Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of repairing blades of aircraft engines and gas turbines. Background Art

[0002] Some turbine blades for aircraft engines and gas turbines are cast from high-temperature alloys. For example, rotor blades and guide vanes, which are high-temperature parts that operate at temperatures of 1000°C, have serrated crown structures that can improve turbine performance. Turbine blades are extremely susceptible to damage from long-term exposure to high temperatures, high-speed impact, and corrosion. This damage is primarily concentrated in the blade body and serrated crown, causing bending deformation, corrosion spots, pits, and cracks. The crown is particularly susceptible to wear and cracking. High-temperature alloys contain relatively high levels of elements such as Al and Ti, which form dense Al and Ti oxides on the surfaces of fatigue cracks. Mechanical cleaning methods are required to remove oxide films and inclusions from the defective surfaces. Replacing blades with new ones is expensive, so repairing damaged blades helps achieve long-term reuse of blades over multiple cycles, offering extremely high economic benefits.

[0003] Currently, manual argon arc welding (GTAW) is the most common method for blade repair, using CoCrW wire as the welding material. Manual GTAW has a large heat source area and a large heat-affected zone, making it prone to cracks and other defects during the blade repair process. Furthermore, GTAW is also limited by blade size when repairing turbine blades. Excessive heat input can cause deformation in the repaired area, reducing material reliability.

[0004] Laser additive manufacturing, as a repair technology, uses laser as a heat source to apply heat input to the base material and filler material (powder or wire) to melt and combine, and then cool and solidify rapidly to form a weld overlay. Currently, laser powder cladding can achieve precise repair of turbine blade serrated surface wear, sealing tooth wear or cracks. However, the difficulty of densification of laser powder deposition itself greatly restricts its application in blade damage repair. At the same time, the overall thickness of the damaged part of the blade is inconsistent. The use of conventional laser repair technology has the problem of inconsistent matching between the laser power and the thickness of the repaired part, which is prone to defects such as unfused or pits. Therefore, variable power is generally used for processing, but the blade repair forming is still difficult to control accurately, and problems such as ablation of the repair position of the repaired blade and deformation of the substrate often occur. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention aims to solve the problems of unfused and dented parts that are prone to occur in the existing conventional laser repair of high-temperature alloy blades, and the problem that variable power laser repair of high-temperature alloy blades cannot be precisely controlled, resulting in ablation of the repair position and deformation of the substrate, and further provides a method for precise blade repair with laser fuse based on the synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation.

[0006] A method for precision blade repair using laser fuses based on synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation is carried out in the following steps:

[0007] 1. Fixing turbine blades:

[0008] Fix the turbine blade with damaged interlocking surface on the CNC machine tool with a fixture, and keep the interlocking surface at an angle of 20° to 30° with the horizontal plane of the CNC machine tool, and the short side of the interlocking surface is parallel to the X-axis;

[0009] 2. Parameter settings:

[0010] The turbine blade with a damaged interlocking surface is set to swing along the X-axis of the CNC machine tool at a swing speed of 400 mm / min to 1000 mm / min; the swing amplitude of the turbine blade with a damaged interlocking surface along the X-axis of the CNC machine tool is set to l, and the length of the short side of the interlocking surface is set to L, where L>l; the laser beam is set to move along the Y-axis of the CNC machine tool;

[0011] 3. Laser welding dynamic control repair:

[0012] Under the conditions of a swing speed of 400 mm / min to 1000 mm / min, a swing amplitude of 1, a laser beam moving speed of 0.06 m / min to 0.1 m / min, and a wire feeding speed of 0.6 m / min to 0.96 m / min, the interlocking surface is repaired by laser welding using welding wire under dynamic control to obtain a repaired blade.

[0013] The laser welding dynamic control repair is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0014] ① Taking the concave R zone where the interlocking surface and the non-working surface transition are located as the starting point, the laser beam stays in the concave R zone where the interlocking surface and the non-working surface transition are located for 0.5s to 1.0s under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 600W to 800W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm;

[0015] ② Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 550W to 650W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, the laser beam moves on the interlocking surface until it reaches a position 1.5mm to 2mm from the end of the interlocking surface;

[0016] ③ Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 550W to 650W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, the laser beam stays at a distance of 1.5mm to 2mm from the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s to 0.6s;

[0017] ④ Reduce the laser power. Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, move the laser beam on the interlocking surface until it reaches the end of the interlocking surface.

[0018] ⑤ Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, the laser beam stays at the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s to 0.6s;

[0019] ⑥ Under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W~600W, lift the laser head along the Z axis until the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +3mm~+4mm, and then under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W~600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +3mm~+4mm, the laser beam stays at the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s~0.6s;

[0020] ⑦ Under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W, lift the laser head along the Z axis for the second time, then turn off the CNC machine tool and the laser, and take out the repaired blade;

[0021] 4. Machining:

[0022] The interlocking surfaces of the repaired blades are mechanically processed to restore their original appearance, thus completing a method for precision blade repair using laser fuses based on the synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0024] The preparation method for laser fuse blade repair based on the synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation is to fix the blade on a specific fixture, and then use a CNC machine tool to swing the turbine blade with damaged interlocking surface along the X-axis direction to increase the scanning area during the laser fuse repair process. The dynamic adjustment refers to the dynamic change of the laser beam output power in different surface areas of the blade repair position during the laser fuse process. At the same time, the laser beam is paused at different repair positions to compensate for the unstable fusion problem caused by variable power during the fuse process. For laser fuse repair of interlocking surface wear, the laser head needs to be lifted at the end of the repair position so that the repair position reaches a certain thickness to form a covering weld layer.

[0025] The main advantages of using this method to repair turbine blades are as follows:

[0026] 1. Using CNC machine tools to swing turbine blades with damaged interlocking surfaces can increase the scanning area during laser welding, reduce the number of welds, avoid problems such as poor fusion that are prone to occur with multiple welding paths, and precisely repair damaged blade parts. At the same time, the swing amplitude can be changed according to the different blade models and sizes, which can repair different damaged parts on the blade and has greater adaptability.

[0027] 2. Dynamic energy adjustment: By controlling the output of the laser beam power and changing the defocus, the overall morphology of the surfacing layer at the repair location is reshaped, solving problems such as lack of fusion, depression, ablation at the repair location, and substrate deformation. At the same time, gradient power can repair blades of various models, helping to obtain a well-formed surfacing layer and improving the repair quality and pass rate of the blade repair location.

[0028] 3. Compared with oscillating laser wire feeding, the oscillation of the workpiece enables the laser beam to always act evenly on the base material and the wire, ensuring consistent energy distribution between the base material and the wire. However, oscillating laser fuse repair uses the oscillation of the galvanometer to achieve the oscillation of the beam, which makes the beam energy distribution inconsistent, easily causing fuse instability during the repair process.

[0029] 4. Compared with traditional argon arc welding and laser powder feeding repair, the laser fuse repair has a close bond between the surfacing layer and the base material, no defects at the interface, a more uniform structure, no cracks, pores and other defects inside the surfacing layer, and a thickness of 3mm, leaving a certain margin for subsequent machining.

[0030] The present invention is used for a method for precisely repairing blades by laser fuse based on synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and energy dynamic regulation. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0044] The laser welding dynamic control repair is specifically carried out according to the following steps:

[0045] ① Taking the concave R zone where the interlocking surface and the non-working surface transition are located as the starting point, the laser beam stays in the concave R zone where the interlocking surface and the non-working surface transition are located for 0.5s to 1.0s under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 600W to 800W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm;

[0047] ③ Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 550W to 650W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, the laser beam stays at a distance of 1.5mm to 2mm from the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s to 0.6s;

[0048] ④ Reduce the laser power. Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, move the laser beam on the interlocking surface until it reaches the end of the interlocking surface.

[0049] ⑤ Under the conditions that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +2mm to +3mm, the laser beam stays at the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s to 0.6s;

[0050] ⑥ Under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W~600W, lift the laser head along the Z axis until the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +3mm~+4mm, and then under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W~600W and the focal length of the laser beam on the interlocking surface is +3mm~+4mm, the laser beam stays at the end of the interlocking surface for 0.4s~0.6s;

[0051] ⑦ Under the condition that the laser beam output power is 500W to 600W, lift the laser head along the Z axis for the second time, then turn off the CNC machine tool and the laser, and take out the repaired blade;

[0052] 4. Machining:

[0053] The interlocking surfaces of the repaired blades are mechanically processed to restore their original appearance, thus completing a method for precision blade repair using laser fuses based on the synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation.

[0054] In step one of this specific implementation method, the damaged area of ​​the serrated crown of the high-temperature alloy turbine blade is firstly inspected for damage to determine the types of wear and crack defects, the blades with worn interlocking surfaces are picked out, and the blades with damaged interlocking surfaces are polished and cleaned with minimal grinding loss to the substrate. During repair, regardless of the size of the damaged area of ​​the interlocking surface, the entire interlocking surface is mechanically cleaned and then repaired.

[0055] In steps 3 ⑥ and ⑦ of this specific embodiment, the laser head is lifted along the Z axis to repair the end of the damaged surface, ensure a certain processing allowance at the end, and also to prevent excessive heat input at the end from causing ablation problems.

[0056] The beneficial effects of this specific embodiment are:

[0057] The preparation method for laser fuse blade repair based on the synchronous coordination of workpiece swing and dynamic energy regulation is to fix the blade on a specific fixture, and then use a CNC machine tool to swing the turbine blade with damaged interlocking surface along the X-axis direction to increase the scanning area during the laser fuse repair process. The dynamic adjustment refers to the dynamic change of the laser beam output power in different surface areas of the blade repair position during the laser fuse process. At the same time, the laser beam is paused at different repair positions to compensate for the unstable fusion problem caused by variable power during the fuse process. For laser fuse repair of interlocking surface wear, the laser head needs to be lifted at the end of the repair position so that the repair position reaches a certain thickness to form a covering weld layer.

[0058] The main advantages of using this method to repair turbine blades are as follows:

[0059] 1. Using CNC machine tools to swing turbine blades with damaged interlocking surfaces can increase the scanning area during laser welding, reduce the number of welds, avoid problems such as poor fusion that are prone to occur with multiple welding paths, and precisely repair damaged blade parts. At the same time, the swing amplitude can be changed according to the different blade models and sizes, which can repair different damaged parts on the blade and has greater adaptability.

[0060] 2. Dynamic energy adjustment: By controlling the output of the laser beam power and changing the defocus, the overall morphology of the surfacing layer at the repair location is reshaped, solving problems such as lack of fusion, depression, ablation at the repair location, and substrate deformation. At the same time, gradient power can repair blades of various models, helping to obtain a well-formed surfacing layer and improving the repair quality and pass rate of the blade repair location.

[0061] 3. Compared with oscillating laser wire feeding, the oscillation of the workpiece enables the laser beam to always act evenly on the base material and the wire, ensuring consistent energy distribution between the base material and the wire. However, oscillating laser fuse repair uses the oscillation of the galvanometer to achieve the oscillation of the beam, which makes the beam energy distribution inconsistent, easily causing fuse instability during the repair process.

[0077] 2. Parameter settings:

[0078] The turbine blade with a damaged interlocking surface is set to swing along the X-axis of the CNC machine tool at a swing speed of 600 mm / min.
