Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of laser intelligent manufacturing, and in particular relates to a non-equilibrium reaction wetting behavior analysis device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of industrial technology, the use of single traditional materials can no longer meet the growing industrial needs. The use of composite structures made of heterogeneous materials can fully combine the advantages of different materials, which is of great significance in reducing costs, reducing weight, and alleviating resource shortages. In the field of heterogeneous material connection, laser connection is highly favored due to its advantages such as small heat-affected zone, high efficiency, fast and high efficiency. Among them, laser brazing technology, as an improved laser welding technology, can greatly reduce the formation of brittle compounds in the joint, thereby improving the connection quality.

[0003] For the connection of heterogeneous materials, the wetting behavior between materials is a key factor affecting the connection quality. Good wettability means that good metallurgical bonding can occur between materials. Therefore, in the process of heterogeneous material connection, clarifying the wetting characteristics of heterogeneous materials is of great significance for the process development of different material systems. However, most of the current research on wettability is based on isothermal conditions under high vacuum, and its implementation mainly relies on high-temperature wetting furnaces. In terms of wetting, there is a huge difference between the wetting behavior under laser processing and the wetting behavior under isothermal conditions, such as shorter heating time, different atmosphere environments, the use of flux, and strong non-uniform temperature fields. These significant differences have a subversive effect on the wetting behavior during the processing, making it difficult for the relevant theories of traditional isothermal wetting research to describe the laser processing process. In the actual production process, the selection of filling materials, the optimization of process parameters, and the selection of protective atmosphere depend on the workers' own technical experience and a large number of experimental explorations, which leads to the need to consume a lot of manpower and material resources for the process development of different material systems. Therefore, it is very meaningful to carry out research on the non-equilibrium wetting behavior of heterogeneous materials under laser processing. This research has important theoretical guiding significance for the selection of filling materials, optimization of process parameters, selection of protective atmosphere, etc. in the welding process. It can effectively save experimental resources, reduce dependence on workers' experience, improve efficiency, and promote the development of intelligent manufacturing in the heterogeneous material laser welding industry.

[0052] Embodiment 2: Figure 1 to Figure 4 As shown, a method for using a non-equilibrium reaction wetting behavior analysis device is implemented based on a non-equilibrium reaction wetting behavior analysis device described in Example 1, and includes the following steps:

[0053] Step 1: Open the device cabin 21, place the substrate 51 and the sample to be melted 52 on the test lifting platform 41, and adjust the test lifting platform 41 and the external lifting bracket 42 so that the upper surface of the sample to be melted 52, the background light source 32 and the industrial camera 31 are in the same straight line;

[0054] Step 2: close the device cabin 21, and perform air extraction or air filling treatment in the cabin 21 through the external interface 25;

[0055] Step three, start the laser, the laser processing head 11 generates a laser beam 12, the laser beam 12 forms a laser spot on the sample to be melted 52, adjust various parameters of the laser, maintain continuous output of the laser beam 12, so that the sample to be melted 52 spreads after melting, and record the melting and spreading process of the sample to be melted 52 in real time through the industrial camera 31 and the temperature sensor for subsequent analysis.

[0056] Adjusting the various parameters of the laser includes adjusting the laser power and the defocus amount. The adjustment range of the laser power is 100W-5000W, and the adjustment range of the defocus amount is -20mm~+40mm.

[0057] The spot size corresponding to different defocus amounts can be measured by adjusting the defocus amount, and the test energy density can be obtained by calculating the ratio of laser power to spot size. For actual laser processing parameters, the linear energy density is the ratio of laser power to welding rate. The design guidance of laser processing parameters can be achieved by matching the relationship between the test energy density and the linear energy density.

[0058] The present invention provides two practical research situations:

[0059] The first actual research situation uses a fiber laser with a wavelength of 1060nm. The material system to be welded is AZ31 magnesium alloy and 304 stainless steel. The device cabin is made of 10mm steel, and the external interface is connected to argon and nitrogen in turn. The background light source uses a laser with a wavelength of 532nm and a power of 30W. During the process, an industrial CCD camera is used for shooting, and a wavelength 532nm filter is installed on its surface. The temperature measurement system is realized by arranging a non-contact infrared sensor inside the cabin.

[0060] The specific steps are:

[0061] 1) Process the 304 substrate into a cuboid with a size of 15mm×15mm×3mm, and prepare the AZ31 magnesium alloy into a cube with a size of 3mm×3mm×3mm. Open the device cabin, place the 304 stainless steel substrate and the AZ31 magnesium alloy block on the test lifting platform, and adjust the test lifting platform and external lifting bracket to make the AZ31 magnesium alloy block, background light source and CCD industrial camera in the same straight line.

[0062] 2) Close the device cabin and fill the cabin with argon gas with a purity of 99.9%.

[0063] 3) Place the laser spot at the center of the AZ31 magnesium alloy block, adjust the defocus to +15mm so that the laser spot can cover the processed AZ31 magnesium alloy block, set the irradiation time to 2s, and set the laser power to 1350W according to the actual welding process line energy density conversion value of 300J / mm2. Turn on the laser input so that the AZ31 magnesium alloy block spreads on the stainless steel surface after melting. The wetting and spreading process and surface temperature evolution process of the magnesium alloy block are recorded simultaneously at a rate of 20 frames / second by a CCD industrial camera and a non-contact infrared sensor.

[0064] 4) After the test, take out the sample and repeat the above steps 1) to 3). During step 2), replace the gas flushed into the cabin with 99.9% nitrogen. The effect captured by the process camera is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the outline is clear and complete, which is convenient for analyzing the wetting and spreading mechanism.

[0065] The curves of wetting angle, spreading radius and temperature changing with time are drawn, and based on the relevant theories of wetting and spreading dynamics, the spreading rate of the dynamic wetting process and the spreading results of the final state are analyzed. The spreading process mechanism is analyzed, and the influence mechanism of argon and nitrogen on the wetting and spreading process is compared to achieve the optimization of argon and nitrogen. According to the time when the wetting angle or spreading radius tends to be stable and no longer changes during the spreading, the heat input demand in the inverse calculation process is inverted, and the optimization of the actual laser welding process parameters is guided according to the calculation results. For example, the comparison results show that at the same time, argon has a smaller wetting angle and a larger spreading radius than nitrogen, so the optimization of argon shielding gas can be completed. In the wetting and spreading process, the droplets tend to be stable when the irradiation time is about 1s. In the actual welding process, the laser power can be appropriately reduced or the welding rate can be increased within 50%.

[0066] The second actual research situation uses a CO2 laser with a wavelength of 10.6μm and an ordinary circular spot. The material system to be welded is 5mm thick 6061 aluminum alloy and DP590 high-strength steel. The cabin material is 20mm thick acrylic. The background light source uses a 100W xenon lamp as an auxiliary light source. Two CCD cameras are used in the process to take pictures from two vertical directions at the same time to compare the differences in wetting behavior in different directions. A bandpass filter with a wavelength of 808nm is installed on its surface.

[0067] The specific steps are:

[0068] 1) Process the DP590 steel substrate into a cylinder with a diameter of 30mm and a height of 5mm, and melt the ER1100 welding wire into a cylinder with a diameter of 4mm and a height of 2mm. Open the device cabin, place the DP590 steel substrate and the ER1100 cylinder on the test lifting platform, and adjust the test lifting platform and external lifting bracket to make the ER1100 cylinder, background light source and CCD industrial camera in the same straight line.

[0069] 2) Close the device cabin and inflate the cabin with argon gas with a purity of 99.99% for protection.

[0070] 3) Place the laser spot at the center of the ER1100 cylinder, adjust the defocus to +30mm so that the laser spot can cover the processed ER1100 cylinder, set the irradiation time to 1s, and set the laser power to 4400W according to the actual welding process line energy density conversion value of 350J / mm2. Turn on the laser input so that the ER1100 cylinder spreads on the surface of the DP590 steel substrate after melting. Two CCD industrial cameras and contact thermocouple sensors are used to simultaneously record the wetting and spreading process and surface temperature evolution process of the ER1100 cylinder in the orthogonal direction at a rate of 30 frames / second.

[0071] 4) After the test, the sample is taken out, and the above steps 1) to 3) are repeated. In step 1), the sample to be melted is replaced with ER4043 and ER4047 cylinders of the same size. The wetting and spreading process and surface temperature evolution process of ER4043 and ER4047 aluminum alloys on the surface of DP590 steel substrate are recorded in sequence under the same parameters.

[0072] The curves of wetting angle, spreading radius and temperature changing with time are drawn, and based on the relevant theory of wetting and spreading dynamics, the spreading rate of the dynamic wetting process and the spreading results of the final state are analyzed to analyze the spreading process mechanism, and the influence mechanism of ER1100, ER4043 and ER4047 on the wetting and spreading process is compared to achieve the optimization of welding wire types. The general analysis process is as follows. During the test, ER1100 has the best wetting effect and reaches a stable state at 0.8s. The wetting effects of ER4047 and ER4043 are not much different, and they reach a stable state at 0.9s. At this time, it is necessary to combine the spreading rate and the temperature evolution curve for further judgment. It is found that the peak temperature of the ER1100 thermal cycle is high and the duration is long, which is easy to generate Fe-Al brittle compounds. ER4047 has the smallest thermal cycle peak temperature. Only Fe-Al-Si ternary phase is generated at this temperature, and the toughness is relatively good. Therefore, we can choose ER4047 as the optimal filler material in the welding process. Since the wetting and spreading stable state is reached at about 0.9s, when optimizing the actual welding process, the laser power can be reduced or the welding rate can be increased within a range of 10%.
