Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of underwater deposition, in particular to an in-situ detection device and method for the surface quality of an underwater laser deposition layer. Background Art

[0002] Offshore engineering equipment serving in the ocean is exposed to a complex and severe deep-sea environment for a long time. In addition to being affected by its own load, it is also vulnerable to additional loads caused by storms and tides, as well as corrosion effects such as seawater corrosion and sand flow abrasion, resulting in damage and failure of offshore engineering equipment. As a rapid prototyping technology, laser deposition technology has the advantages of high energy density, controllable heat input, small heat affected zone, small thermal deformation and residual stress, and good stability, and is widely used in repairing damaged parts. If it is applied to in-situ underwater repair, it fully meets the three requirements of "safety, rapidity, and in-situ repair adaptability" for repair technology in underwater on-site emergency repair.

[0003] Since underwater deposition needs to be carried out in a dry environment, the drainage gas used to create a dry area will cause fluctuations in the molten pool, and the quenching effect of the water environment and the cooling effect of the drainage gas will cause the solidification speed of the molten pool to be too fast. The combined effect of these factors easily leads to a poor surface morphology of the deposition layer. In addition, the relatively fast cooling rate during the underwater laser deposition process will lead to uneven tissue distribution, and then to a large residual stress and uneven hardness in the deposition layer. Due to the layer-by-layer deposition characteristics of the laser deposition process, if the previous deposition layer has a poor surface morphology or uneven hardness distribution, it will inevitably affect the subsequent deposition process, and easily produce defects such as poor surface quality, lack of fusion, and stress cracks, affecting the underwater repair quality.

[0004] In the prior art, Patent CN202210002316.9 discloses a device and method for monitoring the stacking height and upper surface flatness of arc additive manufacturing, which uses a high-precision spring detection device to mechanically measure the workpiece during the additive manufacturing process, and then obtains the surface morphology. Due to the use of a linear mechanical measurement method, it has the disadvantages of slow detection rate, small detection range, and difficulty in presenting the overall surface. Patent CN201910740237.6 discloses a method for detecting the stacking and cladding effect of a single-layer multi-pass weld, which obtains the contour information of the measured surface based on laser vision sensing technology. This method is difficult to achieve online in-situ monitoring of the morphology, and at the same time, it does not propose a subsequent solution for products with unqualified morphology, and it is difficult to achieve high-quality processing in an unmanned underwater complex environment. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an in-situ detection device and method for the surface quality of an underwater laser deposition layer, aiming to obtain the surface morphology and hardness distribution of the deposition layer in-situ underwater, optimize the surface morphology and hardness distribution of the deposition layer, and improve the underwater in-situ repair quality.

Introduce protective gas into the drainage hood through the protective gas channel to provide a protective atmosphere for underwater laser deposition. Drive the laser deposition unit to execute a predetermined scanning trajectory through the movement control unit;

If the obtained surface morphology does not meet the expectation, laser remelting is performed through the laser deposition unit to optimize the surface morphology, and morphology detection is performed again until a surface morphology that meets the expectation is obtained, that is, the surface morphology regulation of one deposition layer is completed. Repeat the above steps to perform layer-by-layer surface morphology regulation on the deposition layer to obtain high-quality deposition forming.

If the expected hardness is not reached, perform high-power laser remelting or low-power laser quenching through the laser deposition unit to make the hardness distribution of the deposited layer meet the standard.

[0031] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0032] The present invention can avoid the generation of defects such as lack of fusion and stress cracks, improve the internal quality of underwater in-situ deposition parts and in-situ repair parts, and obtain formed parts that meet the use requirements. Specifically, it has the following advantages:

[0033] 1. For the underwater laser deposition process, the present invention develops and designs a morphology monitoring unit and a hardness measurement unit, combines them with the movement control unit and the laser deposition unit, and places them in the drainage cavity unit, which can automatically obtain the surface morphology and hardness distribution of the underwater laser deposition layer in-situ, and is used to measure the quality of underwater in-situ repair.

When the laser cladding head moves along any scanning trajectory, the surface morphology of the solidified deposited layer can be obtained in real time, improving the efficiency and accuracy of the detection of the surface morphology.

[0035] 3. The hardness measurement of the present invention is measured by a hardness measurement unit based on the plastic deformation amount of the deposited layer under a constant force. The constant force is provided by a calibration spring, and the plastic deformation amount is provided by a high-precision sensor. It can not only achieve in-situ hardness measurement, but also avoid the influence of the surface topography of the laser deposited layer on the measured hardness value, and has general applicability for underwater in-situ repair.

[0036] 4. The present invention can realize the automatic detection and regulation optimization of the morphology and hardness of the deposited layer by layer. When the surface morphology is poor or the hardness does not reach the expectation, corresponding laser remelting strategies can be adopted in real time to optimize the morphology and hardness of the deposited layer. On the one hand, the laser remelting strategy can form a molten pool on the surface of the deposited layer, and the molten metal flows under the action of capillary pressure, which can significantly improve the surface morphology of the deposited layer; on the other hand, the high-power laser remelting or low-power laser quenching strategy can have a heat treatment effect on the deposited layer, making the tissue distribution more uniform, avoiding defects such as lack of fusion and stress cracks, and improving the quality of underwater in-situ repair.
