Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a dissimilar material welding technology, in particular to a control method for asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser dissimilar material welding. Background Art

[0002] In order to meet the demand for comprehensive product performance under complex working conditions, dissimilar material welding joints with multiple material characteristics are widely used in transportation, aerospace, and offshore platforms. Compared with the welding process of the same material, the difference in the performance of dissimilar materials easily leads to welding defects such as geometric asymmetry, cracks, and pores in the weld. The geometric asymmetry and pore defects of the weld will lead to problems such as stress concentration, poor corrosion resistance, and low toughness in the joint, which seriously affect the welding quality of dissimilar materials. At present, the welding methods of dissimilar materials mainly include stir friction welding, arc welding, and laser welding. Among them, stir friction welding has a large restriction on the size of the workpiece, the heat-affected zone of the arc welding weld is large, and the pore defects of the conventional laser welding weld are serious. It is difficult to suppress the formation of geometric asymmetry of the weld of dissimilar materials.

[0003] Scanning laser welding is a new type of laser welding process that periodically changes the movement path of the laser beam by rotating the galvanometer. The scanning laser beam can improve the energy distribution of the molten pool and the dynamic behavior of the small holes in the molten pool, enhance the stability of the welding process, reduce weld porosity and cracks, and improve the forming quality of dissimilar material welds. However, in the currently used scanning laser welding method, the laser beam scanning path is often set to be symmetrical along the welding center line, which makes it difficult to effectively suppress the geometric asymmetry of dissimilar material welds. In addition, in the process of dissimilar material welding, the high-precision adjustment and positioning clamping efficiency of the welding plate gap is low, which seriously affects the welding efficiency of dissimilar materials. It is urgent to propose a high-efficiency control method that can be used in the laser welding process of dissimilar materials. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above problems and propose a control method for asymmetric "∞" scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials. The variable power laser beam and asymmetric "∞" scanning path are used to adjust the energy distribution in the welding process of dissimilar materials, and to suppress the formation of welding defects such as geometric asymmetry and pores of dissimilar material welds. By using the gap adjustment block and the positioning clamping mechanism in combination, the positioning adjustment time of the dissimilar material welding plate is reduced, and the dissimilar material welding process is completed with high efficiency and high quality.

[0005] The present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A control method for asymmetric "∞" scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials, which uses a variable power laser beam and an asymmetric "∞" scanning path to adjust the energy distribution in the laser welding process of dissimilar materials, and controls the welding process and weld quality of dissimilar materials. The method is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0007] 1) According to the degree of geometric asymmetry of the dissimilar material weld, the energy distribution coefficient is determined, and the cross-sectional geometric morphology characteristics of the dissimilar material weld obtained in conventional laser welding are extracted. The upper molten width of the dissimilar material weld on the left and right sides of the welding center line is a and 1 and a 2 (Assume a 1 2 ), the lower weld width is b 1 and b 2 (Assume b 1 2 ), the weld areas are s 1 and 2 (Assume s 1 2 ), the geometric asymmetry degree R of the weld is determined by the asymmetry degree R of the upper end of the weld a =(a 2 -a 1 ) / a 1 , the asymmetry degree R of the lower end of the weld b =(b 2 -b 1 ) / b 1 and the asymmetry degree R of the weld area s =(s 2 -s 1 ) / s 1 Find, that is, R = η a R a +η b R b +η s R s , where η a , η b and η s are the asymmetry degree R of the upper end of the weld a , the asymmetry degree R of the lower end of the weld b and the asymmetry degree of the weld area R s The weight coefficient of , and satisfies η a +η b +η s =1, energy distribution coefficient R on the left side of welding center line 1 =(1+R) / (2+R), energy distribution coefficient R on the right side of the welding center line 2 =1-R 1 ​​​;

[0008] 2) According to the energy distribution coefficient of dissimilar materials, the energy distribution control scheme and adjustment parameters are determined. Laser power and scanning path length are important parameters affecting energy distribution during scanning laser welding. The energy distribution control scheme mainly includes constant power asymmetric "∞" scanning laser control scheme and variable power asymmetric "∞" scanning laser control scheme. The constant power asymmetric "∞" scanning laser control scheme is suitable for the working condition with weaker degree of weld geometric asymmetry, that is, when R≤1 and R 1 ≤2R 2 The variable power asymmetric “∞” scanning laser control scheme is suitable for the working conditions with serious asymmetry of weld geometry, that is, when R>1 and R 1 >2R 2 When the same energy distribution control scheme is used, the welding process parameters such as welding speed, scanning frequency and defocusing amount remain unchanged during the control process;

[0009] 3) Adjust the gap of the dissimilar material welding plates to complete the positioning and clamping of the welding plates. According to the gap requirements of the dissimilar material welding plates, select the gap adjustment block of the corresponding width, adjust the end face of the welding plate to align with the end face of the gap adjustment block, and cooperate with the movement, positioning and clamping mechanism of the welding plate to complete the gap adjustment and positioning and clamping of the dissimilar material welding plates;

[0010] 4) Adjust other welding process parameters to complete the welding process of dissimilar materials. The asymmetric "∞" shape scanning laser controls the welding process of dissimilar materials using argon gas with a concentration of 99.99% as the shielding gas. The energy distribution adjustment parameters during the welding process are the laser power and the length of the laser scanning path. Other main welding process parameters during the welding process also include welding speed, scanning frequency, defocusing amount and shielding gas flow rate. The specific operations are as follows: determine the energy distribution control scheme and adjustment parameters during the welding process of dissimilar materials, adjust the gap and position the plates for dissimilar material welding, turn on the shielding gas and laser, comprehensively adjust other main welding process parameters, and complete the asymmetric "∞" shape scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials.

[0011] Furthermore, in the process of constant power asymmetric “∞” shaped scanning laser regulation of dissimilar material welding, the laser power remains unchanged. The energy distribution during welding is mainly affected by the action time of the laser beam. When the welding speed and the scanning frequency remain unchanged, the laser action time is linearly related to the length of the laser scanning path. Therefore, on both sides of the dissimilar material welding center line, an asymmetric “∞” shaped laser scanning path with different path lengths is used to adjust the energy distribution. The scanning path lengths on the left and right sides of the welding center line are L 1 and L 2 , L 1 / L 2 =α(R 1 / R 2 ), α is the scan path adjustment correction coefficient.

[0012] Furthermore, in the process of dissimilar material welding regulated by variable power asymmetric “∞” scanning laser, the energy distribution is mainly affected by the laser power and the length of the laser scanning path. Therefore, on both sides of the dissimilar material welding center line, the laser beam with an asymmetric “∞” scanning path with periodic power change is used to adjust the energy distribution. The laser powers on the left and right sides of the welding center line are P and P, respectively. 1 and P 2 , the scanning path lengths on the left and right sides of the welding center line are L 3 and L 4 , P 1 L 3 / P 2 L 4 =β(R 1 / R 2 ), β is the correction factor for coordinated adjustment of laser power and scanning path length.

[0013] Furthermore, in the variable power asymmetric “∞” scanning laser control scheme, the laser beam scanning period is T, and the laser power P on both sides of the welding center line within a scanning period T is 1 and P 2 The action time is T 1 and T 2 , T 1 =TL 3 / (L 3 +L 4 ), T 2 =TT 1 .

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution conceived by the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. The present invention proposes a control method for asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials, which uses a variable power laser beam and an asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning path to adjust the energy distribution in the dissimilar material welding process, inhibit the formation of welding defects, and complete the positioning and clamping of the dissimilar material welding plate through the cooperation of the gap adjustment block and the positioning and clamping mechanism, so as to complete the dissimilar material welding process with high efficiency and high quality;

[0016] 2. The present invention proposes a control method for asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials, which adopts two control schemes: constant power asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser and variable power asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser, to meet the personalized improvement needs of different degrees of geometric asymmetry of dissimilar material welds;

[0017] 3. The present invention proposes a control method for asymmetric "∞"-shaped scanning laser welding of dissimilar materials.
