation provides a new approach for heat and mass modulation in hybrid manufacturing.

    摘要: With growing interest in Laser Additive Manufacturing (LAM) of High-entropy alloys (HEAs) during most recent years, the design of compositional elements and process strategies are primary methods to overcome undesirable microstructures and defects. Here we propose a new approach, a novel real-time Laser Shocking of Melt Pool (LSMP), to obtain melt pool modifications for yielding HEAs with desired characteristics. LSMP utilizes a pulsed laser shocking a liquid melt pool caused by a continuous wave laser, enabling non-destructive and real-time modulations for high-performance HEAs. The numerical simulation reveals the convection mechanism of the melt pool in the LSMP process, and the intervention of the pulsed laser promotes melt pool flow type to convert the Marangoni effect into a multi-convective ring, which accelerates melt pool flow and inhibits columnar crystal growth. Experimental results show the evolution law of the microstructure in the LSMP process. The microstructure of CrFeCoNi HEAs undergoes a Columnar-Equiaxed Transition (CET), and higher hardness is obtained. Laser shock is demonstrated to be an effective in-situ modulative tool for controlled additive manufacturing.

    摘要: For crystalline materials with long-range orders, the phonon modes involved in the phonon-assisted radiation process are generally involving one or several phonons with specific vibration frequencies 1-4. In some glassy material, the phonon modes broaden in a short range 5-7. However, the locally distinct chemical environments or mass disorder in high-entropy systems can induce an anharmonic phonon-phonon coupling and composition disorder, which leads to significant phonon broadening 8,9.The terminology of high-entropy comes from the high configuration entropy larger than 1.5R (R is the gas constant), which results from randomly distributed multiple nearly equal components in a crystal lattice 10,11. Inspired by the high-entropy strategy, we deployed a high-entropy glass system (HEGS) doped with neodymium ions, which exhibits a complex structure with tetrahedral voids filled by different ions, including, Li+, Zn2+, Si4+, P5+, S6+, etc. Phonon spectral broadening up to thousands of wavenumbers in the HEGS allows strong wide-band absorption in both the near-infrared and mid-infrared ranges and assists the system radiation, i.e., broadened phonon-assisted wide-band radiation (BPAWR). The subsequent low-threshold self-absorption coherence modulation (SACM) was also observed in the HEGS, modulated by changing excitation wavelengths, sample size, and doping concentrations. The time delay of the BPAWR signal is up to 1.66 ns relative to the zero-delay signal, while the time delay of the Raman process is typically in the order of fs to ps, rarely up to 10 ps 12-15.The BPAWR-SACM can be applied to realize signal amplification of the centered non-absorption band when dual-wavelength lasers pump the HEGS sample, and signal amplification can be up to 26.02 dB. The spectral characteristics of the BPAWR and the dynamics of the energy distribution of the excited species are investigated in detail.
