Features of laser drilling of porous aluminosilicate ceramics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 November 2020
Abstract
Studies have shown that local laser heating/“drilling” of composite large-porous ceramics consisting of aluminosilicates and glass phase is based on melting and ablation processes that lead to the formation of holes in a porous specimen. The interaction of the components of the composite in the high-temperature heating zone is accompanied by the formation of glass-phase melt of new composition. The advance of the melt deep into the sample along channel-like pores of the main ceramic material depends on the viscosity of the melt (i.e., the irradiation mode) and the cooling rate of the melt (i.e., the thermo-physical properties of the ceramics and glass phase). The development of gas-dynamic impact in the laser heating zone leads not only to the ejection of a part of the melt from the channel, but also to the compaction of the ceramics adjacent to the walls of the vitrified channel. These effects depend heavily on the ceramic-to-glass phase ratio and the porosity of the initial ceramic. It has been established that “laser perforation” of highly porous aluminosilicate ceramics leads to the hardening of the coarse-porous ceramics due to the formation of holes with strong walls, consisting of layers of the glass phase and compacted ceramics in the sample.
