Laser induced high temperature thermal-mechanical-oxygen coupling experimental system and method.

In this paper, a thermal-mechanical-oxidation coupling experimental system based on laser heating is developed, containing two modes of Gaussian and flat-top lasers, which has a series of advantages such as high temperature range, rapid heating rate, and convenient observation. The system adopts active illumination and an optical filter to solve the problem where it is difficult for traditional digital-image correlation technology to image clearly under laser heating. A biaxial mechanical test machine is used to simulate the complex load by applying biaxial tension or compression loads on the material. Combined with the radiation temperature measurement and controllable flow field device, the thermal-mechanical-oxygen coupling experiment of high temperature resistant materials under aerobic environment can be carried out. The maximum uniform heat flux output density is 27.2 kW/cm2, and the maximum Gaussian heat flux output density is 105 kW/cm2. The thermal-mechanical-oxygen coupling experimental system and method are of great significance to the development of new high temperature resistant materials and thermal barrier coatings.
