Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of laser welding of dissimilar materials, and in particular to a laser welding method of TC4 titanium alloy and carbon fiber reinforced composite material. Background Art
[0002] Carbon fiber composite reinforced material (CFRP for short) is a new type of lightweight material with high specific strength, high modulus and low linear expansion coefficient. It has been applied in national key fields such as aerospace and military products. At the same time, it has gradually become the mainstream direction in civilian fields such as building restoration, F1 racing, rowing, and sports goods. Carbon fiber reinforced composite materials have a very obvious weight reduction effect on automotive structural parts, and also have good impact resistance and energy absorption capacity. However, carbon fiber reinforced composite materials have high production costs, complex manufacturing processes and low fracture toughness. At present, more people choose to connect them with metal materials to form a composite structure, which can give full play to the respective advantages of metal materials and carbon fiber reinforced composite materials.
[0003] Titanium alloy is a high-quality alloy with high strength, low density, good corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. It has begun to be widely used in various special environments, such as aerospace, military aircraft, large ships and other fields. It is an important material for manufacturing aircraft engines, rockets and high-speed aircraft.
[0004] Laser welding is a precision welding method with small heat source, high precision, fast welding speed and high energy density. Laser welding of titanium alloy and carbon fiber reinforced composite material realizes connection by locally melting titanium alloy and CFRP and then solidifying them by laser heat conduction. However, there is a great difference in thermophysical form between titanium alloy and CFRP, and there is a large residual stress near the welding joint, which reduces the connection strength. Surface treatment of titanium alloy is the main measure to improve the connection strength of titanium alloy and CFRP joint. The surface treatment methods of titanium alloy plates can be divided into three categories: one is surface mechanical treatment such as sandblasting, shot peening, etc.; the second is chemical treatment such as titanium alloy surface anodizing, etc.; the third is to increase the connection interface layer such as plasma spraying, etc. The above methods can improve the connection strength of titanium alloy and CFPR, but they all have certain limitations, and cannot solve the large welding residual stress and poor interface wetting and spreading caused by the difference in thermophysical properties between titanium alloy and CFRP, and the process is complicated and cumbersome. Therefore, there is a need for a method that is efficient, fast and stable and can reduce the residual stress of titanium alloy and CFRP welding. Based on this, the present invention proposes a new laser welding method of TC4 titanium alloy and carbon fiber composite material. Summary of the invention

[0044] From the comparison of the experimental data of wear resistance of the embodiment and the comparative example, it can be found that the present invention uses hydrogen peroxide to modify the surface of overly thick carbon fiber, and the hydroxyl radicals and oxygen radicals after decomposition of hydrogen peroxide react with the carbon fiber for oxidation, and perform stripping and etching to prepare carbon fiber with graphene oxide on the surface, and then further deepen the surface oxidation depth of the carbon fiber through microwave radiation, and at the same time, the loosely attached graphene oxide can be stripped; then, by controlling the conditions of ultrasonic treatment, the graphene oxide on the surface is partially stripped off, and after plasma beam treatment and impact, the graphite crystals with large crystal size and relatively dense arrangement in the carbon fiber cortex are further broken, and the grooves and pores on the surface of the carbon fiber are increased and expanded, so that the active groups and the concave-convex structure on the surface of the modified carbon fiber after subsequent resin filling and curing, the physical interlocking and chemical bonding complement each other to achieve higher bonding strength, thereby improving the strength of the carbon fiber composite material. Secondly, the present invention first chemically deposits a layer of nano nickel on the micro-textured surface of the titanium alloy, and then deposits acid-treated carbon nanotubes on the surface of the nano nickel through electrophoretic deposition technology; the carboxyl protons at the edges of the modified carbon nanotubes are replaced by nickel elements to form a dipole moment, thereby improving the wetting and spreading ability of the interface and reducing the residual stress after welding the titanium alloy and the carbon fiber composite material; the nano nickel reacts and combines with the titanium metal at a high temperature to form an alloy on the contact surface, thereby reducing the penetration and corrosion of the modified carbon nanotubes on the titanium alloy, improving the toughness between the composite material layers, and forming a multifunctional intercalated self-supporting structure; finally, the treated titanium alloy and the carbon fiber reinforced composite material are welded together through a laser to prepare a micro texture on the surface of the titanium alloy, increase the mechanical bite force between the titanium alloy and the carbon fiber composite material, and improve the connection strength.
