It was observed that gradient structure was generated in copper. Near the top surface, nanocrystalline with high dense nanotwins have been observed; with the depth increasing, the fraction of the twin boundaries reduces and more heavily dislocated subgrains are observed. It has been demonstrated that CLSP can significantly improve …

Dr. Chang Ye
In this study, laser shock peening (LSP) was utilized to generate localized deformation induced martensite (DIM) in NiTi shape memory alloy. The DIM was investigated by x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy. The effects of temperature and laser intensity on DIM transformation were investigated. It has been found that higher laser intensity and lower processing temperature leads to higher volume fraction of DIM. This is attributed to the increase of the chemical driving force and the increase in the density of potential martensite variant for martensite nucleation at low temperatures. The localized shape memory effect in micrometer scale after low …

Dr. Chang Ye
Warm laser shock peening (WLSP) integrates the advantages of laser shock peening and thermal-mechanical treatment (TMT) to improve material fatigue performance. Compared to traditional laser shock peening (LSP), warm laser shock peening, i.e. LSP at elevated temperature, leads to better performance in many aspects. WLSP can induce nanoscale precipitations by dynamic precipitation and high density dislocation by dynamic strain aging (DSA), resulting in higher surface strength, which is beneficial for fatigue life improvement. Due to pinning of dislocation structure by nanoscale precipitates, and the pinning of dislocation structure by Cottrell atmosphere, or the DSA effect, stability of the dislocation arrangement …

The work-hardened surface layers (3.5 times the original hardness) lead to significant improvement in the mechanical properties as measured by nano-indentation and tensile test. The results demonstrate that UNSM is a powerful surface processing technique that can improve component mechanical properties and performance.

Deformation Behaviors And Critical Parameters In Microscale Laser Dynamic Forming, Huang Gao, Chang Ye, Gary Cheng
Dr. Chang Ye
Microscale laser dynamic forming (μLDF) is a novel microfabrication technique to introduce complex 3D profiles in thin films. This process utilizes pulse laser to generate plasma to induce shockwave pressure into the thin film, which is placed above a microsized mold. The strain rate in μLDF reaches 106–107 S−1. Under these ultrahigh strain rates in microscale, deformation behaviors of materials are very complicated and almost impossible to be measured in situ experimentally. In this paper, a finite element method model is built to simulate the μLDF process. An improved Johnson–Cook model was used to calculate the flow stress, and the …

An Extended Finite Element Method (Xfem) Study On The Effect Of Reinforcing Particles On The Crack Propagation Behavior In A Metal–Matrix Composite, Chang Ye, Jay Shi, Gary Cheng
Dr. Chang Ye
In this paper, the eXtended Finite Element Method (XFEM) was integrated in ABAQUS to simulate crack propagation and to predict the effect of reinforcing particles to the crack propagation behavior of Al2O3/Al6061 composite materials. It has been demonstrated that, higher reinforcing particle volume fraction leads to improved fatigue resistance and smaller particles size is more effective than larger particles at the same particle volume fraction. The underlying mechanisms of these effects are systematically investigated. The stress fields captured by XFEM during the crack propagation help in understanding the crack propagation behavior during cyclic loading.

Deformation-Induced Martensite And Nanotwins By Cryogenic Laser Shock Peening Of Aisi 304 Stainless Steel And The Effects On Mechanical Properties, Chang Ye, Sergey Suslov, Dong Lin, Gary Cheng
Dr. Chang Ye
Laser shock peening (LSP) of stainless steel 304 was carried out at room and cryogenic temperature (liquid nitrogen temperature). It was found that the deformation-induced martensite was generated by LSP only when the laser-generated plasma pressure is sufficiently high. Compared to room temperature laser shock peening (RT-LSP), cryogenic laser shock peening (CLSP) generates a higher volume fraction of martensite at the same laser intensity. This is due to the increase in the density of potential embryos (deformation bands) for martensite nucleation by deformation at cryogenic temperature. In addition, CLSP generates a high density of deformation twins and stacking faults. After …

Magnetic Field Effects On Laser Drilling, Chang Ye, Gary Cheng, Sha Tao, Benxin Wu
Dr. Chang Ye
A magnetic field-assisted laser drilling process has been studied, where nanosecond laser ablation is performed under an external magnetic field. The study shows that the magnetic field-assisted laser drilling process produces deeper drilling depth and generates more confined plasma plume and relative less residual, as compared with laser drilling without magnetic field. This phenomenon has been rarely reported in the literature. The magnetic field effects on laser ablation have been analyzed analytically and a hypothesized explanation has been proposed based on the effect of the magnetic field on the plasma produced during laser ablation.

It has been demonstrated that thermally controllable surface pattern can be generated on NiTi surface through LSADI. Compared to traditional imprinting techniques, LSADI does not require a sharp mold, nor does it involve any heating or etching process. More importantly, it can be used to pattern metals. It is scalable and can be potentially used in …
