The invention discloses an annular
laser cladding
nozzle which comprises a
nozzle body, a
laser channel is formed in the center of the
nozzle body, the nozzle body is provided with a plurality of gas-
powder mixing cavities, an annular
powder channel, a
cooling channel and an annular gas storage bin, and the gas-
powder mixing cavities are annularly formed in the periphery of the
laser channel at intervals; each gas-powder mixing cavity is communicated with a powder feeding channel for inputting
metal powder, a lower outlet of each gas-powder mixing cavity is communicated with an annular powder channel, and the annular powder channel is provided with a plurality of flow guide baffles.
Powder enters the gas-powder mixing cavity and flows into the annular powder channel by means of gravity and air pressure. A flow guide baffle arranged in the annular powder channel effectively guides powder to flow, concentrated accumulation is prevented, and uniform distribution is guaranteed. The
cooling efficiency of the nozzle is improved through the design of the
cooling channel, cooling liquid circulates along an S-shaped loop, and it is ensured that the nozzle stably works under the high-temperature condition. In addition, the annular gas storage bin is further arranged, local excessive concentration of
shielding gas is avoided, and therefore the stability of the cladding process is improved.
