Control of laser-field technological complexes for tool hardening

Abstract

© 2006-2018 Asian Research Publishing Network (ARPN). Specific features formation of hardened layer of metals with unknown curvature under the joint action of laser radiation and an electrostatic field are described. It is shown, that the quality of the technological process of hardening depends on not only the energy characteristics of the hybrid technological complex, the temperature of the surface layer, but also on the accuracy of positioning the focus of laser radiation and its perpendicularity with respect to the surface of the part. The results of the studies show, that the deviation of the laser radiation focus from the surface of the part should not exceed 8-10 μm, and its vertical not more than 1 degree.
