Abstract
Due to the excellent properties of high hardness, oxidation resistance and high temperature resistance, silicon carbide fiber silicon carbide ceramic matrix composite (CMC-SiC f /SiC) is a typical difficult-to-process material, and is a high-performance advanced material in the aerospace field. In this paper, two groups of ablation experiments (experiment 1 and experiment 2) were performed on CMC-SiC f /SiC using a dual-beam coupling nanosecond laser, and the ablation morphology was observed by confocal laser microscope. The dual-beam coupling angle of experiment 2 is obtained by experimental method. And through the method of calculation, we get the dual-beam coupling angle of experiment 1 and experiment 2. According to the dual-beam coupling ablation mechanism, based on the theoretical calculation model of non-destructive method D 2 -ln P 0 , combined with the Equivalent Diameter Calculation Method (EDCM) and Equivalent Area Calculation Method (EACM), the laser ablation threshold corresponding to different beam waist size was calculated and compared. The results show that the ablation region of CMC-SiC f /SiC surface can be divided into three parts: ablation boundary, recast layer area and SiO 2 coverage area. When the pulse energy increases gradually from 300 μJ to 1500 μJ, the variation trend of hole depth is first increase, second decrease, increase again, and finally decrease. The angle between two laser beams affects the waist radius, which in turn affect the laser ablation threshold. The waist of the dual-beam coupling is elliptical, and the orifice of the ablation hole is elliptical. When the waist radius of nanosecond laser is 57 μm, the laser ablation threshold is calculated to be 3.12 J/cm 2 . The main factors affecting the laser ablation threshold are laser pulse repetition frequency ( f ), beam waist radius ( ω 0 ), laser pulse width ( τ ), minimum laser power ( P th ), and laser wavelength ( λ ).
