This project is focused on developing physics based models to predict the outcome of pulsed laser micro polishing (PLμP). Perry et al. [1–3] have modeled PLμP as oscillations of capillary waves with damping resulting from the forces of surface tension and viscosity. They have proposed a critical spatial frequency, fcr, above which a significant reduction in the amplitude of the spatial Fourier components is expected. The current work extends the concept of critical spatial frequency to the prediction of the spatial frequency content and average surface roughness after polishing, given the features of the original surface, the material properties, and laser parameters used for PLμP. The proposed prediction methodology was tested using PLμP results for Nickel, Ti6Al4V, and stainless steel 316L with initial average surface roughnesses from 70 nm to 190 nm. The predicted average surface roughnesses were within 10% to 15% of the values measured on the polished surfaces. The results show that the critical frequency continues to be a useful predictor of polishing results in the spatial frequency domain. The laser processing parameters, as represented by the critical frequency and the initial surface texture therefore can be used to predict the final surface roughness before actually implementing PLμP.

A three-dimensional, thermal-structural finite element model, originally developed for the study of laser–solid interactions and the generation and propagation of surface acoustic waves in the macroscopic level, was downscaled for the investigation of the surface roughness influence on pulsed laser–solid interactions. The dimensions of the computational domain were reduced to include the laser-heated area of interest. The initially flat surface was progressively downscaled to model the spatial roughness profile characteristics with increasing geometrical accuracy. Since we focused on the plastic and melting regimes, where structural changes occur in the submicrometer scale, the proposed downscaling approach allowed for their accurate positioning. Additionally, the multiscale simulation results were discussed in relation to experimental findings based on white light interferometry. The combination of this multiscale modeling approach with the experimental methodology presented in this study provides a multilevel scientific tool for an in-depth analysis of the influence of heat parameters on the surface roughness of solid materials and can be further extended to various laser–solid interaction applications.
