Laser Shock Peening of Ceramics using Litron Lasers

The video filmed at University of Chester Laser Engineering and Manufacturing Research Group, UK in conjunction with Dr. Pratik Shukla shows the effect of laser shock peening of advanced ceramics. Notoriously hard and brittle, ceramic parts are difficult to process, they are also very susceptible to cracking. Laser Peening can, when applied correctly, act as a remedial process, which can change the microstructure of the ceramic, increasing the hardness and the plane strain fracture toughness, and thus increasing the material strength and longevity. To carry out these tests The University of Chester is using an Ultra High Energy Pulsed Q-switched Nd:YAG laser from Litron Lasers Ltd, Rugby UK. The LPY10J is ideal for Laser Peening as it produces a highly stable 10J of pulse energy at 1064nm at a frequency of 5Hz. with a 'Top Hat' beam diameter of 25mm. In addition, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Harmonics can be switched in and out as required, so the effects of differing wavelengths can be observed on each material being tested. The industrial platform that Litron Lasers use gives full flexibility and various different options to the user combined with a reliable robust design.
