Abstract
- • Laser welding of TC4 to CFRTP was assisted by surficial micro-arc oxidation and mirco-texture. • Micro-arc oxidation and mirco-texture improved wettability of CFRTP on Ti surface. • Support Vector Regression model was adopted to optimize welding parameters. Laser texturing and MAO (micro-arc oxidation) hybrid process was adopted to enhance the tensile-shear strength of laser welded CFRTP/TC4 joint. Introduction of porous MAO coating enhanced wetting ability of molten peek from CFRTP and increased surface roughness. Porous structure could also provide a mechanical interlocking effect in CFRTP/TC4 interface and improve the resistance to tensile-shear load. Highest tensile-shear force of 1587 N was obtained when 2.3 μm MAO coating was prepared. Based on this, influence of various laser texturing patterns with different MAO coating thickness on the tensile-shear forces was clarified by combination of experiment and reasonable SVR (Support Vector Regression) model. Maximum predicated surface roughness of 3.075 mm was produced at texturing width of 0.327 mm, texturing depth of 100.54 μm and MAO duration of 1.667 min. Furthermore, highest predicated tensile-shear force of 2995.1 N was achieved at texturing width of 0.331 mm, texturing of depth of 100.6 μm and MAO duration time of 1.718 min. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
