Laser forming of steel tubes

Abstract

The paper presents a study on microstructure and microhardness changes obtained in the spun carbon steel tube after shaping by a laser beam. The surface of a pipe was machined circumferentially using a 1500 W CO2 laser beam at various diameters (distance from the focus). As a result, plastic deformations such as convex and narrowing shape changes were observed. The conducted research, including microhardness measurements, shows that, in comparison to the unprocessed material, the microstructure was significantly changed, both in the convex and narrowed layer.

Kształtowanie laserowe rur stalowych

Streszczenie

W pracy przedstawiono badania zmian mikrostruktury i mikrotwardości warstwy wierzchniej wyoblonej i przewężonej rury ze stali węglowej po laserowym kształtowaniu. Powierzchnia rury była skanowana po obwodzie wiązką lasera CO2 o mocy 1500 W przy różnych średnicach (odległościach od ogniska). W efekcie uzyskano odkształcenia plastyczne, takie jak wyoblenie i przewężenie rury. Przeprowadzone badania, w tym pomiary mikrotwardości, wykazują, że mikrostruktura uległa istotnej zmianie w stosunku do materiału rodzimego, zarówno w warstwie wyoblonej, jak i przewężonej.
