  • Microstructures and mechanical properties of Zr-based metallic glass ablated by nanosecond pulsed laser in various gas atmospheres

    Y Qian, M Jiang, Z Zhang, H Huang, J Hong, J Yan

    Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 163717 （Journal of Alloys and Compounds)  901 2022.04

    ISSN  09258388

    　View Summary

    The surface with micro-convex prepared by laser ablation is beneficial to improving the functional properties of metallic glasses (MGs). However, accompanied by the formation of micro-convex, surface hardness of the ablated area generally decreases due to the softening effect caused by laser thermal shock. Previous studies have shown that the mechanical properties of laser-ablated MG surface are significantly different when using different gas atmospheres. In this study, a comparative investigation was performed to analyze the influence of gas atmosphere (i.e. argon, nitrogen, and air) on the formation of micro-convex as well as its surface characteristics and mechanical properties. Experimental results showed that the atmosphere type did not affect the formation of micro-convex, but significantly affected the surface morphology and element composition of the laser-ablated area. The element analysis and Raman spectral measurements indicated that laser ablation in nitrogen or air atmosphere resulted in local nitridation or oxidation. The results of nanoindentation tests demonstrated that laser ablation in nitrogen or air atmosphere also resulted in surface hardness inhomogeneity, i.e., softening and hardening effects coexist in the ablated area, which could be attributed to the combined influence of laser thermal shock, the introduction of secondary phase as well as laser ablation induced loose structure.

    　View Summary

    Fresnel micro-lens arrays with close-to-wavelength features have significant advantages in minimization of optical systems. However, in the fabrication of a Fresnel micro-lens array by conventional diamond turning, the discontinuous features of the surface profile cause interference between the tool flank face and the finished surface. In this manuscript, a novel off-spindle-axis diamond turning method is proposed to fabricate Fresnel micro-lens array mold insert and a toolpath generation algorithm is developed. The generation of each lenslet is treated as an independent turning operation, and the whole fabrication of a Fresnel micro-lens array is completed by a succession of repetitive turning operations. With this approach, the interference between the tool and the finished surface is avoided, and the form accuracy and surface integrity are improved for each lenslet. Then, the Fresnel micro-lens array mold insert is further utilized in precision glass molding to replicate the micro-lens structures onto transparent polymer substrates. The experimental results indicate that both the diamond-turned and molded Fresnel micro-lens arrays are achieved with homogeneous quality. As an application, a compact imaging system based on the molded Fresnel micro-lens array is demonstrated. The proposed machining method in this study can be employed in the fabrication of Fresnel micro-lens arrays and other micro-optics with discontinuous profiles with high accuracy and machining efficiency.

  • Development of High-Sensitivity Electrically Conductive Composite Elements by Press Molding of Polymer and Carbon Nanofibers

    　View Summary

    Carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have various excellent properties, such as high tensile strength, electric conductivity and current density resistance, and thus have great application potential in electrical sensor development. In this research, electrically conductive composite elements using CNFs sandwiched by thermoplastic olefin (TPO) substrates were developed by press molding. The metal mold used for press molding was processed by a femtosecond laser to generate laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on the mold surface. The aggregate of CNFs was then flexibly fixed by the LIPSSs imprinted on the TPO substrate surface to produce a wavy conductive path of CNFs. The developed composite elements exhibited a sharp increase in electrical resistance as strain increased. A high gauge factor of over 47 was achieved, which demonstrates high sensitivity against strain when the composite element is used as a strain gauge. Scanning electron microscope observation revealed that the TPO filled the spaces in the aggregate of CNFs after press molding, and the conductive path was extended by the tensile strain. The strain-induced dynamic changes of contact states of CNFs and CNFs networks are discussed based on the electrical performance measurement and cross-sectional observation of the elements. This research provides a new approach to the production of flexible and high sensitivity strain sensors.
