Sheet material double face precise forming method and apparatus based on laser blast wave effect

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of laser processing manufacture, in particular to a laser shock precision forming method and a device. The device comprises a laser, an outer light path system, a laser shock head system A, a flying optical processing system with a laser shock head system B, a test sample system, a detection feedback system, a multi-axis link machine tool and a tool fixture system, a central control processor and a control system. A laser beam emitted by the laser is split by the outer light path system and are respectively transmitted to the front and the rear surfaces of a workpiece to subject the front and the rear surfaces of the double-sided workpiece with an energy absorption layer and a confinement layer to laser-induced shock wave. According to the requirements of the shape and the formation rule of a plate material, the double-sided laser shock head can execute simultaneous and non-simultaneous shock, counter shock, staggered shock, shocks with same and different energy, etc., so that the plate material is formed by generating a certain plastic deformation and a stress field distribution and that a certain residual stress is formed on the surface of the plate material. The method can achieve accurate quantitative formation, good repeatability and high forming efficiency, and can easily achieve automatic production.

Description

Problems solved by technology

Its disadvantages are as follows: (1) During the laser shock forming process, the plastic deformation of the sheet is small each time. For high-strength alloy steel and thicker sheets, the deformation is smaller, and it is mainly suitable for the forming of thin sheets.

(2) Due to the small amount of plastic deformation of the sheet metal each time, the forming efficiency for large areas is low; in terms of forming large areas, only relying on each plastic deformation to complete the forming process will produce inhomogeneity be
