چکیده
This work investigates phase change phenomena due to high power pulsed laser irradiation. During high power laser heating, the intense radiation flux from the laser is transformed to the target material and raises the temperature of the target surface rapidly. When the laser fluence is high enough, melting and superheating of liquid are possible. At even higher laser fluences, the superheated liquid undergoes a phase explosion that turns the liquid into a mixture of liquid and vapor. In this paper, we describe theoretical, numerical and experimental studies of the materials’ response under nanosecond pulsed excimer laser irradiation. Experiments are performed in a laser fluence range between 2.5 and 10 J/cm (between 100 and 400 MW/cm) on nickel specimens. The velocity of the laser-evaporated vapor, absorption of the laser energy by the laser-evaporated vapor, the threshold laser fluence for phase explosion, and the pressure and temperature at the target surface are determined. Results of these studies reveal phase change mechanisms during high power laser interaction with metal. © 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Reconstituted nanostructured powders were plasma sprayed using various processing conditions to produce nanostructured alumina–titania coatings. Properties of the nanostructured coatings were related to processing conditions through a critical plasma spray parameter (CPSP) that in turn, can be related to the amount of unmelted powder incorporated into the final coating. Those coatings that reta...

Under certain conditions, hydrogen can degrade the mechanical properties and fracture behavior of most structural alloys; however, it also has some positive effects in metals. Several current and potential applications of hydrogen for enhancing the production and processing of materials are reviewed. These include thermohydrogen processing (THP) and forming of refractory alloys, processing of r...

Creep experiments were performed on dispersion-strengthened-cast magnesium (DSC-Mg), consisting of unalloyed magnesium with 1 mm grain size containing 30 vol.% of 0.33 mm yttria particles. Strain rates were measured for temperatures between 573 and 723 K at compressive stresses between 7 and 125 MPa. DSC-Mg exhibits outstanding creep strength as compared with other magnesium materials, but is l...
