Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser welding, and in particular to a magnetic field assisted silk powder mixed laser welding device and a welding method. Background Art

[0002] Laser welding generally uses a single welding wire or welding powder for welding. For thick plates and dissimilar metals with large differences in structure, welding with a single welding wire or welding powder is prone to forming defects such as pores and cracks at the weld, affecting the quality of welding. Wire-powder mixed welding can increase the amount of metal deposition per unit time and improve welding efficiency; and by adding specific metal powders during the welding process, the wettability of the weld and the base material can be improved, and the chemical composition and microstructure of the weld can be controlled, thereby improving the weld quality and welding joint performance.

[0003] Magnetic field-assisted laser welding is a new welding technology. The magnetic field can guide the movement of plasma, thereby affecting the shape of the molten pool, obtaining a more uniform weld cross section, and improving welding efficiency and joint strength. At the same time, the magnetic field can control the heat-affected zone during welding and reduce thermal damage by affecting heat conduction and convection. In addition, the magnetic field can change the dynamics of the molten pool, reduce the formation of welding defects such as pores and cracks, and improve welding quality. The laser welding process can be optimized by an external magnetic field.

[0004] The existing patent CN202410067324.0 discloses a laser arc hybrid welding device, including a welding table, in which an inner cavity is formed; a laser welding device is arranged on the welding table to emit a laser beam to melt the workpiece to form a specific molten pool; an arc welding device is arranged on the welding table and rotated in a direction close to or away from the center line of the laser beam and is located on one side of the laser welding device; an electromagnetic stirring device is arranged in the welding table, and generates a magnetic field direction and a magnetic field with controllable magnetic force toward the upper surface of the welding table to regulate the flow state of the molten pool; it has the effect of reducing the possibility of defects such as pores and unfused during the narrow gap welding of thick plates. In the above patent, the electromagnetic stirring device is fixedly arranged in the welding table and cannot be moved, which results in the poor adaptability of the electromagnetic stirring device to the weld. In addition, the electromagnetic stirring device can only provide a magnetic field in a single direction, and the magnetic field auxiliary adjustment effect on the weld is poor.

[0020] S5. Close the airway valve, repeat S4, and weld above the base weld.

[0021] The advantages and positive effects of the magnetic field-assisted silk-powder mixed laser welding device and welding method of the present invention are:

[0022] 1. The welding head is provided with a powder feeding tube and a wire feeding tube. The powder feeding tubes are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the welding head. The powder feeding tubes are also symmetrically arranged on both sides of the wire feeding tube. The welding wire and welding powder are respectively transported to the weld through the powder feeding tube and the wire feeding tube to realize wire-powder mixed welding. The composition of the filler metal is changed by the welding powder, which is beneficial to improve the organization of the weld, improve the welding quality and the strength of the weld.

[0023] 2.

The water cooling seat cools the magnetic seat and the welding head at the same time, which is conducive to reducing the impact of temperature on the magnetic seat.

[0026] 5. After the first electromagnetic coil is energized, a downward magnetic field is generated inside the magnetic seat. The magnetic field exerts a downward force on the molten metal in the molten pool, flattens the molten droplets, and makes the molten droplets fully contact with the parent material or the previous weld. After the second electromagnetic coil is energized, an annular magnetic field parallel to the workpiece is generated under the magnetic seat. The annular magnetic field exerts a horizontal force perpendicular to the weld on the liquid metal in the molten pool, so that the welding wire is fully mixed with the welding powder and the molten metal of the workpiece. The first electromagnetic coil and the second electromagnetic coil generate a composite magnetic field, which is conducive to improving the uniformity of the weld structure and the connection strength.

[0052] like Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown. A magnetic field device that provides magnetic field assistance for welding is provided at the bottom of the welding head 21. The magnetic field device includes a magnetic base 229, and the magnetic base 229 is fixedly arranged on a water cooling base 228, and the water cooling base 228 is fixed on the outside of the welding head 21. The water cooling base 228 and the magnetic base 229 are both arranged on the welding head 21, and the magnetic base 229 and the water cooling base 228 are driven to move synchronously by the welding head 21, which is conducive to simplifying the structure and improving the magnetic field treatment effect of the magnetic field on the weld. The water cooling base 228 is arranged between the magnetic base 229 and the welding head 21, and the water cooling base 228 cools the magnetic base 229 and the welding head 21 at the same time, which is conducive to reducing the influence of temperature on the magnetic base 229.

[0057] S1. Place the workpiece to be welded on the workbench 11, with the weld seam located directly above the groove 13. Loosen the top screw, slide the slide 12, and place the slide 12 against one side of the workpiece. Rotate the first screw 16 through the first knob 110, and the first screw 16 drives the pressing plate 15 to slide downward under the action of the limit rod 17. The pressing plate 15 is pressed against the surface of the workpiece to fix the workpiece.

[0058] S2. Pass the wire feeding tube 23 through the through hole of the rotating seat 220, rotate the locking nut, the locking nut drives the clamping block 221 to slide along the sliding rod 222, and the clamping block 221 clamps the wire feeding tube 23; the robotic arm drives the welding mechanism 2 to move, the welding mechanism 2 moves to the weld, and the adjusting rod 218 is rotated by the hinge to adjust the angle of the wire feeding tube 23; the driving gear 224 is driven by the knob to rotate, and the driving gear 224 drives the rotating seat 220 to move through the driven gear 223 to fine-tune the angle of the wire feeding tube 23.

[0059] S3. The second screw rod 29 is rotated by the second knob 211, and the second screw rod 29 drives the transmission plate 28 to slide along the guide rail.

The third screw rod 215 is rotated by the third knob 216, and the third screw rod 215 drives the slider 213 to slide in the second mounting groove 214. The slider 213 drives the wire feeding tube 23 to rotate around the hinge point between the top of the wire feeding tube 23 and the mounting seat 27 through the connecting rod to adjust the angle of the wire feeding rod.

[0060] S4. Adjust the parameters of the laser, wire feeder, powder feeder, shielding gas and power supply, and the laser passes through the optical path at the center of the welding head 21. The shielding gas protects the welding wire through the gas cavity 226, the shielding gas protects the weld through the shielding gas pipe, and the shielding gas in the gas channel 18 protects the bottom of the weld through the outlet 19. The robot arm drives the welding head 21 to move along the weld, the wire feeder feeds wire to the weld, the powder feeder feeds powder to the weld, and the laser melts the welding wire, welding powder and the parent material at the weld to perform the base welding. After the first electromagnetic coil 230 is energized, a downward magnetic field is generated inside the magnetic base 229. The magnetic field applies a downward force to the molten metal in the molten pool, flattens the molten droplets, and makes the molten droplets fully contact with the base material or the previous weld. After the second electromagnetic coil 232 is energized, an annular magnetic field parallel to the workpiece is generated below the magnetic base 229. The annular magnetic field applies a horizontal force perpendicular to the weld to the liquid metal in the molten pool, so that the welding wire and the welding powder molten metal are fully mixed.
