Temperature Field of FeCrNiCu Alloy Forming Layers of Continuous Wave/Pulsed Laser Remanufacture

Abstract

The temperature field of FeCrNiCu alloy forming layers of continuous wave(CW) and pulsed laser remanufacture was analyzed using the non-contact infrared thermometer.The general rule of temperature field distribution of molten pool and heat-affected zone of the two modes was obtained. The pulsed laser process superiority in heat input, forming deformation control and reducing the temperature in molten pool and heat-affected zone was vilidated. The results show that during pulsed laser forming the peak temperature in the heat-affected zone is 730.4-810.5℃,the peak temperature in the molten pool is 998.7-1383.4℃,which are all obviously lower than the same process of the CW mode; the temperature-rise rate and cooling rate of pulsed laser are higher, which is helpful to the forming of fine grain structures and good mechanical performance; the forming experiment also further verifies more narrow heat-affected zone in pulsed laser process.
