[0041] Laser is widely used as a heat source in the surface treatment of materials, such as laser surface rust removal and strengthening. When the laser acts on the metal surface, it can quickly evaporate and peel off the oil, rust, and rust layer, thereby cleaning and strengthening the metal surface. Compared with laser surface treatment, ultrasound has stronger penetration ability. In addition to strengthening the metal surface, it can also refine the grains during the metal solidification process, promote the overflow of impurities, pores and other defects inside the metal, reduce defects, and improve product quality. Based on the above theory, the present invention proposes a method for laser ultrasonic composite cleaning and strengthening welding of titanium alloy surface.

[0042] This method is aimed at the problems that the welding groove needs to be cleaned during the welding process, and the weld is prone to defects that reduce the mechanical properties of the welded joint. During the welding process, a laser cleaning device is set at the front end of the welding heat source, a rotating ultrasonic strengthening device is set at the rear end close to the welding heat source, and an ultrasonic excitation table is set at the back of the weld. While cleaning the titanium alloy plate and the surface quality of the groove, the ultrasonic excitation effect improves the strength of the weld, saves work time, and improves production efficiency and welding quality. This method has broad application prospects in the field of ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal welding.
