Abstract:
In order to explain the relationship among the powder feeding rate,scanning speed and the qualities of the clad coatings,the concepts of the specific energy input Er and the specific energy Eh formulated by L.C.Lim have been introduced with their experimental measuring methods which have been proved be successful.Based on metallographical measurement,the equations expressing the relationship between the specific energy input Er,the specific energy Eh and the parameters of the laser coated layer and the processing parameters has been derived.The factors effecting the specific energy input Er and the specific energy Eh have been studied carefully.When the powder feeding rate vf and scanning speed vs increase,the specific energy Er and the specific energy Eh decrease under definite laser power P and beam spot dimension.A reasonable explanation why a minimum is observed in the relationship between the scanning speed and the specific energy Er is presented.In the meantime,it is the theoretical foundation for further study the microstructure,mechanism of solidification and processing parameters.

Abstract:
Laser clad Ni based alloy coating with 20%(vol%)SiC(NiSiC) on 16Mn steel substrate has been obtained by 5kW CO2 continuous wave laser implement. Microstructure morphology and phase structure of the laser clad alloy coating have been studied,and microhardness and the performance of sliding wear test of the coating have been discussed in contrast to laser clad Ni-based alloy coating(Ni60). The result shows that the microstructure of laser clad alloy coating is consisted of γ dendrite solid solution and the eutectic structure between the dendrites. Constituent phases of the coating mainly have γ-Ni,γ-(Fe,Ni),(Cr,Fe)7C33,Cr23C6 and (Cr,Si)3Ni3Si. Microhardness and sliding wear resistance of the NiSiC coating are higher than that of the Ni60 coating.

Abstract:
Nd:YAG laser alloying Ni-Ti with pre placed coating on specific cylinder bore gray cast iron was investigated and smooth surface alloyed layers were available.This kind of laser alloying cast iron was quite sensitive to cracking.Crack free alloyed layers were possible with appropriate coating thickness,alloying parameters and preheating.The alloyed layer consists of alloyed zone,remelting zone and quenching zone,whose micro hardness is increased dramatically.The main microstructure of the alloyed layer is the hypoeutectic sub-stable structure.

Abstract:
A CO2 continuous wave laser with defocused beam is used for laser remelting (LR) the surface of plasma sprayed (PS) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) on GH536 superalloy substrate. The thermal shock tests are conducted to both PS samples and LR samples. With the different failure criterions,the mechanism of failure is discussed. It is indicated that the higher laser energy input is harmful for thermal shock lifetime of LR TBCs. The thin remelted thickness and improved laser beam quality are suggested for laser plasma compound preparation of TBCs.

Abstract:
Coupled with the 3-beam laser Doppler anemometry(LDA),the amendment of the measuring parameters in different media was discussed in theory. And the amendatory formulas were achieved. With the formulas,the parameters both in air and in water were obtained and compared. The result proved the amendment of the parameters was correct and necessary. The mean velocities were gained individually in the reduction fluid by LDA and flowmeter. By comparing the two results,it proved the LDA was trustiness.

Abstract:
Ca4GdO(BO3)3(GdCOB) is a new self frequency doubling(SFD) crystal. Using xenon lamp as pump sources,we have realized the free run from 1061nm to 530.5nm in SFD Cr:Nd:GdCOB(bi-doped) crystal and Nd:GdCOB(uni doped) crystal.The threshold energies for uni doped crystal and bi doped crystal are 1.0J and 0.92J,respectively;and the maximum output energies of green laser for two kinds of crystals are 1.96mJ and 2.46mJ,respectively. By using pulsed dye laser as pump source,we have obtained SFD red laser at 655nm and its fundamental frequency laser at 1331nm as well as achieved SFD green laser at 530.5nm from a Nd:GdCOB crystal.

Abstract:
The effect of CeO2 on the macro quality,microstructure and micro hardness of Ni/WC cladding layer has been studied.The results indicate that incorporation of CeO2 can greatly refine the microstructure,reduce the crack tendency and improve the micro quality of the Ni/WC cladding layer.The refine effect becomes more evident with increasing CeO2 content.When CeO2 content is increased to 0.16wt%,the micro hardness reaches its maximum of ca.900HV0.3~1300HV0.3 and cracks vanish.Laser power affects the macro quality,microstructure and micro hardness of the cladding layer also.A continuous and smooth layer cannot be obtained if the laser power is lower than 1.5kW,while large crystal particles appears in the cladding layer and the corresponding hardness obviously if the laser power is higher than 2.0kW.

Abstract:
Higher order cosh Gaussian beams was defined as a higher-order-cosh function multiplied by a Gaussian function which may be solutions of the paraxial wave equation for propagation in complex optical systems. The beams can be obtained through coherent combinations of decentred Gaussian beams or cosh-Gaussian beams. And the propagation feature of the beams in free space is also investigated. It is found that the intensity distribution may be flattened.

Abstract:
When a Brillouin-shifted signal interacts with two strong counterpropagating pump beams in a Brillouin active medium,a conjugate field will grow exponentially in time until it depletes the power of the pump beams. This technique can be used to conjugate very weak signals or alternatively a large fraction of the pump power can be transferred into the conjugate beam.
