A method for repairing crack defects in aluminum
alloy specimens using a pointed thin-film acoustic
electrode, belonging to the field of aluminum
alloy specimen repair, includes: (1) determining the crack repair requirements based on the service environment of the aluminum
alloy specimen, and determining the required solder according to the repair requirements; (2) ultrasonically cleaning the inside of the crack; (3) ultrasonically repairing the crack to be repaired; first, the specimen is placed on a heating platform for heating. After heating to the specified temperature, the solder is placed inside the crack. After the solder is completely melted, the pointed thin-film acoustic
electrode is inserted into the solder, and the ultrasonic treatment is turned on for repair; (4) after the repair is completed, the
microstructure and properties of the weld are tested. This
repair method is highly operable. The repair process under ultrasonic action can be carried out directly in an atmospheric environment without the need for protective gas or special environment, reducing repair costs and adapting to various complex shapes, small widths, and large depths of cracks.
