Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of blade processing, and in particular to a device and method for detecting laser cladding of turbine blades. Background Art
[0002] The working environment of the last-stage blades of a steam turbine is steam. During high-speed operation, the last-stage blades are easily affected by water droplets and water vapor in the steam under the action of rotational speed and centrifugal force, resulting in water erosion at the steam inlet edge of the blade tip. Water erosion affects the output power and service life of the entire unit. At the same time, the risk of blade fracture will endanger the safe operation of the entire unit. Laser cladding, as the most advanced laser surface strengthening method currently, has been applied in batches on the last-stage blades of multiple units. Its principle is to melt the Stellite alloy powder through laser and rapidly cool it to form a metallurgical bond with the blade substrate, and use the high hardness and high wear resistance of the Stellite alloy to improve the water erosion resistance of the steam inlet edge of the blade.

Figure 2 , Figure 2 The shaded area in the middle is the alloy clad on the cladding groove. After the alloy is clad, the cladding area is obtained. After the cladding area is polished, the semi-finished cladding area is obtained. The final product is as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the excess part of the blade is milled off and the surface is treated to obtain the finished cladding area. Due to the difficulties of the cladding surface such as poor surface quality, high hardness, and difficulty in cutting and grinding, the detection and process control methods of the cladding area are key factors in determining the process capability and quality of laser cladding.
