The 125-fs laser ablation behaviour (800 nm) of aluminium and anodic oxide coatings on an AlMgSi1 alloy was investigated. The multi-pulse ablation threshold of aluminium at 1.2 J cm-2 was less than that of the oxides of 23 J cm-2. Aluminium exhibited a single pulse modification (melting) threshold of 0.3 J cm-2. These values derived from an evaluation of the crater geometry coincided with on-line acoustic measurements. The detected microphone voltage amplitude increased linearly with the laser fluence. The morphology of the ablation craters on aluminium indicated melt formation and displacement of a homogeneous melt phase due to the recoil action of the expanding metal vapour. The laser-processed ceramic oxide phases, on the other hand, showed a spongy resolidified melt layer, which denotes a collocated in-depth formation both of a melt and a gas phase. These phenomena are discussed in terms of the relative dominance of penetration depth of laser light and heat affected zones in the investigated materials with strongly varying optical and thermodynamical properties.
Up to ~ 3 µm thick alumina coatings on corundum ceramic, sodalimesilica glass and Inconel718 were produced from mixtures of boehmite sols and corundum suspensions.
Transmission electron micrographs in combination with electron diffraction and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy served to identify crystallographic phases and to characterize the microstructure of the coatings. Using corundum ceramic as substrate the initially deposited boehmite transforms via transition aluminas to corundum while heating to 1200 °C. In the cases of glass and Inconel718 thermal treatments up to 520 °C and 1100 °C, respectively, cause diffusion of ions from the substrates into the coatings. Thus additional oxide phases were formed.
All coatings are free of cracks or delaminations and do not show any directed crystal growth.
