The invention discloses an ultrasonic-assisted
laser welding system and an ultrasonic-assisted
laser welding method for
welding ultrahigh-strength steel along with welding, an ultrasonic generating device is connected with a
laser welding head through a connecting clamp, and the ultrasonic-assisted laser
welding process along with welding is realized under the driving of a
robot. A front contact ultrasonic applying mode is adopted, a high-frequency vibration energy field of ultrasonic
waves acts on a welding
pool through a to-be-welded test plate, and a series of beneficial effects are utilized to improve the solidification and
crystallization process of a welding seam. And a
tail air cylinder of the ultrasonic generating device continuously provides pressing force for the ultrasonic amplitude-change pole in the
welding process. The six-axis
robot is adopted for driving, welding of complex tracks and spatial positions can be achieved, an original laser welding
system is not changed, and equipment composition is simple. According to the method, the ultrasonic energy field is introduced into the laser welding
pool, so that the problems of cold cracks and
softening and
embrittlement of a
heat affected zone easily occurring during welding of the ultrahigh-strength steel for
spaceflight can be effectively inhibited, and the comprehensive performance of a joint is improved.
