| Popis: | To investigate the plasma shielding of laser-induced cavitation bubbles near a wall, a pulsed laser with different energies was selected to induce cavitation bubbles on the surface of 7050-T7451 aluminum alloy. A high-speed camera captured the evolution of the cavitation bubble, while a fiber-optic hydrophone system collected the acoustic signals during the evolution. Finally, a confocal microscope was used to view and analyze the surface morphology of 7050 aluminum alloy. The experimental results indicate that as the laser energy increases, the diameter, the evolution time, the pressure of the bubble, and both the pit diameter and depth all increase. Beyond an energy level of 1.4 J, the maximum diameter and the evolution time of the laser-induced cavitation bubble begin to decrease; the maximum diameter decreases by 2.04%, and the first evolution time decreases by 3.26%. Plasma shielding was observed in this experiment. Considering that the essence of a laser-induced cavitation bubble is the interaction between a high-energy laser and a liquid medium, the abnormal decrease in the maximum diameter, evolution time, and sound pressure epitomizes the manifestation of plasma shielding. |
