Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of surface processing technology and relates to a superelliptical surface product and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Laser processing is a typical subtractive manufacturing process that weakens the structural mechanical strength of the substrate material. Therefore, special consideration must be given to its impact on the substrate's mechanical properties to avoid severe stress concentration during later use, which could lead to a weakened substrate and reduced mechanical stability, weather resistance, and durability. Typically, the mechanical stability of a microstructure is determined by its geometry. Traditional laser-processed substrates often have circular or square surfaces. Circular surfaces offer the advantage of uniform stress distribution, but their low surface area ratio relative to the material surface results in low surface utilization, which is detrimental to the packaging quantity and density of functional materials and electronic components. Square surfaces offer the advantage of a high surface area ratio, but their sharp corners cause stress concentration, leading to poor mechanical stability and susceptibility to damage under external forces (such as tension and bending), making long-term use difficult. Therefore, it is necessary to design a geometric shape that combines high surface utilization and high mechanical stability for laser-processed surface technology, expanding its applications in aerospace, chip manufacturing, micro / nano fabrication, and surface science. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the problems existing in current laser-processed surface technologies, this invention designs a superelliptical surface product and its preparation method. A superellipse is a geometric shape between a circle and a square; the curved transitions at the corners effectively reduce stress concentration and increase the unit area ratio of the laser-processed surface, thus achieving both high mechanical stability and high surface utilization. This invention discloses superelliptical surface designs and preparation techniques for different applications, detailing a series of superelliptical parameter designs. The superelliptical surface can be laser-processed on substrates of various materials, and the processed shape conforms to the theoretical shape, demonstrating universality.
[0004] The preparation technology solution of this invention is as follows:
[0005] A superelliptical surface article, wherein the superelliptical surface article has a superelliptical surface structure that conforms to the following curve equation:
[0006]
[0007] Among them, the shape parameters include: n is an exponential parameter, with a value range from 2 to positive infinity; a and b are semi-diameter parameters.
[0008] Furthermore, when the semi-diameters of the hyperelliptical surface are equal (a = b), the design exponent parameter n ranges from 2 to positive infinity. When n is close to 2, the hyperelliptical trajectory equation tends towards a circle; when n is close to positive infinity, the hyperelliptical trajectory equation tends towards a square.
[0009] The equation for the area of the hyperellipse is as follows:
[0010]
[0011] Where S is the area of the hyperellipse. Furthermore, to simplify the calculation, two equations are introduced:
[0012] Γ is the Gamma equation, and its general formula is:
[0013] B is the Beta equation, and its general formula is: When a = b, the equation for the area of the hyperellipse becomes:
[0014]
[0015] At this point, the surface shape enclosed by the centers of any four adjacent hyperellipses (top, bottom, left, and right) constitutes the smallest repeating unit. The area percentage of the hyperellipse within a repeating unit is:
[0016]
[0017] Where d is the hyperellipse spacing, which is the distance between the edges on the central axis of any two adjacent hyperellipses, A is the area of a repeating unit, and σ is the hyperellipse surface utilization rate.
[0018] The method for preparing the hyperelliptical surface includes the following steps:
[0019] Step 1: Select a substrate of different materials according to different application requirements. The substrate can be an organic material or a metal material. Then, perform dimensional processing and surface pretreatment.
[0020] Step 2: Theoretically design the shape parameters n, a, b of the hyperellipse and the spacing d between adjacent hyperellipses, and then draw the laser processing diagram according to the design parameters, calculate the surface utilization rate of the hyperelliptical surface and simulate the surface stress distribution.
[0021] Step 3: Prepare the sample surface using a laser processing system according to the design drawings;
[0022] Step 4: Verify the preparation results of the hyperelliptical surface through surface morphology observation and characterization methods;
[0023] Step 5: If the processed shape does not match the theoretical design, iterative design and processing are required. This iterative design and processing refers to returning to step 3 to change the laser processing parameters until the processed shape matches the theoretical design.
[0024] Furthermore, the selection of the substrate material for the superelliptical surface is determined by comprehensively considering various factors such as the substrate's material, thickness, density, strength, hardness, and cost, based on the application scenario and usage requirements.
[0025] Furthermore, when the superelliptical surface substrate is processed using organic materials, its properties are: thickness 1-300mm, density 1.14-1.20g / cm³. 3 Young's modulus 3.1-4.0 GPa, tensile strength 50-77 MPa, flexural strength 90-130 MPa, melting point 130-140℃, Poisson's ratio 0.3-0.4.
[0026] Furthermore, when the superelliptical surface substrate is processed using a metallic material, its properties are: thickness 0.1-3 mm, density 2.63-2.85 g / cm³. 3 Young's modulus 65-80 GPa, tensile strength 110-650 MPa, flexural strength 150-400 MPa, Poisson's ratio 0.3-0.4.
[0027] Furthermore, the pretreatment of the superelliptical surface involves ultrasonic cleaning for 5-15 minutes, followed by drying with high-pressure air for 1-2 minutes until dry.
[0028] Furthermore, the parameters of the hyperelliptical surface are designed such that the exponent n is 2-10, the semi-diameters a and b are 50-500μm, and the spacing d is 10-1000μm.
[0029] Furthermore, the formula for calculating the surface utilization rate σ of the hyperelliptical surface is as follows:
[0030]
[0031] The higher the corresponding value, the higher the surface utilization rate.
[0032] Furthermore, the stress distribution on the hyperelliptical surface is simulated using the software ABAQUS to determine the stress distribution of a single hyperelliptical structure under biaxial tension. The maximum Von Mises stress near the hyperelliptical microstructure is used as the criterion for judging the magnitude of the stress concentration effect; the larger the corresponding value, the more severe the stress concentration effect.
[0033] Furthermore, the superelliptical surface substrate is laser-processed with a scanning speed of 1-1000 mm / s, a laser frequency of 1-1000 kHz, and a laser power of 1-80 W.
[0034] Furthermore, the hyperelliptical surface is observed and verified using an optical microscope until the dimensions and shape of the surface-processed structure meet the customized requirements and conform to the design pattern guided by parameters n, a, and b. Specifically, for the hyperelliptical surface shape, when a and b are equal, as the value of parameter n increases, the surface utilization rate σ increases, while the stress concentration at the corners becomes more concentrated, resulting in poorer structural mechanical properties.
[0035] The beneficial effects of this invention are that, for materials with poor mechanical strength (such as organic materials), a hyperelliptical shape with a smaller n-value can be selected, resulting in less stress concentration and prioritizing surface mechanical strength; for materials with high mechanical strength (such as metallic materials), a hyperelliptical shape with a larger n-value can be selected, prioritizing high surface utilization. By comprehensively considering the characteristics of the substrate material, surface utilization, stress concentration effect, and structural mechanical strength, different substrate materials and parameter values (n, a, b) can be selected according to different needs, resulting in different surface utilization, stress concentration effects, and structural strengths. This allows for the design of hyperellipses of different materials and shapes to meet specific requirements, broadening the application range and applicable conditions of the product.
