In order to explore the mechanism of interaction between nanosecond pulsed intense laser and material, the paper established a two-dimensional numerical model, using finite difference method to numerically simulate the temperature field of nanosecond laser pulse ablation of metal aluminium. By comparing different pulse widths, the temperature field caused by the laser under the spot and energy evolves with time. It is found that the temperature in the early stage of the pulse rises faster than in the later stage. The isotherm diagram shows that the centre temperature rises fastest, the ablation profile is similar to the shape of the laser beam, and the ablation depth reaches 1 -5μm. The longer the pulse width, the narrower and deeper the ablation, the larger the spot, the wider and the shallower the ablation. The calculation results show that, compared to the uniform distribution, when the laser has a Gaussian distribution, the target aluminium centre can be obtained the higher the temperature rise, the more prone to ablation and the shorter the melting time of aluminium. The model established in this paper can be easily extended to three-dimensional situations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
