Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of laser micromachining, and in particular relates to an air film groove of a high-temperature alloy sealing member, and also relates to a method for preparing an air film groove of a high-temperature alloy sealing member. Background Art
[0002] Among many sealing methods, air film sealing technology has become one of the primary sealing forms for high-temperature, high-speed rotating equipment such as aircraft engines due to its non-contact characteristics. Air film sealing technology uses the special flow characteristics of gas in a tiny gap to form a balanced air pressure support between the upper and lower surfaces. By adjusting the air pressure, the pressure on the upper and lower surfaces is balanced to maintain a stable air film gap. Compared with traditional mechanical contact seals, the non-contact design of air film seals avoids mechanical wear and greatly improves the service life and reliability of the system. Due to the rapid change of gas pressure, air film seals can achieve rapid sealing and isolation, which is suitable for occasions that require frequent switching.
[0003] The current air film seal adopts the traditional laser processing method, which is easy to produce heat-induced defects such as recast layer and micro cracks during laser processing. It is difficult to control the precision and it is difficult to meet the requirements of micron-level precision. The air film seal is prone to aging and performance degradation, and the scrap rate is high. The focus of air film sealing technology is still on the system design optimization of air film sealing. There is no standardization and specification system for air film groove process technology. Due to the complexity of its manufacturing process and high precision requirements, the widespread application of this technology is limited. Therefore, high-quality preparation and process system of air film grooves are crucial. Summary of the invention

[0079] Example 4
[0080] The method for preparing the air film groove of the high-temperature alloy seal of the present invention is specifically implemented according to the following steps:
[0081] Step 1, place the dried high-temperature alloy seal after machining on the three-jaw chuck 8 and fix it, determine the processing position by moving the X-axis motion platform 9 and the Y-axis motion platform 10, move the Z-axis optical path lifting axis 2 to determine the focal length and position, and use a level ruler to adjust the laser scanning galvanometer to keep it parallel to the processing plane.
[0082] Step 2: Import the designed air film groove dimensions into the laser processing system, set the parameters, scan the surface of the high-temperature alloy seal with a nanosecond pulse laser, perform pre-processing of the high-temperature alloy seal, and obtain the microscopic morphology of the air film groove, such as Figure 4 As shown, the air film grooves are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ring. The air film grooves are connected to the inner ring, which can effectively guide the airflow to flow in the sealing groove. When the airflow flows along the arc groove, it will generate inner pressure to form a stable air film, which greatly reduces the friction force on the sealing surface and improves the sealing performance and service life of the high-temperature alloy air film seal.
[0083] Start the laser 1, and import the designed end face and cylindrical air film groove graphics into the controller 7, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the processing parameters of the laser 1 are set. The laser 1 is equipped with a rotating shaft.

By adjusting the rotating shaft and the X-axis motion platform 9 and the Y-axis motion platform 10, the end face of the high-temperature alloy seal and the cylindrical air film groove processing are realized.
[0084] The processing parameters of laser 1 are: processing power 5.6W, scanning speed 800mm / s, pulse width 20ns, repetition frequency 30kHz, and processing times 14 times. The optical microscope pictures of the high-temperature alloy gas film grooves obtained by different filling methods in this embodiment are as follows: Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 (a) Through one-way filling, Figure 5 (b) Through cross filling, Figure 5 (c) Through four-way filling, Figure 5 (d) The six-way filling process is used to fill the gap of 10μm; the surface roughness measured by the contact roughness meter is: 0.380μm for one-way filling, 1.151μm for cross filling, 0.601μm for four-way filling, and 0.301μm for six-way filling. The multi-directional filling method effectively increases the number of internal micro-textures, and forms some micro-guide grooves inside the air film groove, which effectively guides the airflow and reduces the pressure. In addition, the micro-texture leads to the formation of vortices, which resists external interference and protects the air film.
[0085] This embodiment is based on high repetition rate nanosecond pulse laser scanning, and compares the micro-texture changes of the high-temperature alloy gas film groove by different repetition frequencies, such as Figure 6 The following is a confocal scanning microscope image of a high-temperature alloy gas film groove. Figure 6 The repetition frequency of (a) is 10kHz, Figure 6 (b) has a repetition frequency of 20kHz, Figure 6 (c) has a repetition frequency of 30kHz, Figure 6 (d) has a repetition frequency of 40kHz, Figure 6 (e) has a repetition frequency of 50kHz, Figure 6 The repetition frequency of (f) is 60kHz. Adjusting the parameters of the repetition frequency has a significant effect on the micro-texture changes of the high-temperature alloy air film groove, thereby achieving efficient, precise and flexible micro-nano processing and controlling the performance of high-temperature air film sealing.
[0086] The method of determining the focal length and processing position by moving the processing plane is respectively for end face and cylindrical air film groove processing:

[0088] When processing the cylindrical air film groove of the seal, rotate the laser scanning galvanometer 90°, move the X-axis motion platform 9 and the Y-axis motion platform 10, use an infrared rangefinder to determine the focal length, and then etch along the cylindrical surface, and use a laser image measuring instrument to obtain the processing tolerance range and processing level; move the X-axis motion platform 9 and the Y-axis motion platform 10, and then adjust the equipment graphic offset to obtain the precise processing position.
[0089] In the end face and cylindrical air film groove processing positioning method, in order to improve the processing efficiency while ensuring the processing accuracy, the defocus amount is -0.02mm.
