文摘The suppression of ablative Rayleigh–Taylor instability(ARTI)by a spatially modulated laser in inertial confinement fusion(ICF)is studied through numerical simulations.The results show that in the acceleration phase of ICF implosion,the growth of ARTI can be suppressed by using a short-wavelength spatially modulated laser.The ARTI growth rate decreases as the wavelength of the spatially modulated laser decreases,and ARTI is completely suppressed after a certain wavelength has been reached.A spatially uniform laser is introduced to keep the state of motion of the implosion fluid consistent,and it is found that the proportion of the spatially modulated laser required for complete suppression of ARTI decreases as the wavelength continues to decrease.We also optimize the spatial intensity distribution of the spatially modulated laser.In addition,as the duration of the spatially modulated laser decreases,the proportion required for completely suppressing ARTI increases,but the required energy decreases.When the perturbation wavenumber decreases,the wavelength of the spatially modulated laser required for complete suppression of ARTI becomes longer.In the case of multimode perturbation,ARTI can also be significantly suppressed by a spatially modulated laser,and the perturbation amplitude can be reduced to less than 10% of that without a spatially modulated laser.We believe that the conclusions drawn from our simulations can provide the basis for new approaches to control ARTI in ICF.

文摘A dual-phase synergistic enhancement method was adopted to strengthen the Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr alloy fabricated by laser powder bed fusion(LPBF)by leveraging the unique advantages of Er and TiB_(2).Spherical powders of 0.5wt%Er-1wt%TiB_(2)/Al-Mn-Mg-Sc-Zr nanocomposite were prepared using vacuum homogenization technique,and the density of samples prepared through the LPBF process reached 99.8%.The strengthening and toughening mechanisms of Er-TiB_(2)were investigated.The results show that Al_(3)Er diffraction peaks are detected by X-ray diffraction analysis,and texture strength decreases according to electron backscatter diffraction results.The added Er and TiB_(2)nano-reinforcing phases act as heterogeneous nucleation sites during the LPBF forming process,hindering grain growth and effectively refining the grains.After incorporating the Er-TiB_(2)dual-phase nano-reinforcing phases,the tensile strength and elongation at break of the LPBF-deposited samples reach 550 MPa and 18.7%,which are 13.4%and 26.4%higher than those of the matrix material,respectively.

文摘To explore the formation mechanism of anisotropy in Ti-6Al-4V alloy fabricated by selective laser melting(SLM),the compressive mechanical properties,microhardness,microstructure,and crystallographic orientation of the alloy across different planes were investigated.The anisotropy of SLM-fabricated Ti-6Al-4V alloys was analyzed,and the electron backscatter diffraction technique was used to investigate the influence of different grain types and orientations on the stress-strain distribution at various scales.Results reveal that in room-temperature compression tests at a strain rate of 10^(-3) s^(-1),both the compressive yield strength and microhardness vary along the deposition direction,indicating a certain degree of mechanical property anisotropy.The alloy exhibits a columnar microstructure;along the deposition direction,the grains appear equiaxed,and they have internal hexagonal close-packed(hcp)α/α'martensitic structure.α'phase has a preferential orientation approximately along the<0001>direction.Anisotropy arises from the high aspect ratio of columnar grains,along with the weak texture of the microstructure and low symmetry of the hcp crystal structure.

文摘Combined pulsed laser(CPL),introduced in 1975 for target damage,integrates different lasers to achieve high peak power and pulse energy.However,despite decades of research,CPL remains unused for long-range target damage due to the challenge of maintaining high peak power density over long distances.We note that a potential solution lies in leveraging the air filament generated by femtosecond laser,which can transmit peak power densities higher than 1014 W/cm^(2)under the power clamping effect.To address this,a concept of a femtosecond laser induced air filament-CW CPL for surface damage of ceramics was introduced.We found no surface changes in ceramic targets when irradiated with a CW laser alone.By way of contrast,the target can be penetrated in a very short time(20 ms)with the assistance of the femtosecond laser induced air filament.In this context,we employ high-speed shadow imaging,cross-timescale simulation models and macro-microscopic characterization,to elucidate the CPL damage mechanism.The optimal CPL,combining a 1 mJ femtosecond laser and a 500 W CW laser,yields a damage rate of 1.51×10^(7)μm^(3)/J,representing an improvement of approximately 175%compared to single femtosecond laser ablation and around 59%enhancement compared to coating-assisted CW laser ablation.Furthermore,the efficacy of the proposed femtosecond-CW CPL method is demonstrated in causing penetration damage of ceramic/metal composite material or direct damage of sapphire,showcasing its versatility in damaging applications.Consequently,the femtosecond-CW CPL ablation method presented in this paper holds great promise as a new type of damage method for transparent hard and brittle materials.

文摘The TiB+TiC dual-reinforced B_(4)C/TC4 composite was in-situ fabricated via incorporating 0.5wt%B_(4)C reinforcement during the laser melting deposition process.Different heat treatments of annealing and solid solution were used to regulate the microstructure,mechanical properties,and corrosion properties of B_(4)C/TC4 composite.Results show that with the increase in temperature from 500℃to 800°C,partial lamellarα-Ti in the as-deposited sample is gradually transformed into equiaxedα-Ti,accompanied by the disappearance of basketweave microstructure.At 1100°C,a small portion of TiC phase suffers fusion.This composite exhibits the optimal combination of strength and plasticity after annealing at 500℃for 4 h followed by furnace cooling,which is attributed to the stress release effect and the refined basketweave microstructure.However,this composite shows a decline in corrosion resistance after various heat treatments due to grain coarsening and micro-galvanic corrosion.

文摘The fatigue crack growth rate of a novel Ti-6Al-4V-1Mo titanium alloy,which is developed for laser directed energy deposition technique,was investigated before and after cyclic heat treatment(CHT).Changes in microstructure,fracture surfaces,and crack growth paths were analyzed before and after CHT.Results indicate that in the stable crack growth region,the growth rates for the as-deposited and cyclic heat-treated specimens follow the relationships da/dN=1.8651×10^(−8)(ΔK)^(3.2271)and da/dN=1.4112×10^(−8)(ΔK)^(3.1125),respectively.Compared with that at the as-deposited state,the microstructure after CHT is transformed from a uniform basket-weave microstructure to a dual-phase microstructure consisting of near-sphericalαandβ-transformed matrix phases.The cyclic process also disrupts the continuity of the grain boundaryα(αGB)at the primaryβ-phase grain boundary.The coarsening of primaryαand the disruption ofαGB continuity are the primary factors to release stress concentration and promote crack deflection,thereby decreasing the fatigue crack growth rate.Additionally,the increased occurrence of crack branching,secondary cracking,and crack bridging in cyclic heat-treated specimens further reduces the crack driving force and slows the fatigue crack growth rate.

文摘Based on the characteristics of laser-induced surface ignition,energetic photosensitive films show promising potential to meet the ignition requirements of various energetic materials(EMs).In this study,DATNBI/ferric alginate(DI/FeA),DI/cobalt alginate(DI/CoA),and DI/nickel alginate(DI/Ni A)films are fabricated by employing sodium alginate(SA)with a three-dimensional network structure as the film matrix,via ionic cross-linking of SA with Fe^(3+),Co^(2+),and Ni^(2+)ions.The study demonstrates that the ionic cross-linking enhances the hydrophobic performance of the films,with the water contact angle increasing from 82.1° to 123.5°.Concurrently,the films'near-infrared(NIR)light absorption improved.Furthermore,transition metal ions facilitate accelerated electron transfer,thereby catalyzing the thermal decomposition of DATNBI.Under 1064 nm laser irradiation,the DI/Fe A film exhibits exceptional combustion performance,with an ignition delay time as low as 76 ms.It successfully acts as an NIR laser ignition medium to initiate the self-sustained combustion of CL-20.This study demonstrates the synergistic realization of enhanced hydrophobicity,improved photosensitivity,and promoted catalytic decomposition through microstructural design of the material,providing new insights for the design of additive-free EMs in laser ignition applications.

文摘Desulfurization of CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles in molten steel was observed in situ using high-temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy.The effects of the aluminum and silicon contents of molten steel on desulfurization were analyzed.When the total aluminum content in the steel increased from 6 to 1100 ppm,the CaS content in CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles increased from 2.1wt%to 84.84wt%after the reaction for 90 s.Furthermore,when the silicon content in the steel increased from 0.01wt%to 2.20wt%,the CaS content in CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles increased from 1.53wt%to 79.01wt%after the reaction for 90 s.This indicates that the increase in the aluminum and silicon contents of the steel promoted the desulfurization of CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles.A kinetic model was established to predict the CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles composition,and the diffusion coefficient of sulfur in CaO–Al_(2)O_(3) particles was 9.375×10^(−10)m^(2)·s^(−1) at 1600℃,which provided a new method for the calculation of diffusion coefficient.

文摘Tellurene,a chiral chain semiconductor with a narrow bandgap and exceptional strain sensitivity,emerges as a pivotal material for tailoring electronic and optoelectronic properties via strain engineering.This study elucidates the fundamental mechanisms of ultrafast laser shock imprinting(LSI)in two-dimensional tellurium(Te),establishing a direct relationship between strain field orientation,mold topology,and anisotropic structural evolution.This is the first demonstration of ultrafast LSI on chiral chain Te unveiling orientation-sensitive dislocation networks.By applying controlled strain fields parallel or transverse to Te’s helical chains,we uncover two distinct deformation regimes.Strain aligned parallel to the chain’s direction induces gliding and rotation governed by weak interchain interactions,preserving covalent intrachain bonds and vibrational modes.In contrast,transverse strain drives shear-mediated multimodal deformations—tensile stretching,compression,and bending—resulting in significant lattice distortions and electronic property modulation.We discovered the critical role of mold topology on deformation:sharp-edged gratings generate localized shear forces surpassing those from homogeneous strain fields via smooth CD molds,triggering dislocation tangle formation,lattice reorientation,and inhomogeneous plastic deformation.Asymmetrical strain configurations enable localized structural transformations while retaining single-crystal integrity in adjacent regions—a balance essential for functional device integration.These insights position LSI as a precision tool for nanoscale strain engineering,capable of sculpting 2D material morphologies without compromising crystallinity.By bridging ultrafast mechanics with chiral chain material science,this work advances the design of strain-tunable devices for next-generation electronics and optoelectronics,while establishing a universal framework for manipulating anisotropic 2D systems under extreme strain rates.This work discovered crystallographic orientation-dependent deformation mechanisms in 2D Te,linking parallel strain to chain gliding and transverse strain to shear-driven multimodal distortion.It demonstrates mold geometry as a critical lever for strain localization and dislocation dynamics,with sharp-edged gratings enabling unprecedented control over lattice reorientation.Crucially,the identification of strain field conditions that reconcile severe plastic deformation with single-crystal retention offers a pathway to functional nanostructure fabrication,redefining LSI’s potential in ultrafast strain engineering of chiral chain materials.

文摘Selective laser melting(SLM),as an additive manufacturing technology,has garnered widespread attention for its capability to fabricate components with complex geometries and to tailor the microstructure and mechanical properties under specific conditions.However,the intrinsic influence mechanism of microstructure formation under non-equilibrium solidification conditions in SLM processes has not been clearly revealed.In the present work,the influence of Al concentration and process parameters on the microstructure forming mechanism of Al_(x)CoCrFeNi HEAs prepared by SLM is investigated by molecular dynamics simulation method.The simulation results show that the difference in Al content significantly affects the microstructure formation of HEAs,including the growth rate and morphology of columnar crystals,stress distribution at grain boundaries,and defect structure.In addition,the results show that increasing the substrate temperature improves the solidification formability,reduces microstructural defects,and helps reduce residual stress in Al_(x)CoCrFeNi HEAs.By analyzing the influence of heat and solute flow in the molten pool on the growth of columnar crystals,it is found that spatial fluctuations in Al concentration during the non-equilibrium solidification process inhibit the high cooling rates induced by steep temperature gradients.These findings promote the understanding of the forming mechanism of microstructure in HEAs prepared by SLM and provide theoretical guidance for designing high-performance SLM-fabricated HEAs.

文摘The latest generation of aero engines has set higher standards for thrust-to-weight ratio and energy conversion efficiency,making it imperative to address the challenge of efficiently and accurately machining film cooling holes.It has been demonstrated that conventional long-pulse lasers are incapable of meeting the elevated quality surface finish requirements for these holes,a consequence of the severe thermal defects.The employment of backside water-assisted laser drilling technology confers a number of distinct advantages in terms of mitigating laser thermal damage,thus representing a highly promising solution to this challenge.However,significant accumulation of bubbles and machining products during the backside water-assisted laser drilling process has been demonstrated to have a detrimental effect on laser transmission and machining stability,thereby reducing machining quality.In order to surmount these challenges,a novel method has been proposed,namely an ultrasonic shock water flow-assisted picosecond laser drilling technique.Numerical models for ultrasonic acoustic streaming and particle tracking for machining product transport have been established to investigate the mechanism.The simulation results demonstrated that the majority of the machining products could rapidly move away from the machining area because of the action of acoustic streaming,thereby avoiding the accumulation of bubbles and products.Subsequent analysis,comparing the process performance in micro-hole machining,confirmed that the ultrasonic field could effectively eliminate bubble and chip accumulation,thus significantly improving micro-hole quality.Furthermore,the impact of ultrasonic and laser parameters on micro-hole quality under varying machining methods was thoroughly investigated.The findings demonstrated that the novel methodology outlined in this study yielded superior-quality micro-holes at elevated ultrasonic and laser power levels,in conjunction with reduced laser frequency and scanning velocity.The taper of the micro-holes produced by the new method was reduced by more than 25%compared with the other conventional methods.

文摘We present the first systematic experimental validation of return-current-driven cylindrical implosion scaling in micrometer-sized Cu and Al wires irradiated by J-class femtosecond laser pulses.Employing XFEL-based imaging with sub-micrometer spatial and femtosecond temporal resolution,supported by hydrodynamic and particle-in-cell simulations,we reveal how return current density depends precisely on wire diameter,material properties,and incident laser energy.We identify deviations from simple theoretical predictions due to geometrically influenced electron escape dynamics.These results refine and confirm the scaling laws essential for predictive modeling in high-energy-density physics and inertial fusion research.

文摘Laser-assisted drilling combined with full-size polycrystalline diamond compact(PDC)bit is considered a feasible solution to enhance the drilling performance of engineering machinery.In this method,determining the optimal collaborative control parameters that support rapid drilling is crucial for improving the combined performance.This study used average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy for quantitative analysis to characterize the efficiencyand economy of combined rock breaking.Given the advantage of the response surface methodology in providing high-precision predictions with limited experimental data,regression models of the average drilling speed,average torque,and total specificenergy were established.The results showed that as the laser power and irradiation time increased,the average drilling speed firstincreased rapidly and then leveled off,while the average torque decreased sharply before decelerating.The total specificenergy initially decreased and then increased,with the combined drilling outperforming conventional mechanical drilling within specific parameter ranges.As the weight on bit increased,both the average torque and total specificenergy first decreased and then increased.With rising rotating speed,the average torque exhibited a trend of initial increase,then decrease,and finalincrease,whereas the total specificenergy increased slowly at firstand then sharply.Both parameters exhibited optimal values at which the average torque and total specific energy remained at minimal levels.For granite combined drilling,the optimal performance was achieved at a laser power of 3000 W,irradiation time of 31 s,the weight on bit of 2.4 kN,and the rotating speed of 97 r/min.
