Problems solved by technology

[0003] The processing tolerance of titanium alloy forgings and the damage of forgings during use make the parts can only be scrapped. However, titanium alloy parts, especially TC4-DT whole frame materials, have high cost, large specifications and complex structure. The cycle is long, and the scrapping has brought great economic losses to the manufacture of titanium alloy parts, and also increased the production cost of the aircraft
[0004] When repair welding TC4-DT titanium alloy forgings, the heat input of argon tungsten arc welding is too large, which may easily cause welding cracks and parts deformation, and the welding heat cycle will affect the performance of the base metal, and the repair welding quality cannot be guaranteed

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of laser processing, relates to a process method for adopting laser cladding to repair TC4-DT forged pieces, and is mainly used for maintenance of the processing out-of-tolerance and the service damage of TC4-DT titanium alloys. The method directs at TC4-DT titanium alloys, TC4-DT powder is selected and used as a cladding material; a cylindrical additional dragging cover is mounted at the front end of a laser cladding head; a mesh copper sheet is arranged inside the additional dragging cover and is located between the laser cladding head and the dragging cover; air holes are formed in the dragging cover. Through the method, reasonable laser cladding process parameters are used for repairing the TC4-DT forged pieces with the processing out-of-tolerance or the service damage; the deformation of the repaired parts is very small and is controlled within a tolerance range; the repaired positions are free of crack defects; and the service life of the repaired workpiece is prolonged. The method can be carried out in the atmosphere or argon-filled environment, is convenient to operate and adjust, and is suitable for repairing the parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser processing, and relates to a process method for repairing TC4-DT forgings by laser cladding, which is mainly used for repairing TC4-DT titanium alloy processing out-of-tolerance and service damage. Background technique [0002] In order to meet the design requirements of light weight, long life and high environmental adaptability of the aircraft, a large number of titanium alloys and their application technologies are used in the body structure. Among them, TC4-DT damage-tolerant titanium alloy accounts for about 50% of the titanium alloy used in the whole aircraft, and is widely used in key load-bearing structures such as the main load-bearing frame of the fuselage and the main beam of the wing. [0003] The processing tolerance of titanium alloy forgings and the damage of forgings during use make the parts can only be scrapped. However, titanium alloy parts, especially the TC4-DT frame, have high ...
