Abstract

This paper explores the potential benefits of depositing nano zinc oxide (n-ZnO) onto Aluminum (Al), where the Al is widely used in various industries, particularly automotive and aircraft manufacturing. The study investigates the effects of the (n-ZnO) deposition solvent (water and ethanol) on the properties of the Al metal, including its density, electrical properties, morphological, shock wave resistance, and mechanical properties; two parties were employed in this study; 1. alloying Al after depositing(n-ZnO) by applying different laser energies and measure electrical properties, second part employed Nd: Yaq laser with different laser energies ranging from 50-500 mJ and 7ns pulse duration to measure mechanical properties by the non-destructive laser technique (NDLT) and comparing the results with classical methods (Tensile test, and Vickers hardness). The n-ZnO thin films were deposited on the Al surface using a spin coating method. Their thicknesses were 0.5 µm by repeated deposition five times. The electrical properties were investigated the sheet resistance decreased after depositing n-ZnO. XRD analysis showed a decrease in the intensity of the aluminum peaks after depositing n-ZnO. The shock wave pressure caused by NDLT was more significant in n-ZnO dissolved in liquids; average shock pressures are (5.6, 26, and 26.12) GPa for Al alone, ZnO dissolved in water /Al, and ZnO dissolved in ethanol /Al. The shock time is slower for Al before coating and faster after Al is covered by n- ZnO dissolved in water and ethanol medium. The mechanical measurements were performed on Al and Al coated with n-ZnO dissolved in water and ethanol. The strain, stress, and elastic modulus were measured by classical tensile test and NDLT methods. It showed increased strain and decreased stress and elastic modulus after deposition. NDLT and Vickers’s hardness increased by 4.4 after depositing n-ZnO dissolved in ethanol on Al. The results of this article study offer an understanding of the development of advanced materials with improved performance. They could have significant implications for the automotive and aircraft industries, where lightweight and durable materials are in high demand. The NDLT method also offers a promising alternative for examining the acoustic and mechanical properties of different materials in the future.
