Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to an online monitoring method for super-high-speed laser cladding intelligent processing, and belongs to the technical field of online monitoring of part surface manufacturing process. BACKGROUND

[0002] Super-high-speed laser cladding technology is a new type of efficient and low-cost surface treatment technology, which has been widely used in coal mine machinery, automobile industry, engineering machinery and other equipment manufacturing industries. As we all know, digitalization and intelligentization of manufacturing process can effectively improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce manufacturing cost. Therefore, intelligentization of super-high-speed laser cladding processing will be the development trend in the future. However, online monitoring of coating quality during processing is a key link to realize intelligent processing.

[0003] At present, around the online monitoring technology of coating quality during laser cladding process, emission spectrum, acoustic sensing, infrared camera and other online monitoring methods have been developed. The limitation of the emission spectrum method is that the information obtained is not intuitive, and the detection result depends on the effectiveness of the data processing and analysis algorithm. The acoustic sensing detection method is easily affected by external interference, such as environmental noise and cladding system electrical signal. The infrared camera method is mainly used in the process development of laser cladding, and cannot accurately evaluate the forming quality of the coating in the batch manufacturing process. In recent years, visual sensing technology has been increasingly applied to the analysis of laser cladding molten pool dynamics and cladding layer surface morphology. However, the molten pool solidification process is affected by many external factors, and its geometric shape characteristics cannot directly reflect the forming quality of the cladding layer after solidification. In addition, the deposition speed of super-high-speed laser cladding is very high, about 20-200 m / min, and the data acquisition accuracy of traditional CCD camera and CMOS camera is low under high-speed movement. Moreover, the running of the manufacturing site environment is easy to cause data loss, which cannot meet the needs of online monitoring of real-time surface state of coating during super-high-speed laser cladding processing. SUMMARY

[0005] In order to achieve the above-mentioned target, the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] In the formula, Z cmax is the maximum value of the cladding layer surface point height coordinate, and Z cmin is the minimum value of the cladding layer surface point height coordinate.

[0029] Further, the aforementioned step of determining the distribution threshold of the evaluation index includes:

[0035] By using big data analysis technology, and combining with the macro-morphology characteristics of the cladding layer, the cladding layer thickness distribution threshold ΔH', the cladding layer surface point height coordinate fluctuation distribution threshold ΔZ', the arithmetic average roughness distribution threshold ΔS a ′, the skewness distribution threshold ΔS sk ′ and the surface property aspect ratio distribution threshold ΔS tr ′ are obtained.

[0036] Further, the step of online regulation of the cladding layer quality based on the cladding layer thickness distribution threshold ΔH' comprises:

[0037] setting the design thickness value H1 of the cladding layer and the thickness allowable distribution threshold ΔH';

[0038] obtaining the actual thickness H of the cladding layer in real time, and calculating ΔH = |H-H1|;

[0043] Further, the step of online regulation of the cladding layer quality based on the arithmetic average roughness distribution threshold ΔS a ′, the skewness distribution threshold ΔS sk ′ and the surface property aspect ratio distribution threshold ΔS tr ′ comprises:

[0061] The technical solutions of the application will be described in detail below by means of the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific features in the embodiments and the specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solutions of the application, rather than limitations of the technical solutions of the application. In the case of no conflict, the technical features in the embodiments and the technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0062] The embodiment discloses an online monitoring method for super-high-speed laser cladding intelligent processing, as shown in Figure 1 , comprising the following steps:

[0063] STEP 1: Pre-set process parameters.

[0064] STEP 2: Start the equipment and prepare the cladding layer.

[0065] STEP 3: During the preparation process, the spatial coordinates of each point on the surface of the part are detected in real time, and the point spatial coordinates are the X, Y and Z coordinate values of each point on the surface of the part;

[0066] As shown in Figure 2 , it is the principle of detecting the coordinates of each point on the surface of the cladded part (including the surface of the part coating and the surface of the part base), the sensing head emits a parallel laser beam to project on the surface of the part, the direction of the laser beam emission is parallel to the normal direction of the surface of the measured region of the part, after the laser irradiation on the surface of the part, a diffuse reflection is formed, and a diffuse reflection laser beam is generated. The diffuse reflection laser beam is imaged on the high-precision CMOS camera after passing through the imaging lens. At the same time, in order to improve the online detection efficiency and range during the measurement process, the sensing head emits a parallel laser beam to form a rectangular spot on the surface of the part, and the rectangular spot is diffusely reflected on the CMOS camera to form a 2D test profile. The meanings of the parameters in the figure are as follows:

[0067] Z - height of each point on the surface of the part;

[0068] L - displacement of the imaging spot;

[0069] a - angle between the optical axis of the imaging lens and the laser;

[0070] b - angle between the optical axis of the imaging lens and the photosensitive surface;

[0071] K1 - object distance of the imaging;

[0072] K2 - image distance of the imaging;

[0073] O - optical center of the imaging lens;

[0074] N - position of the laser spot on the surface of the part;

[0075] N' - position of the imaging spot on the CMOS camera;

[0076] As can be seen from the geometric relationship in the figure, △MON and △M'ON' are similar, and according to the theorem of similar triangles, we can get

[0077]

[0078] Further, according to the relationship of trigonometric functions, we can get

[0079]

[0080]

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] By listing the above relationships, we can analyze and get

[0084]

[0085] Further analysis can get the relationship between the height Z of each point on the surface of the part and the displacement L of the imaging spot:

[0086]

[0087] In the formula, the parameters K1, K2, a, b are constants in the actual application of the online detection equipment, and the displacement L of the imaging spot can be analyzed by the detection equipment, so the height coordinate Z of each point on the surface of the part can be calculated.

[0088] The length of the rectangular light spot in the X direction is inversely proportional to the sampling frequency f of the online detection device, and the line profile is fitted by n points. The sampling frequency distribution range can reach 1 kHz-16 kHz. Assuming that the sampling frequency is f and the length of the rectangular light spot is T, the distance between the adjacent two points is T / n. Taking one end of the profile as the starting point, i.e., the X coordinate of the point is marked as 0, the X coordinate value of the Nth point can be calculated as: (N-1)*(T / n).

[0089] The online monitoring system analysis software can fit a series of 2D test profiles into a three-dimensional surface profile. The distance Y' between the adjacent two 2D test profiles in the Y direction is: Y' = V1*(1 / f),

[0090] wherein V1 is the moving speed of any point on the surface coating of the part in the super-high-speed laser cladding process.

[0091] Thus, the Y coordinate value of the point on the Mth line profile can be calculated as:

[0092] Y = (M-1)*Y' = (M-1)*V1*(1 / f).

[0093] Therefore, the online monitoring system analysis software can calculate the X, Y and Z coordinate values of each point on the surface of the part. In addition, by adjusting the irradiation position of the rectangular light spot on the surface of the part, the coordinate values of each point on the surface of the part substrate and the coating can be detected online.

[0094] STEP 4: Based on the spatial coordinates of the points on the surface of the part, the online evaluation index of the cladding layer quality is calculated, and the evaluation index includes the cladding layer thickness and the surface feature parameters of the cladding layer;

[0095] 4.1) Online evaluation index of cladding layer thickness

[0096] As described above, in the online monitoring of the cladding layer quality in the super-high-speed laser cladding process, the parallel laser beams emitted by the sensing head of the online monitoring system irradiate on the surface of the part substrate and the surface of the coating at the same time. As shown in FIG. 1, the 2D test profiles detected by the online monitoring system include the surface profile of the cladding layer and the surface profile of the part substrate, respectively. Assuming that the width of the rectangular light spot irradiating on the surface of the part substrate in the X direction is t, the online monitoring system evaluation software automatically extracts the Zci coordinate values of the 2D test profile points on the surface of the part coating (T-t range), and analyzes and calculates the average value Zcaver of the Z coordinates of all points in the range: Figure 3

[0097] Z caver =∑Z ci / n1, i = 1, 2, 3, 4…, n1

[0098] n1 is the number of test points on the profile of the surface of the part coating, and Z​ci Z is the height coordinate value of the i-th test point on the surface profile of the part coating.

[0099] Using the same analysis method, the average value Zsaver of the height coordinates of all test points on the profile line within the range of the substrate surface profile t can be calculated and analyzed:

[0100] Z saver sj / n2, j = 1, 2, 3, 4..., n2

[0101] n2 is the number of test points on the profile of the substrate surface, Z sj is the height coordinate value of the j-th test point on the profile of the substrate surface. Based on the above analysis results, the thickness H of the cladding layer on the entire 2D test profile is further analyzed:

[0102] H = Z caver - Z saver

[0103] 4.2) On-line evaluation index of surface morphology characteristic parameters of cladding layer

[0104] The present application proposes a method for on-line evaluation of surface morphology characteristic parameters of cladding layer combining 2D test profile and three-dimensional surface profile. On the one hand, by comparing the fluctuation range of the height coordinates of the coating surface points of the 2D test profile, it is determined whether the profile surface is abnormal, which has the advantages of small data processing amount and fast response speed. On the other hand, by comparing and analyzing the morphology characteristic parameters of the three-dimensional surface profile, it is further determined whether there is an abnormality in the forming process, which has the advantages of reliable and accurate evaluation results.

[0105] (a) On-line evaluation method of fluctuation range of height coordinates of coating surface points of 2D test profile

[0106] As shown in Figure 4 , the on-line monitoring system evaluation software reads the height coordinates Z ci of each point of the coating surface of the cladding layer in the 2D test profile in real time, then automatically analyzes the maximum height coordinate Z cmax and the minimum height coordinate Z cmin of the coating surface of the cladding layer in the 2D test profile, and finally analyzes and calculates the fluctuation range ΔZ of the height coordinates of the coating surface:

[0107] ΔZ = Z cmax - Z cmin

[0108] (b) On-line evaluation method of morphology characteristic parameters of three-dimensional surface profile

[0109] The present application proposes a new equivalent forming method for surface morphology of ultra-high-speed laser cladding layer, as Figure 5 ​​As shown, the 2D test profile of the cladding layer 2D in XOZ plane is taken as the initial profile, which is fitted by several surface points of the cladding layer, each of which moves along a respective moving path to finally form the three-dimensional surface profile of the cladding layer. Therefore, it can be seen that the three-dimensional surface profile characteristics of the cladding layer are mainly determined by the initial line profile and the moving path.

[0110] As shown in Figure 6 , the characteristics of the initial profile are mainly determined by the height difference characteristics and the height distribution characteristics of each point in the 2D test profile, therefore, the present application proposes to use the arithmetic average roughness Sa and the skewness Ssk in the three-dimensional roughness parameters to represent the above two characteristics respectively. At the same time, since the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process is an automatic processing process, the forming of the cladding layer has strong directionality, so the aspect ratio Str of the surface characteristics of the three-dimensional roughness parameters is used to represent the directionality of the moving path. The calculation algorithms of the above three parameters are as follows.

[0111]

[0112]

[0113]

[0114] wherein,

[0115] A is the selected area, and Z(x, y) is the height coordinate of each point in the area A.

[0116] STEP 5: Determine the distribution threshold of the evaluation index, and perform online control on the quality of the cladding layer. If the online evaluation index is within the distribution threshold range, jump to STEP 2 to continue the preparation of the cladding layer, otherwise jump to STEP 1 to adjust the process parameters.

[0117] 5.1) Determine the distribution threshold of the evaluation index

[0118] The process of determining the distribution threshold of the evaluation index of the forming quality of the cladding layer in the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process is shown in Figure 7 .

[0119] (a) According to the characteristics of the ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology, the characteristics of the cladding material and the performance of the substrate material to be cladded, etc., select the key process parameters as the influencing factors, design an orthogonal test scheme. At the same time, taking the key performance index type of the cladding layer as the evaluation index, the optimal preparation process parameter value of the cladding layer is obtained by optimization.

[0120] (b) Using single factor test method, the above key process parameters are used as influencing factors, and each influencing factor is designed as several different levels, and finally a single factor test scheme is formed. Based on the above scheme, the cladding layer is prepared.

[0121] (c) Using each set of process parameters to repeatedly prepare cladding layers, the number of repetitions is not less than ten times. The surface morphology of all cladding layers is detected and the characteristic parameters are evaluated, and the evaluation results of the characteristic parameters of the cladding layers under different process parameters are obtained.

[0122] (d) Using big data analysis technology, and combining with the macro-morphology characteristics of the cladding layer, the distribution range of the threshold value of different characteristic parameters is analyzed and obtained.

[0123] 5.2) Online regulation method of cladding layer quality

[0124] (a) Using neural network analysis method, a mathematical model of the influence law of the key process parameters of the processing process on the evaluation indexes of the forming quality of the cladding layer such as cladding layer thickness H, cladding layer surface height coordinate fluctuation range ΔZ, cladding layer surface three-dimensional morphology characteristic parameters S a , S sk , S tr is established, and then the change law of the cladding process parameters of the processing process can be obtained according to the actual online detection results of each evaluation index.

[0125] (b) Online regulation method of cladding layer thickness H: Before the ultra-high-speed laser cladding, according to the design requirements of the cladding layer process, the design thickness value H1 of the cladding layer and the thickness allowable distribution threshold ΔH' are set in the system analysis software. At the same time, the actual thickness H of the cladding layer is analyzed in real time by the online monitoring system analysis software, and is compared and judged with the set thickness value H1. When the cladding layer thickness distribution value ΔH exceeds the allowable threshold ΔH', the system will give an alarm prompt, and according to the established mathematical model, the analysis software can give the type of the potential abnormal process parameters.

[0126] (c) Online regulation method of each point height coordinate fluctuation range ΔZ: the threshold value ΔZ' of the height coordinate fluctuation range of the cladding layer can be set in the online monitoring system evaluation software, when the actual fluctuation range ΔZ does not exceed the threshold value ΔZ', it is considered that the forming quality of the cladding layer meets the requirements, that is, the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process does not appear abnormal. On the contrary, when the actual fluctuation range ΔZ exceeds the threshold value ΔZ', it is considered that the forming quality of the cladding layer does not meet the requirements, that is, the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process appears abnormal, and the system will give an alarm. Similarly, according to the established mathematical model, the analysis software can give the type of the potential abnormal process parameters.

[0127] (d) Online regulation method of surface three-dimensional topography characteristic parameters of cladding layer: the online monitoring system can detect the surface topography characteristic parameters S a , S sk , S tr of the super-high-speed laser cladding layer, and compare them with the set values S a1 , S sk1 , S tr1 of the topography characteristic parameters in real time. Meanwhile, the actual fluctuation values ΔS a , ΔS sk , ΔS tr of the three parameters are compared with the distribution thresholds ΔS a ', ΔS sk ', ΔS tr ' in real time. If the above evaluation indexes are within the distribution threshold range, it indicates that the process parameters and the processing system are in normal state. Otherwise, if the online evaluation results of the above evaluation indexes exceed the distribution threshold, it is determined that the processing process is abnormal, and the online monitoring system will give an alarm and the type of the process parameter that may have been abnormal.

[0128] (e) The online monitoring system compares the actual values and the set values of the process parameters that may be abnormal according to the type of the process parameter that may have been abnormal, so as to quickly determine the process parameter that causes the abnormality and automatically adjust the process parameter to the set value, so as to maintain the stability of the processing system.

[0129] Based on the above method, JG-11 martensitic stainless steel cladding material is used to prepare a cladding layer by super-high-speed laser cladding process, and the optimal cladding layer preparation process is obtained by orthogonal test scheme optimization. The laser power is 4900 W, the deposition speed is 11 m / min, the powder feeding amount is 40 g / min, and the overlap rate is 70%. Under the optimal process parameters, the average thickness H of the cladding layer is 0.53 mm, the average fluctuation range ΔZ of the height coordinates of each point on the surface of the cladding layer is 60 μm, and the average detection values of S a , S sk , S tr are 10.6 μm, 0.21 and 0.18 respectively. The above values are the set values H1, ΔZ', S a1 , S sk1 , S tr1 .

[0130] To analyze the distribution range of the evaluation index threshold value, taking the laser cladding process parameters as the influencing factors, based on the optimal cladding process parameters, a single-factor test scheme as shown in Table 1 was designed. In the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process, the laser power fluctuates from 3000 W to 5500 W, while the deposition speed, powder feeding amount and overlap rate parameters remain unchanged. Based on the single-factor test scheme shown in Table 1, ten samples were prepared for each process, the cladding layer forming quality during the preparation process was monitored online, and the average value of the analyzed characteristic parameters was obtained. As shown in Figure 8 , it is the macroscopic morphology of the ultra-high-speed laser cladding layer prepared by different process parameters. The characteristic parameters of the cladding layer under different parameters were evaluated by using the three-dimensional surface profile morphology characteristic parameter online evaluation method developed by the present application, as shown in Figure 9 , it is the variation law of different characteristic parameters with laser power.

[0131] Combined with the macroscopic morphology characteristics and the detection results of the distribution parameters of the cladding layer, using big data analysis technology, the threshold value distribution ranges ΔH', ΔZ', ΔS a , ΔS sk , ΔS tr of the evaluation parameter fluctuation values ΔH, ΔS a , ΔS sk , ΔS tr were obtained as shown in Table 2. At the same time, using neural network analysis method, the mathematical model of the influence law of laser power process parameter on each characteristic parameter was established. Based on the above analysis results, when the laser power process parameter fluctuates in the actual cladding process, the online detection system analysis software can detect the average thickness H of the cladding layer, the fluctuation range ΔZ of the height coordinate of each point on the cladding layer surface, and the average detection value of the three-dimensional morphology characteristic parameters S a , S sk , S tr in real time. Using the actual detection results of the indexes H, S a , S sk , S tr minus the set values H1, S a1 , S sk1 , S tr1 , and taking the absolute value as the actual fluctuation value ΔH, ΔS a , ΔS sk , ΔS tr of each index, and compared with the threshold values ΔH', ΔS a ', ΔS sk ', ΔS trComparing, the index ΔZ is compared with ΔZ' directly. If abnormality occurs, an alarm will be sent. At the same time, based on the influence mathematical model, the online monitoring system automatically compares the fluctuation value between the actual laser power output value and the set value, and automatically adjusts, so as to ensure that the cladding system automatically recovers to a stable state.
