Abstract:
TC4 titanium alloy has a series of advantages such as excellent corrosion resistance, low density, high specific strength, good toughness and weldability, and plays an increasingly important role in the aerospace field. Based on the finite element analysis method, the temperature field of TC4 titanium alloy disc was numerically calculated by using the heat conduction equation. Based on the analysis of the working characteristics of metal materials processed by pulsed laser, a thermal model that conforms to the actual processing characteristics is established, and the influence of the temperature field of TC4 titanium alloy with laser power, spot radius and laser pulse width is numerically analyzed. The results show that if the central laser wavelength is
1064 nm, the laser power is 2 kW, the spot radius is 2 mm, the laser pulse width is 8 ms, the pulse repetition rate is 1 kHz, the diameter is 5.0 cm, and the thickness of 5 mm is TC4 titanium alloy, the peak temperature rise is
1209.80 K in 50 ms. Under the same conditions, when the spot radii are 1.5 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.5 mm and 5 mm, respectively, the highest thermal deformation of the end face of titanium alloy is 30.033 μm. The research results will provide a theoretical basis for laser processing of titanium alloys and accurate setting of laser processing parameters
