This work presents a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of pulsed laser ablation (Yb-fiber) on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy substrates for adhesive bonding. The modification of surface morphology and chemistry is assessed by means of SEM, XRD and wettability measurements. In addition, surface and subsurface mechanical properties are probed through an extensive series of instrumented indentation tests. Based on the results of the aforementioned analyses, a suitable processing window is identified and adhesive bonded T-peel joints are fabricated and tested. The obtained results indicate that pulsed laser irradiation can substantially improve the performance of Ti6Al4V/epoxy joints.

Abstract

This work presents a comprehensive experimental study on the effect of pulsed laser ablation (Yb-fiber) on Ti6Al4V titanium alloy substrates for adhesive bonding. The modification of surface morphology and chemistry is assessed by means of SEM, XRD and wettability measurements. In addition, surface and subsurface mechanical properties are probed through an extensive series of instrumented indentation tests. Based on the results of the aforementioned analyses, a suitable processing window is identified and adhesive bonded T-peel joints are fabricated and tested. The obtained results indicate that pulsed laser irradiation can substantially improve the performance of Ti6Al4V/epoxy joints.
