  • Patent number: 12179286
    Abstract: A method of strengthening through real-time coupling of electrical pulses and laser shock waves is provided. The initial time and duration of the electrical pulses are controlled to be matched with the initial time and duration of the laser shock waves, so that the electrical pulses and the laser shock waves are coupled in real time for material strengthening, the plasticity and the strength of the material are greatly improved, and a large area of the workpiece is uniformly strengthened. By simultaneously introducing the electrical pulses into the pulse current-assisted LSP, a great strengthening effect is achieved through the combination of the electrical pulses and the pulse current-assisted LSP in a short time, thereby reducing the internal defects of the material to a certain extent and further increasing the fatigue life of the material.

  • Patent number: 12097559
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an eccentric extreme high-speed-rate laser hybrid manufacturing method for a rotary engineering component. By positioning an extreme high-speed-rate laser direct energy deposition machining head at a predetermined eccentric distance, the damage caused by reflected light to the machining head is effectively reduced, to prolong a service life of the machining head. Also a conventional form of a molten pool in extreme high-speed-rate laser direct energy deposition can be changed, namely from a “falling” form caused by a high-speed movement and a gravity to a “climbing” form. Thus, in extreme high-speed-rate laser direct energy deposition machining, the molten pool has a longer time to fully contact a surface of the rotary engineering component to form desirable bonding performance.

  • Patent number: 10640844
    Abstract: A method for laser shock peening (LSP) to uniformly strengthen metallic components uses varied square-spot LSP with stagger multiple-layer. Each layer is subjected to square-spot LSP treatment, without overlapping. The length of square-spot in the first layer is larger than those in the second layer and third layers, and the length of square-spot in the second layer is equal to that in the third layer. The first layer treated by LSP is used to reduce deeper localized compressive residual stress, and the second and third layers imparted by square-spot LSP with staggered distance are used to eliminate of the boundary effect and decrease surface roughness.
