Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of metal part repair, and particularly relates to a repair device and method for adjusting solidification melting zone thermal compensation of a heat source mode. BACKGROUND

[0002] The nozzle, blade, combustion chamber and other high-temperature alloy hot-end components of an aero-engine and a gas turbine are prone to wear, deformation, cracks and other damages due to long-term service in an extremely harsh environment of high temperature, high pressure, strong corrosion and complex alternating stress, and thus lead to failure of the components. In addition, the material processing of these hot-end components is difficult, the shape structure is complex, the precision requirement is high, and the like, which leads to a long processing cycle and high processing cost. Direct replacement of damaged parts will inevitably greatly increase the maintenance cost of the aero-engine and cause huge economic losses. Most of the processing and service damages belong to the repairable category. Therefore, it is of great economic value and strategic significance to develop metal part repair technology based on additive manufacturing, to realize high-quality, low-cost, engineering application and even in-situ repair of complex structure hot-end components.

[0003] Taking the repair of high-temperature alloy single crystal turbine blades, the core hot end components of aero-engine and gas turbine, as an example, the traditional welding repair method is difficult to meet the repair needs of thin-walled blade complex structure due to the large heat-affected zone. With the development of metal additive manufacturing technology, laser additive repair method has attracted widespread attention in the field of blade repair. Patent CN107685220A discloses a repair method for cracks in complex thin-walled high-temperature alloy hot end components, which fills the powder mixed with plasticizing agent into the area to be repaired and performs pre-sintering, and then densifies and repairs by laser cladding. However, the pre-sintering parameters for different materials need to be optimized and adjusted through multiple experiments to ensure the density after pre-sintering, and the repair process is complex and tedious with low repair efficiency. Patent CN110819981A discloses a repair method for nickel-based single crystal turbine blade crown, which sets a certain temperature gradient according to the distance to the plane to be repaired to reduce thermal stress and thermal deformation in the laser cladding process. Patent CN116851783A discloses a repair device and method for cracks in nickel-based single crystal turbine blade body. First, the crack area is slightly beveled, then the blade to be repaired is clamped on a low-temperature circulating cooling device, and then the laser focus is aligned with the lowest point of the crack to start layer-by-layer repair. However, the laser cladding method produces a larger molten pool, and the repair precision is lower. The scanning laser epitaxy technology developed by SUMAN DAS team of George Institute of Technology in the United States can achieve a certain height of single crystal epitaxial growth on CMSX-4, René80, René N5 and other single crystal substrates. However, the scanning laser epitaxy method has limited repair height and poor surface flatness, which is not suitable for repairing small defects. Laser powder bed fusion technology has the characteristics of large temperature gradient, fast solidification speed and high forming precision, and has great potential in the precision repair of complex thin-walled structure blades. Patent CN115700156A discloses a laser repair method for single crystal turbine blade tip damage, which uses laser powder bed fusion method to repair the damaged blade, and performs hot isostatic pressing on the repaired blade to improve the microstructure and inhibit defect formation. However, this method has low repair efficiency, and the powder composition used is different from that of the repaired area, making it difficult to ensure the matching of the performance of the repaired area and the substrate.

[0004] Although some scholars have initially prepared small-sized single crystal organizations by using laser powder bed fusion technology, the heterogeneous crystal defects are the bottleneck of laser powder bed fusion repair of single crystal blades. Among them, the heterogeneous crystal defects at the top of the repair layer are due to the decrease of the temperature gradient in the metal liquid as the solidification front advances from the bottom of the molten pool to the free surface. Due to the composition undercooling formed by the solidification front and the severe heat dissipation on the surface of the molten pool, new grains are easily nucleated and grown at the top of the molten pool at the end of solidification. The temperature gradient and solidification velocity in the molten pool are the key factors for the generation of defects in the additive repair process. How to regulate these influencing factors to achieve precise control of defects is a problem to be solved in laser powder bed fusion repair of single crystal blades. Although process parameter optimization is the main means to adjust the temperature gradient and solidification velocity of the molten pool to control single crystal growth and improve solidification defects, the causes of various defects are different, and there are many influencing factors, so it is often impossible to optimize multiple defects at the same time.

[0005] Therefore, the skilled person in the art is committed to developing a solidification melt zone thermal compensation repair method combined with variable magnification beam expander to adjust the heat source mode. Under the premise of ensuring that no other defects are introduced, the heterogeneous crystal defects at the top of the repair layer are effectively eliminated, the epitaxial growth of single crystal organizations is realized, and the repair quality and efficiency of complex components are improved. SUMMARY
