摘要

The water-jet assisted underwater laser cutting processes has relatively low overall efficiency compared to gas assisted laser cutting process due to high convective loss in water-jet from the hot melt layer and scattering loss of laser radiation by the water vapour formed at the laser-workpiece-water interaction region. However, the individual contribution of different losses and their dependency on process parameters are not fully investigated. Therefore, a lumped parameter analytical model for this cutting process has been formulated considering various laser-material-water interaction phenomena, different loss mechanisms and shear force provided by the water-jet, and has been used to predict various output parameters including the maximum cutting speed, cut front temperature, cut kerf and the loss of laser power through different mechanisms as functions of laser power and water-jet speed. The predictions of cutting speed, kerf-width and cut front temperature were validated with the experimental results. The modeling revealed that the scattering in water vapour is the dominant loss mechanism, causing similar to 40-50% of laser power loss. This also predicted that the percentage losses are lower for higher laser powers and lower water-jet speeds. In order to minimize the deleterious effect of vapour, dynamics of its formation due to laser heating and its removal by water-jet was experimentally studied. And, the cutting was done with modulated power laser beam of different pulse on-and off-times to determine the pulse on-time sufficiently short to disallow growth of vapour layer, still cutting be effected and the off-time enough long for water-jet to remove the vapour layer from the interaction zone before next pulse arrives. Compared to CW laser beam the modulated laser beam of same average power yielded higher process efficiency. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
