摘要:
针对Kevlar 49/4211芳纶纤维/环氧树脂复合材料的紫外飞秒激光(343 nm,260 fs)加工阈值和形貌特性进行研究。通过面积外延法测算了芳纶纤维增强树脂基复合材料(AFRP)中树脂基体、增强纤维及复合材料整体的激光去除阈值及阈值孵化效应,并预测三者的单脉冲去除阈值;分析入射能量通量与等效入射激光脉冲数量对材料加工边缘质量的影响规律。结果表明:Kevlar 49芳纶纤维的紫外飞秒激光去除阈值和阈值孵化系数在不同脉冲数作用下均低于 4211环氧树脂,AFRP整体的等效去除阈值介于树脂和芳纶纤维之间。选择4211环氧树脂阈值若干倍的入射通量与100个以上等效脉冲数的紫外飞秒激光,采用原位叩击打孔或循环扫描切割的方法,能够获得入口宽度均匀、边缘整齐、材料准均质化去除的加工形貌,从而有效提高航天AFRP产品的加工精度与质量,满足其高性能制造需求。
Abstract:The UV femtosecond laser (343 nm, 260 fs) processing threshold and morphology characteristics of Kevlar 49/4211 aramid fiber/epoxy resin composite materials were studied. The area epitaxy method was used to calculate the laser removal threshold and threshold incubation effect of resin matrix, reinforced fibers, and the overall composite material in aramid fiber reinforced polymer (AFRP). The single pulse removal thresholds of the three were predicted; the impact of incident energy flux and equivalent number of input laser pulses on the quality of material processing edges was examined. The results showed that the UV femtosecond laser removal threshold and threshold incubation coefficient of Kevlar 49 aramid fiber were lower than those of 4211 epoxy resin under different pulse numbers, and the overall equivalent removal threshold of AFRP was between resin and aramid fiber. A processing morphology with uniform inlet width, neat edges, and quasi-homogeneous material removal can be achieved by choosing a UV femtosecond laser with an incident flux several times the threshold of 4211 epoxy resin and more than 100 equivalent pulse numbers and employing in-situ tapping or cyclic scanning cutting techniques. This effectively improves the processing accuracy and quality of aerospace AFRP products and satisfies their high-performance manufacturing needs.
