The invention discloses a
wind power main shaft and a surface strengthening layer microdefect control method thereof, and belongs to the technical field of
metal material
surface modification. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out heat treatment and surface purification treatment on a
wind power main shaft base body, then carrying out multi-energy field
composite surface strengthening treatment, and then carrying out defect
elimination treatment and stress optimization treatment; the heat treatment comprises
quenching treatment and high-temperature
tempering treatment; the multi-energy field
composite surface strengthening treatment comprises preheating and
hydrogen trap setting, low-temperature
ion nitriding and
laser remelting-
quenching composite treatment; the defect
elimination treatment and the stress optimization treatment comprise low-temperature
dehydrogenation and stabilization treatment for eliminating defects, and shot blasting treatment and
polishing treatment for stress optimization. By means of the method, systematic control over microcracks, harmful phases, the
hydrogen content and unfavorable
residual stress in the strengthened layer can be achieved, so that the high-quality strengthened layer which is compact in
microstructure, few in defect and optimized in stress state is obtained, the anti-fatigue performance of the
wind power spindle is greatly improved, and the service life of the wind power spindle is greatly prolonged.
