Problems solved by technology

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for controlling the movement behavior of the laser welding "small hole" and the molten pool by using the Lorentz force generated by the interaction between the current and the magnetic field in the laser welding pool, in order to solve the problems that often occur in the laser welding process. The welding process is unstable, prone to defects and deficiencies such as pores, cracks, undercuts, humps and arc craters

Abstract

The invention provides a Lorentz-force-based laser welding pool control method and belongs to the technical field of laser processing. According to the method, current and a magnetic field which are perpendicular to each other are applied to a laser welding pool to generate Lorentz force following the ampere left-hand law in the welding pool; the stress state, the flow behavior and the solidification process of a melt are actively controlled through the Lorentz force. The backward Lorentz force is applied to the welding pool to make a welded tiny hole be deepened and stretched, so that metal vapor / plume in the tiny hole escape smoothly. A solution in the welding pool flows smoothly. The effects of increasing the weld penetration depth increase, improving the welding stability and optimizing welding formation are achieved. If AC or pulse wave modulation is conducted on parameters of the applied current and the applied magnetic field, the Lorentz force can have the effects of stirring, vibrating and directionally driving the solution in the welding pool. The adjustment functions of the weld microstructure and performance can be achieved while the welding defects such as pores, cracks, undercut and poor formation are controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for controlling a laser welding molten pool based on Lorentz force, belonging to the field of laser processing. It can be used for laser self-fusion welding, laser wire filling welding, laser narrow gap welding, etc. Background technique [0002] With its unique advantages, laser welding has been used more and more in various industrial fields such as aerospace, automobile, chemical industry, shipbuilding, etc., especially for alloys containing low boiling point alloy elements such as aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy. A large amount of evaporation, combined with the low viscosity of the melt and the small surface tension itself, are prone to defects such as pores, splashes, undercuts, and welds that are difficult to form. In addition, with the emergence of ultra-high power lasers (tens of kilowatts to hundreds of kilowatts), laser power is no longer the bottleneck that limits laser welding of large and thick plates....
