On the Possibility of Measuring Microstresses in the Surface Layer of Titanium after Exposure to Laser Irradiation
摘要
Abstract
To measure residual elastic stresses in the surface layers of recrystallized commercially pure α-Ti before and after the shock-wave action of a picosecond laser pulse, which leads to nanostructuring of a thin surface layer, a method of correlating images of rectangular cross-section depressions (slots) cut by a focused ion beam in the column of a scanning electron-ion microscope is used. It is suggested that laser treatment helps to relieve residual stresses in the surface layers of the studied sample.
