Nanosecond laser cleaning effectively removes oxide film and dirt from the surface of aluminum body parts for rail transit, as well as improving surface properties. The effect of laser cleaning on the quality of weld was studied in detail for different scanning frequencies and cleaning speeds. The effect of post-weld laser cleaning on weld quality was investigated. After laser cleaning at different parameters, the surface oxygen content was decreased and the surface roughness and surface hardness were increased. Variation of surface oxygen content was related to energy density and spot density. The lowest oxygen content was obtained at 150 W, 100 Hz and 0.8 m/min. Laser-generated craters changed surface morphology and improved surface roughness. The mechanical properties of the welded joints were slightly improved, which relates to a decrease in porosity. The minimum porosity of the laser-cleaned weld was 0.021%. This work provides new ideas for the nanosecond laser cleaning of aluminum alloy and its welding properties.
纳秒激光清洗能有效去除轨道交通铝制车身部件表面的氧化膜和污垢,同时改善表面性能。针对不同的扫描频率和清洗速度,详细研究了激光清洗对焊接质量的影响。研究了焊后激光清洗对焊接质量的影响。在不同参数下进行激光清洗后,表面氧含量降低,表面粗糙度和表面硬度增加。表面氧含量的变化与能量密度和光斑密度有关。在150W、100Hz和0.8m/min时获得最低氧含量。激光产生的凹坑改变了表面形貌并提高了表面粗糙度。焊接接头的力学性能略有改善,这与孔隙率的降低有关。激光清洗焊缝的最小孔隙率为0.021%。这项工作为铝合金的纳秒激光清洗及其焊接性能提供了新思路。
