Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser cladding, and in particular to a laser cladding powder material and a preparation method thereof, and a laser cladding repair method for alloy steel shaft parts. Background Art
[0002] The main material used in wind turbine main shafts is alloy structural steel, which can meet the requirements of high-speed rotation and heavy loads. Alloy structural steel has excellent strength and toughness, and more importantly, it has good fatigue resistance in low temperature environments, which can ensure the stability and life of the main shaft during operation. 35CrMoA alloy steel has high static strength, impact toughness and fatigue limit, and also has excellent lasting strength at high temperatures. It is widely used in important structural parts working under high loads, such as wind turbine main shafts. During the operation of the wind turbine main shaft, it is subjected to periodic and random loads transmitted by the impeller, as well as torsional vibration loads of the transmission chain itself. Under the action of complex and variable loads, there are two main forms of failure and damage of the main shaft: one is that the local yield of the main shaft is damaged due to excessive limit loads; the other is that the main shaft is fatigued during its service life due to excessive alternating loads. Wind turbines are usually designed to operate safely and reliably for more than 20 years, or even longer. Therefore, the ultimate strength and fatigue strength of the main shaft must meet the requirements and have a certain safety reserve.
[0003] The main shaft may have defects such as metal inclusions, cracks, and rough surfaces during manufacturing. These defects will gradually expand during the operation of the main shaft and cause the main shaft to fail prematurely. The main shaft will also be affected by various environmental factors during long-term operation, such as temperature, humidity, vibration, etc. At the same time, the geometry of the main shaft will undergo slight deformation due to long-term operation, which will also cause the failure of the main shaft and eventually cause the wind turbine main shaft to be scrapped. After a period of service, the dimensional deformation and excessive wear of the components of the products entering the maintenance cycle are becoming more and more serious, and even destructive defects such as cracks may occur under extreme loads. Therefore, after a period of operation, the damaged parts of the wind turbine main shaft need to be repaired. At present, the damaged main shaft is mainly repaired by surfacing welding, but the residual stress of the main shaft after surfacing welding is high, and the surface hardness of the surfacing layer is high, and the hardness decreases with the increase of the distance from the surface layer. In addition, traditional cladding has a large welding heat input and a large welding heat affected zone during the welding process. The original mechanical properties of metal parts cannot be guaranteed after repair. In addition, the degree of automation in the welding process is low, and secondary defects are easily generated during cladding. When repairing overhauled products and precision-processed products, the product dimensional accuracy is difficult to guarantee, which greatly limits this method.
[0004] In addition, the scrapped spindle parts caused by the spindle not meeting the service conditions or other reasons can be reused through remanufacturing. However, remanufacturing uses recycled scrap spindle parts as raw materials. The instability of their quality leads to a great difference between the remanufacturing process and the new product manufacturing process, and there are many process uncertainty factors. Therefore, the remanufacturing quality of parts and the control of product quality consistency are more complex than new products. Laser cladding technology is mainly used for surface repair and modification of metal parts, and can also be used for spindle remanufacturing. However, the spindle remanufacturing process is uncertain due to the differences in the original quality of the spindle, service conditions, etc., especially the laser remanufacturing process, which has many process parameters, many influencing factors, and a complex process, resulting in the remanufacturing process being difficult to control and the remanufacturing quality consistency being poor.
[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the invention

It should be understood that the following drawings only show certain embodiments of the present invention and therefore should not be regarded as limiting the scope.

[0031] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer of the reagents or instruments used is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.
[0032] The following specifically describes a laser cladding powder material and a preparation method thereof and a laser cladding repair method for alloy steel shaft parts disclosed in the present invention.
[0033] After long-term high-speed operation, existing spindle parts will cause the spindle to vibrate, increase noise or rotate unstably, and will also cause problems such as wear, looseness or falling off. If the spindle is worn or deformed, it needs to be ground and repaired to restore the geometry and surface accuracy of the spindle. In order to achieve a better repair effect on the damaged parts of alloy steel shafts, it is necessary to make the laser cladding layer have an ideal stress distribution state. Furthermore, in order to obtain an ideal stress distribution state on the surface of the laser cladding layer, one method is to optimize the repair process, such as optimizing the laser cladding process parameters to obtain an ideal microstructure and performance; another method is to perform comprehensive organizational regulation by post-processing. Although residual stress can be released and the surface hardness of the cladding layer can be reduced by heat treatment, the heat treatment process cannot be carried out at the repair site, and the environmental protection investment is large, which is not suitable for on-site operations. The hammering method is widely used and more flexible, but the labor intensity is large, the controllability and surface quality are poor, and the effect is unstable. Shot peening can obtain relatively good mechanical properties, good controllability and effect, but the disadvantage is that the equipment is complex and large, the processing cost is high, and the flexibility is poor.
[0034] Therefore, after a lot of research and practice, the inventor proposed the use of ultra-high-speed laser cladding to repair or remanufacture alloy steel shaft parts. Unlike conventional laser cladding, ultra-high-speed laser cladding changes the laser optical path and powder feeding path. The high-energy laser beam is focused on the appropriate position above the metal substrate. The laser interacts with the metal substrate and the powder at the same time. The powder is melted before entering the substrate molten pool and enters the molten pool in liquid form. Compared with traditional surfacing methods, the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process significantly reduces the thermal impact of the substrate. At the same time, because laser cladding has extremely fast heating and cooling speeds, the thermal cycle process is short, and the grains of the cladding layer are not easy to grow, so that a uniform and dense internal microstructure can be formed, and defects such as pores and cracks are not easy to form. Based on the original quality of the spindle, service conditions, etc., it is necessary to find a laser cladding powder material suitable for the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process so that it can achieve better bonding strength and lower residual stress with the substrate, while also requiring higher hardness. This is undoubtedly a big challenge. Therefore, after further extensive research and practice, the following laser cladding powder materials and laser cladding repair methods were obtained.
[0035] Specifically, some embodiments of the present invention disclose a laser cladding powder material, which includes 40wt.% to 85wt.% of nickel-based alloy powder, 10wt.% to 30wt.% of high-entropy alloy powder and 5wt.% to 30wt.% of ceramic reinforcement particles. Among them, the chemical composition of the nickel-based alloy powder is: Cr: 3wt.%~18wt.%, B: 1wt.%~4wt.%, Si: 1wt.%~6wt.%, Fe: 5wt.%~20wt.%, C: 0.2wt.%~0.9wt%, V: 0.1wt.%~0.3wt.%, and the balance is Ni; the chemical composition of the high-entropy alloy powder is: Zr: 16wt.%~18.5wt.%, Al: 8wt.%~20wt.%, Ni: 9.5wt.%~13wt.%, Fe: 19wt.%~23wt.%, Cr: 18wt.%~22wt.%, Co: 20wt.%~24wt.%.
[0036] Generally speaking, adding nickel to the laser cladding layer can improve the toughness of the cladding layer, which is a very effective method to inhibit the generation of cracks. The above-mentioned laser cladding powder is mainly nickel-based alloy powder, which has good toughness and is suitable for laser cladding. However, its high nickel content will also lead to a decrease in the hardness of the cladding layer, reduce the service performance of the cladding layer, and its bonding performance with the surface of alloy steel shafts does not meet the requirements. Therefore, on this basis, a specific proportion of ceramic reinforcement particles and high entropy alloys are further added to improve the comprehensive performance of the cladding powder material, so that the mixed alloy powder has excellent properties such as deoxidation, reduction, slag formation, degassing, wetting metal surface, good solid fluidity, moderate particle size, and low oxygen content. Furthermore, in order to achieve better comprehensive performance, in some embodiments, the chemical composition of the nickel-based alloy powder and the ratio with the high entropy alloy powder and ceramic reinforcing particles are optimized. Exemplarily, the chemical composition of the nickel-based alloy powder is: Cr: 3wt.%~5wt.%, B: 1wt.%~3wt.%, Si: 2wt.%~4wt.%, Fe: 8wt.%~12wt.%, C: 0.2wt.%~0.6wt%, V: 0.1wt.%~0.3wt.%, and the balance is Ni. For reference, the content of nickel-based alloy powder in the laser cladding powder material is 55wt.% to 65wt.%, for example, 55wt.%, 56wt.%, 57wt.%, 58wt.%, 59wt.%, 60wt.%, 61wt.%, 62wt.%, 63wt.%, 64wt.% or 65wt.%, or between any two percentages; the content of high entropy alloy in the laser cladding powder material is 15wt.% to 25wt.%, for example, 15wt.%, 16wt.%, 17wt.%, 18wt.%. %, 19wt.%, 20wt.%, 21wt.%, 22wt.%, 23wt.%, 24wt.% or 25wt.%, or between any two percentages; the content of ceramic reinforcing particles in the laser cladding powder material is 15wt.% to 25wt.%, for example, 15wt.%, 16wt.%, 17wt.%, 18wt.%, 19wt.%, 20wt.%, 21wt.%, 22wt.%, 23wt.%, 24wt.% or 25wt.%, or between any two percentages.
[0037] In some embodiments, the ceramic reinforcement particles can be selected as tungsten carbide reinforcement particles. Tungsten carbide particles have high hardness, which can effectively improve the hardness of the cladding layer, and tungsten carbide particles have good interface bonding with nickel, and large amounts of tungsten carbide particles are not likely to cause cracking of the cladding layer. In addition, tungsten carbide particles have good thermal stability and low expansion coefficient, which is conducive to reducing thermal stress caused by temperature changes and enhancing corrosion resistance.
[0038] For reference, the particle size of the laser cladding powder material can be selected to be 15μm to 50μm. In the ultra-high-speed laser cladding process, on the one hand, the laser cladding powder in this particle size range is more likely to form a uniform molten pool on the substrate, which helps to improve the flatness and density of the cladding layer and avoid holes, cracks, etc.; on the other hand, the powder in this particle size range is more easily heated and melted by the laser beam, thereby improving the cladding efficiency and effect.
[0039] Furthermore, some embodiments of the present invention also provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned laser cladding powder material, which comprises: ball milling nickel-based alloy powder, high entropy alloy powder and ceramic reinforcement particles weighed in proportion through a ball mill.
[0040] Ball milling can make the three components evenly dispersed, and the ceramic reinforcement particles can be physically combined with the other two nickel-based alloy powders.
[0041] In some embodiments, the particle size of the nickel-based alloy powder used for ball milling is 15 μm to 75 μm, the sphericity is ≥ 88%, the particle size of the high-entropy alloy powder used for ball milling is 16 to 50 μm, the sphericity is ≥ 92%, the oxygen content is ≤ 150 ppm, and the particle size of the ceramic reinforcement particles used for ball milling is 3 μm to 15 μm. After ball milling, the ceramic reinforcement particles with smaller particle size can be combined with the nickel-based powder and high-entropy alloy powder with larger particle size under the action of mechanical force.
[0042] In some embodiments, the ball mill is a planetary ball mill, and the rotation speed can be selected to be 10r / min~400r / min, for example, 10r / min, 20r / min, 50r / min, 60r / min, 70r / min, 80r / min, 100r / min, 150r / min, 200r / min, 250r / min, 300r / min, 350r / min or 400r / min, etc.; the ball milling time can be selected to be 2h~24h, for example, 2h, 5h, 8h, 10h, 12h, 15h, 18h, 20h or 24h, etc.
[0043] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the ball milling is performed under the protection of an inert gas, wherein the inert gas may be argon.
[0044] In some embodiments, high entropy alloy powder and nickel-based alloy powder are weighed in proportion and evenly mixed with tungsten carbide reinforced particles, and a planetary ball mill is used to rotate at a speed of 10 to 400 r / min for 2 to 24 hours. Argon gas is introduced during the ball milling process for protection. After the ball milling is completed, the laser cladding powder material with a particle size of 15 μm to 50 μm is obtained by sieving and grading.
[0045] Some embodiments of the present invention also provide a laser cladding repair method for alloy steel shaft parts, which comprises: repairing damaged parts of alloy steel shaft parts by ultra-high-speed laser cladding, and the laser cladding material used is the above-mentioned laser cladding powder material.
[0046] Ultra-high-speed laser cladding has a high cladding rate. During the cladding process, more than 85% of the laser energy directly acts on the repair powder, with ultra-low heat input and ultra-high powder capture efficiency. The base material is less damaged by heat, and the width of the heat-affected zone and the dilution rate of the cladding layer are low, which is conducive to improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the cladding layer. The efficiency of ultra-high-speed laser cladding is 40 to 100 times higher than that of traditional laser cladding, so the cladding layer can be quickly prepared over a large area. Laser surface remelting uses a high-energy-density laser beam to irradiate the surface of the material, causing it to melt rapidly in a short time, and then rapidly cools and solidifies through the heat conduction and thermal convection of the substrate, thereby forming a layer of fine grain structure on the surface of the material. The repair layer prepared by ultra-high-speed laser cladding has the characteristics of high cooling rate, uniform element distribution, and dendrite refinement, which can further improve the corrosion resistance of the repair layer.
[0047] Therefore, ultra-high-speed laser cladding technology is easy to control automatically, and can achieve precise process parameter adjustment and stable cladding quality. The repaired spindle surface has high surface hardness, fatigue resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance, which can effectively improve the service life of the spindle and achieve the purpose of repair. The process is highly efficient, simple to operate, has a wide range of applications, and is convenient for industrial production and application. By adopting this repair method, it can be applied to the remanufacturing / repair of wind turbine main shafts, effectively regulate the surface structure of the laser remanufactured spindle, improve its service life, and obtain a high damage tolerance surface, which is of great significance for improving the operating safety of wind turbines, improving economic benefits, and saving resources and energy.
[0048] In some implementations, the laser cladding repair method for alloy steel shaft parts specifically includes:
[0049] S1. Inspection and preprocessing.
[0050] Specifically, in some embodiments, the spindle is cleaned and inspected to remove rust stains, failure sites, and fatigue layers on the surface, and then subjected to flaw detection and turning until there is no wear or crack layer on the surface; before laser cladding repair, the spindle is laser preheated. In some embodiments, the spindle is preheated to a surface temperature of 200 to 300°C using laser rapid scanning, and the laser power is 4 to 6kW.
[0051] In some embodiments, before laser cladding, the laser cladding powder material for repair is baked and dried at a temperature of 150 to 280° C. for 2 to 3 hours.
[0052] S2. Laser cladding and laser remelting.
[0053] Specifically, in some embodiments, an inert gas is used as a protective gas, and the powder feeding gas pressure is 0.05MPa to 0.9MPa. For example, it can be selected as 0.05MPa, 0.1MPa, 0.15MPa, 0.2MPa, 0.25MPa, 0.3MPa, 0.35MPa, 0.4MPa, 0.45MPa, 0.5MPa, 0.55MPa, 0.6MPa, 0.65MPa, 0.7MPa, 0.75MPa, 0.8MPa, 0.85MPa or 0.9MPa, or between any two of the above pressures; the powder feeding amount is 5g / min to 45g / min. For example, it can be selected as 5g / min, 10g / min, 15g / min, 20g / min, 25g / min, 30g / min, 35g / min, 40g / min, etc. g / min or 45g / min, etc., or between any two of the above powder feeding rates; the power of the laser cladding equipment is 1kW to 6kW, and for example, it can be selected as 1kW, 1.5kW, 2kW, 2.5kW, 3kW, 3.5kW, 4kW, 4.5kW, 5kW, 5.5kW or 6kW, etc., or between any two of the above powers; the thickness of the cladding layer is 0.2mm to 5mm, and for example, the thickness of the cladding layer can be selected as 0.2mm, 0.5mm, 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 3.5mm, 4mm, 4.5mm or 5mm, etc., or between any two of the above thicknesses; the path trajectory of the laser cladding adopts a forward and reverse spiral trajectory motion mode, and the laser cladding and laser remelting are performed alternately, and the power of the laser remelting is 2 to 3 times that of the laser cladding, preferably 2 times. Among them, the inert gas used as the protective gas can be selected as argon with a purity greater than 99.99%.
[0054] In some embodiments, the laser spot diameter is 0.5 mm to 2 mm, and can be selected as 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.7 mm, 0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2 mm, or between any two of the above diameters. The scanning rate is 20 m / min to 200 m / min, for example, it can be selected as 20 m / min, 25 m / min, 30 m / min, 35 m / min, 40 m / min, 50 m / min, 80 m / min, 100 m / min or 200 m / min, or between any two of the above scanning rates. The overlap rate is 45 to 60%, and can be selected as 50% for example.
[0055] In some embodiments, argon is used as the protective gas, the powder feeding pressure is 0.2-0.4 MPa, and the powder feeding amount is 18-25 g / min; the power of the laser cladding equipment is 1.8-2.5 kW, and the power of the laser remelting is 3.6-5 kW; the laser spot diameter is 0.8-1.2 mm, the scanning rate is 18-25 m / min, and the overlap rate is 45-55%.
[0056] In some implementations, the power of the laser cladding equipment is 2-4 kW or 2-3 kW, and the power of the laser remelting is 3.5-4.5 kW.
[0057] Exemplarily, argon is used as the protective gas, the powder feeding pressure is 0.3 MPa, and the powder feeding amount is 20 g / min; the power of the laser cladding equipment is 2 kW, and the power of the laser remelting is 4 kW; preferably, the laser spot diameter is 1 mm, the scanning rate is 20 m / min, and the overlap rate is 50%.
[0058] First, by strictly controlling the laser power and scanning rate, the cladding powder material can be completely melted and have appropriate energy input and heat accumulation, so that the cladding layer has better bonding strength and density, and is not prone to defects such as element burnout, pores and cracks, and avoids problems such as poor bonding between the cladding layer and the substrate, and the generation of coarse tissue and thermal stress. Secondly, by controlling the powder feeding rate, the flatness and uniformity of the cladding layer can meet the performance requirements. In addition, the reasonable setting of the spot diameter and overlap rate also enables the cladding layer to have better flatness and continuity, improving the quality of the cladding layer.
[0059] S3. Correction and post-processing.
[0060] Specifically, after laser cladding, the spindle straightness and roundness are corrected by laser cleaning and annealing to ensure the machining allowance for turning and grinding, and then the spindle is repaired to the preset size by mechanical processing.
[0061] Annealing can make the atoms inside the material obtain enough energy to rearrange, thereby effectively reducing or even eliminating residual stress, reducing the risk of cracking of the cladding layer, and promoting the growth and homogenization of grains, making the organization more stable and uniform, thereby improving the mechanical properties of the cladding layer, such as improving toughness and ductility. In addition, after annealing, the microstructure of the material is optimized, and defects such as grain boundaries and dislocations are reduced, thereby reducing the intrusion channels of corrosive media and improving the corrosion resistance of the cladding layer. It also reduces this hardness difference to a certain extent, making the hardness distribution more gentle, which helps to improve the overall performance and service life of the workpiece.
[0062] In some embodiments, the power of laser cleaning is 1kW to 2kW, the cleaning speed is 0.5m / min to 5m / min, the surface temperature of annealing correction is 900℃ to 1000℃, and then air-cooled, the machining allowance of the spindle is 0.3mm to 0.5mm, and the surface roughness Ra≤0.3.
