Abstract

Effects of uncertainties of various parameters, including laser fluence, diameter of metal powder articles, laser pulse width and initial temperature of metal particles, on solid-liquidvapor phase change processes of metal particles under nanosecond laser heating are investigated in this paper. A systematic approach of simulating phase change with uncertain parameters are presented and a sample-based stochastic model are established to investigate the influence of different uncertain parameters on maximum surface temperature of metal particles, maximum solid-liquid interface location, maximum liquid-vapor interface location, maximum saturation temperature and maximum recoil pressure, and time needed to reach maximum solid-liquid interface location. The results show that the mean value and standard deviation of laser fluence have dominant effects on all output parameters.
