Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of foil vaporization welding for joining dissimilar metal plates, and in particular to an apparatus and method for foil vaporization welding based on an aluminum-based energetic thin film triggered by an electrical pulse. Background Technology

[0002] Against the backdrop of reducing fossil fuel consumption and lowering emissions, lightweight structures composed of multiple materials are increasingly used in industries such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and electronics, making multi-material design for lightweight applications increasingly important. Compared to alloys, composite plates of dissimilar metals can leverage the performance advantages of different materials, significantly improving component quality and possessing significant application value in lightweight and multifunctional manufacturing. However, due to the performance differences between different metals (such as melting point and thermal conductivity), traditional joining techniques are not always sufficient to meet the challenging requirements of these multi-material designs.

[0003] Dissimilar metal materials can be joined in a solid state using high-energy-rate forming (HERF) high-impact welding, a technique that traditionally makes welding nearly impossible. Foil vaporization welding, a type of HERF welding, is a highly promising technology, especially for joining dissimilar metals. It requires no high conductivity of the materials and has a forming time in the microsecond range, resulting in high production efficiency. However, foil vaporization welding also has drawbacks, including poor repeatability of welds, limited welding range, and stringent requirements for power supply systems and circuit parameters.

[0004] Aluminum-based energetic thin films can be divided into two types according to the reaction type. One type is aluminum-based energetic thin films with metal / oxide properties, which can undergo redox reactions and release a large amount of heat when heated or subjected to strong impact. The other type is aluminum-based energetic thin films with metal / metal and metal / non-metal properties, which can undergo alloying reactions and release heat under external energy stimulation.

[0005] Energetic materials are substances that, when excited, can release enormous amounts of energy in a short time through their own chemical reactions without the need for external substances. Relatively speaking, novel energetic materials possess numerous advantages, including high energy density, high enthalpy of formation, low insensitivity, high safety, ease of storage, and the ability to release large amounts of energy through independent chemical reactions.

[0006] Currently, research on novel energetic materials mainly focuses on preparation processes, characterization, and basic property testing, particularly the synthesis, ignition, combustion, safety, stability, and sensitivity of nano-aluminothermic agents, which are primarily used in the defense industry's pharmaceutical sector. There are no reports of successful applications in the vaporization welding of dissimilar metal sheets and foils. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention proposes a foil vaporization welding device and method based on an electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film, which can solve the defects in existing foil vaporization welding technology, such as poor repeatability of welding effect, limited welding range, and high requirements for power supply system and circuit parameters.

[0008] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0009] A foil vaporization welding device based on an electrically triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film includes a foil vaporization welding fixture and a discharge control system (4-1). The magnetic pulse welding fixture includes an upper substrate (1), a lower substrate (7), and a foil vaporization welding assembly disposed between the upper substrate and the lower substrate.

[0010] The aluminum-based energetic thin film is a composite structure of thin aluminum material and energetic material;

[0011] During the welding process, the discharge control system applies a high-frequency pulse current to the aluminum-based energetic film, using electrical energy to heat up and vaporize the thin aluminum material. When the aluminum material vaporizes, it triggers the release of chemical energy from the energetic material, forming a mixed release of electrical and chemical energy. The impact force of the released energy drives the fly plate in the foil vaporization welding assembly to collide with the target plate, thus completing the welding connection between the two.

[0012] The foil vaporization welding assembly includes, from top to bottom, an upper top plate (14), a target plate (13), a gasket (12), a fly plate (11), an aluminum-based energetic film (10), a lower top plate (9), and a bakelite base plate (8); it also includes a foil-pressing copper block (3) for contacting the aluminum-based energetic film; the discharge control system applies a high-frequency pulse current to the aluminum-based energetic film via a conductive copper strip (5).

[0013] The conductive copper strip is fixed above the base plate, and the foil copper block is fixed above the conductive copper strip by small studs and fastening nuts. The aluminum-based energetic film is sandwiched between the conductive copper strip and the foil copper block at both ends, and one end of the conductive copper strip is connected to the discharge control system.

[0014] The discharge control system includes a transformer (21), a rectifier (19), a charging resistor (20), a charging switch (23), a capacitor (18), a discharge air switch (24), and related connecting wires;

[0015] The primary side of the transformer is connected to a 220V AC power supply (22), and the secondary side is connected in series with a rectifier, a charging resistor, a capacitor and a charging switch.

[0016] One end of the capacitor is connected to one terminal of a conductive copper strip via a discharge air switch, and the other end of the capacitor is connected to the other terminal of the conductive copper strip, so that after the aluminum-based energetic film is connected to the positive and negative terminals of the discharge control system, a high-frequency pulse current flows from the capacitor to the aluminum-based energetic film.

[0017] The aluminum-based energetic film is covered with polyimide insulating (4-3) tape to reduce the resistance of the power-carrying circuit and improve the energy utilization rate of the system.

[0018] The base plate is a bakelite base plate (8); the conductive copper strip is fixed to the top of the bakelite base plate by a small stud (4) and a fastening nut (2);

[0019] The through holes of the bakelite base plate and the lower substrate are countersunk holes. The small studs used for connection are recessed in the bakelite base plate, and the large studs (6) used for connection are recessed in the lower substrate for insulation protection to prevent leakage. The countersunk holes are hexagonal, and the heads of both the large and small studs can be placed into the countersunk holes and constrained by the holes.

[0020] An assembly method for an aluminum-based energetic thin film foil vaporization welding device based on an electric pulse triggering method, used in the aforementioned aluminum-based energetic thin film foil vaporization welding device, includes the following steps:

[0021] Step S1, component assembly, specifically: fix the bakelite base plate to the lower substrate using large studs, then fix the conductive copper strip to the bakelite base plate using small studs, then fix the foil copper block to the conductive copper strip using small studs; finally, place the lower top plate, aluminum-based energetic film, foil copper block, fly plate, gasket, target plate, upper top plate, and upper substrate in sequence on the bakelite base plate, and fix the upper substrate to the lower substrate using large studs;

[0022] Step S2, foil fastening, specifically: after assembling according to the assembly sequence described in step S1, tighten the fixing nut (17) on the bakelite base plate, tighten the fastening nut (2) on the conductive copper strip, so that the bakelite base plate and the conductive copper strip are fixed; then tighten the fastening nut on the copper block at both ends of the aluminum-based energetic film placed between the conductive copper strip and the foil copper block, to ensure that the aluminum-based energetic film is fixed, so as to ensure the stability when the high-frequency pulse current passes through. Connect the positive and negative leads to the conductive copper strip and tighten them with the fastening nut. Finally, tighten the fixing nut on the upper substrate to achieve the fastening of the tooling.

[0023] A welding method for a foil vaporization welding device based on an electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film, used in the aforementioned electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film foil vaporization welding device, the welding method includes the following steps;

[0024] Step A1: In the charging circuit, the 220V AC power supply is first stepped up by the transformer, and then the AC power is converted into DC power by the rectifier. Then the DC current is passed to charge the capacitor.

[0025] Step A2: When the charging voltage reaches the predetermined voltage, disconnect the charging circuit and trigger the discharge air switch to cause the capacitor to generate a high-frequency pulse current for discharge.

[0026] Step A3: When the discharge current flows through the aluminum-based energetic thin film, the film undergoes heating-vaporization-mixed energy release. The energy release impact force drives the fly plate to strike the target plate, causing a metal jet to be generated between the two and connecting them, thus completing the foil vaporization welding process of the aluminum-based energetic thin film triggered by the electric pulse.

[0027] The method for preparing and using aluminum-based energetic thin films in a foil vaporization welding device based on an electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film, is used in the above-mentioned foil vaporization welding device based on an electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film, characterized in that: the composite structure of the thin aluminum material and the energetic material includes a composite aluminum-based energetic thin film, a powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film, or a magnetron sputtered aluminum-based energetic thin film.

[0028] The preparation and application method of composite aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: During the production stage of aluminum foil, other metal-based energetic materials are added, and the aluminum material (8-2) and the metal-based energetic material (8-1) of the composite aluminum-based energetic thin film are combined by hot rolling or cold rolling. When a high-frequency pulse current flows through the composite strip, the weak point of the composite strip is the heating-vaporization-mixing energy release region (8-3) of the composite aluminum-based energetic thin film.

[0029] The preparation and use method of powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: energetic material powder (9-1) is evenly spread on the upper and lower surfaces of the aluminum material (9-2) of the powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film at the detonation position in proportion, so that the aluminum material reacts chemically with the energetic material powder when it is vaporized, thereby forming the mixed energy release region (9-3) of the powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film.

[0030] The preparation and application method of magnetron sputtering aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: by using magnetron sputtering technology, aluminum material (10-2) and energetic material (10-1) of magnetron sputtering aluminum-based energetic thin film are laid layer by layer so that the aluminum material and energetic material react more fully when high-frequency pulse current flows through.

[0031] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the following advantages: Based on foil vaporization welding, it introduces energetic materials to control the explosion range of the aluminum-based energetic film. Furthermore, the aluminum-based film with added energetic materials, under the combined action of electrical and chemical energy, can achieve a larger welding area, indirectly enabling repeatable welding effects. Simultaneously, the combined energy release with the energetic material reduces the "sole" dependence on high-energy-storage pulse discharge equipment. Using an aluminum-based energetic film as the triggering material and controlling it with an external circuit system offers higher operational safety and control reliability compared to traditional explosive welding techniques. Therefore, this patent has strong practicality and broad application prospects.

[0032] In this invention, the use of electrical energy to vaporize aluminum creates a high-heat environment, resulting in the combined effect of electrical and chemical energy, which enhances the impact force of the energy release process and optimizes the welding effect.

[0033] This invention proposes a method for preparing aluminum-based energetic thin films by layering aluminum and other energetic materials using magnetron sputtering technology. When a high-frequency pulsed current flows through the thin film prepared by this method, the aluminum and energetic materials can achieve the most complete reaction, and the foil vaporization welding effect is the best.

The method for preparing aluminum-based energetic thin films using the foil vaporization welding device based on an electrically pulse-triggered aluminum-based energetic thin film according to claim 7, characterized in that: The preparation and application method of composite aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: During the production stage of aluminum foil, other metal-based energetic materials are added, and the aluminum material (8-2) and the metal-based energetic material (8-1) of the composite aluminum-based energetic thin film are combined by hot rolling or cold rolling. When a high-frequency pulse current flows through the composite strip, the weak point of the composite strip is the heating-vaporization-mixing energy release region (8-3) of the composite aluminum-based energetic thin film. The preparation and use method of powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: energetic material powder (9-1) is evenly spread on the upper and lower surfaces of the aluminum material (9-2) of the powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film at the detonation position in proportion, so that the aluminum material reacts chemically with the energetic material powder when it is vaporized, thereby forming the mixed energy release region (9-3) of the powdered aluminum-based energetic thin film. The preparation and application method of magnetron sputtering aluminum-based energetic thin film is as follows: by using magnetron sputtering technology, aluminum material (10-2) and energetic material (10-1) of magnetron sputtering aluminum-based energetic thin film are laid layer by layer so that the aluminum material and energetic material react more fully when high-frequency pulse current flows through.
