Abstract

A practical method is proposed to control the direction of crack propagation and to generate a crack-growth-proof (CGP) zone on a metal plate using laser induced line patterns: heat treatment and cladding. To evaluate the effect on crack propagation by the line patterns, we fabricated and tested diverse line-pattern shapes on a thin SUS316 plate of 1 mm thickness, such as single vertical line; one, three, and five horizontal lines; one and three 45ºtilted lines; X-shaped lines; and rectangular box lines by both laser heat treatment and cladding process. For description of metallurgical change via the pattern and its effect on the crack growth, we did a microstructural analysis of the treated SUS316 specimen. For example, ultimate tensile stress (σu) and fracture strain changed according to the pattern shapes. A specimen treatiing a rectangular line pattern of 4×20 mm showed an increase of σu to about 8.8 %, and fracture strain also increased by 10 % compared to that of a SUS316 plate. Through this work, we verified that the CGP zone could be controlled on a thin metal plate using the proposed method for protection of highly valuable mechanical parts mounted on it.

Surface treatment technologies have been developed and applied to obtain high level characteristics such as wear-proof, corrosion-proof, higher strength, and others in diverse industrial fields [1]. Generally, cracks are formed and propagated on thin metal plates when an external force is overloaded, which could cause further damage to expensive mechanical parts mounted on the plate [2]. For these reasons, there is a great n
