Abstract
In this paper, a theoretical model for laser cleaning of aluminium alloy oxide film is presented from the perspective of thermal stress. Additionally, we developed a two-dimensional axisymmetric finite element model for calculation. Thermal stresses result from thermal expansion. Using thermodynamic equations, numerical calculations enable the determination of a theoretical cleaning threshold by comparing the thermal stresses to the adhesion between the oxide film and the substrate. Through theory and experiments, it is known that the greater the laser fluence, the better is the cleaning effect. The findings indicate that cleaning of the oxide film on aluminum alloys can be achieved under appropriate parameters. The cleaning threshold for laser cleaning of the oxide film is determined to be 3629.47J/cm2 (continuous laser fluence is 3628.73J/cm2; nanosecond laser fluence is 0.74J/cm2). The thermal stress model of laser cleaning is highly useful for selecting the appropriate laser flux in practical applications. Both a simulation and experimental results can provide an explanation for the mechanism of interaction between the laser and the aluminum alloy oxide film, demonstrating that thermal stress is one of the cleaning mechanisms during the laser cleaning process of the oxide film.
