Abstract:

Surface alloying of aluminium with nickel was carried out using a pulsed Nd–YAG laser. The effect of beam interaction time on laser alloying of aluminium with pulsed Nd–YAG laser has been studied. It was found that the beam interaction time of a pulsed laser has a significant effect on microstructure and properties of alloyed layers. The results indicated that with changes in the beam diameter, higher thickness of alloyed layer and higher microhardness are both obtained at a lower effective interaction time. When travel speed changes, the same conditions are obtained at a higher effective interaction time.
