Abstract

Laser beam machining of various materials has found wide applications in the industry due to its advantages of high-speed machining, no tool wear and no vibration, precision and accuracy, low cost of machining, etc. Investigations into the laser beam machining of uncommon alloy are still limited and more research is needed in this field. In this paper, an analysis of the laser beam machining of tungsten alloy was performed, for cutting and drilling machining processes. First, an experimental analysis of microhardness and microstructure on the laser-cut samples was performed, and then the numerical simulation of the laser beam drilling process and its experimental validation was carried out. The experiments were carried out on a tungsten alloy plate of two different thicknesses, 0.5 and 1 mm. No significant changes in the microhardness, nor in the microstructure characteristics in the heat-affected zone (HAZ), were observed for the cutting conditions considered. A two-dimensional axisymmetric mathematical model for the simulation of the laser beam drilling process is solved by a finite volume method. The model was validated by comparing numerical and experimental results in terms of the size of HAZ and the size and shape of the drilled hole. Experimental and numerical results showed that HAZ is larger in the 0.5-mm-thick plate than in the 1-mm-thick plate under the same drilling conditions. Good agreement was observed between the experimental and numerical results. The developed model improves the understanding of the physical phenomena of laser beam machining and allows the optimization of laser and process parameters.
