Effect of laser-induced ultrasound treatment on material structure in laser surface treatment for selective laser melting applications

Abstract: A new mechanism for controlling the microstructure of products in manufacturing processes based on selective laser melting is proposed. The mechanism relies on generation of high-intensity ultrasonic waves in the melt pool by complex intensity-modulated laser irradiation. The experimental study and numerical modeling suggest that this control mechanism is technically feasible and can be effectively integrated into the design of modern selective laser melting machines.

“…Since no changes in the shape of the molten pool were observed, it is assumed that the change in the grain size distribution is caused by the alignment (temporal stabilization) of the velocity field near the solidification front. Based on the performed theoretical and experimental study, one can conclude that the effect of the external alternating field is small in comparison with the effect of laser ultrasonic generation [5]. The EM field dissipates intensively after its interference with the fields generated by eddy currents in the molten pool.…”

“…Laser-beam-generated ultrasound is suitable for various analytical investigations in material sciences. The metal industry uses this technique for measurement and detection of, e.g., grain size, defects, anisotropy, and mechanical properties [55,56], but biomedical applications are in the very early stages [57]. In the early 2000s, the discovery of microwave-induced ultrasonic waves initiated the utilization of thermoacoustic ultrasound generation [58].…”

“…To apply this contact-type technique, implementation problems must be solved, because it is difficult to ensure stable effects on the moving melt pool with its three-dimensional trajectory. Recently, delivering localized ultrasound energy inside the melt pool via intensity-modulated laser irradiation was investigated for in-situ grain refinement 13 . As a proof of concept, the technique was verified on a stainless-steel plate, showing that the intensity-modulated laser can simultaneously perform surface melting and ultrasound generation.…”
