The life of the blades is affected in varying degrees by traditional micro pore machining techniques like drilling and EDM
which cannot match the requirements of high precision and high quality of the holes due to issues like significant taper
recast layer
and cracks during the machining process. Different from traditional mechanical processing
laser processing micro-holes is a high-precision processing method. However
since the spatter cannot completely expel the pores
a recast layer is formed on the hole wall
which affects the quality of the vias. In this paper
the simulation study of the femtosecond laser processing process of micro-holes is carried out and the morphology changes of the micro-holes from the beginning of ablation to the end of the micro-holes are analyzed
and then by changing different laser parameters
it is concluded that the thickness of the recast layer is affected by the laser power and pulse width
and the thickness of the recast layer can be reduced by increasing the power
but the power cannot be increased indefinitely
which will cause excessive ablation
and the pulse width does not show a simple linear relationship with the thickness of the recast layer. In order to reduce the thickness of the recasting layer
a processing method of reaming is proposed
which is to process micropores that are smaller than the actual requirements
and then expand the holes. It is verified by experiments that reaming can significantly improve the quality of micro-pores.
