Abstract

Through-hole drilling experiments are conducted on nickel-based superalloys GH3536 using femtosecond laser and burst modes of femtosecond laser. The morphology and roughness of the hole wall are studied. Indentation experiments show an increase in microhardness to 10 GPa in the recast layer at the edges of holes at GHz mode and MHz-200 μJ. EDS finds that the increase is attributed to oxidation and the formation of Cr2O3. EBSD and kernel average misorientation (KAM) reveal the laser induced heat-affected-zone (HAZ) at Single-Pulse-200 μJ and GHz-200 μJ. The removal characteristics under four burst modes are compared in single pulse/burst percussion experiment, indicating that the efficient removal of molten material in BiBurst mode accounts for its superior hole wall quality. The BiBurst mode offers significant advantages in terms of enhancing machining efficiency while minimizing material damage, which can extend to various metal materials.
