TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of metal material surfacing, and particularly relates to a magnetic control plasma arc wire-powder collaborative surfacing device and a surfacing method. BACKGROUND
[0002] Arc surfacing is a common material surface modification technology. It uses the heat generated by an electric arc to melt the base material and the cladding metal (wire or powder), so that the base material and the cladding metal are metallurgically combined, thereby obtaining a surface cladding layer with special properties. This method is currently widely used in petrochemical equipment, aerospace, weapons industry, energy and power equipment, etc. For example, surfacing of corrosion-resistant coatings on the inner wall of oil pipelines, surfacing of wear-resistant coatings on the guide teeth of tank track plates, surfacing repair of damaged gas turbine blades, etc. However, the current method has the following problems: 1) During the surfacing process, the cladding metal is usually one of wire or powder, and the cladding metal composition is single, making it difficult to obtain a surfacing layer metal with composite properties; 2) When using powder surfacing, a large part of the cladded powder will be blown away before entering the molten pool under the action of the welding shielding gas, reducing the utilization rate of the powder; 3) During the surfacing process, the direction and rate of the cladding metal entering the molten pool are random and uncontrollable, leading to unstable performance of the cladding layer; 4) In order to obtain a surfacing process with good forming (front forming and cross-sectional morphology), appropriate dilution rate, and stable surfacing process, the welding arc energy, wire (or powder) feeding speed, and wire (or powder) feeding angle need to be precisely controlled, and the parameters interact with each other, making the debugging process complex; 5) The wire or powder feeding alone has low cladding rate and low arc energy utilization rate; 6) The arc is easily affected by the surrounding magnetic field during the surfacing process, making the surfacing process unstable and leading to various surfacing defects; 7) Most surfacing welding guns are bulky and can only be used for surfacing on special machines, with low surfacing automation. These problems limit the application of arc surfacing in industrial production.
[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a magnetic control plasma arc wire-powder collaborative surfacing device that is controllable in terms of arc, direction, and rate of the cladding metal entering the molten pool, has a stable surfacing process, and has adjustable and controllable chemical composition of the cladding layer and high cladding rate. With the designed magnetic control plasma arc wire-powder collaborative surfacing device, robot surfacing can be realized, the degree of automation of surfacing can be improved, and the labor cost of surfacing can be reduced.

[0036] As preferred in the present application, the arc is a compressed arc, a beam-expanding arc, etc. By adjusting the working state of the welding torch (including the processing position and working angle of the welding torch) by the robot, further left and right swinging and forward and backward swinging of the arc are realized, and then the state of the cladding metal powder entering the molten pool of the substrate (including the spraying direction, spraying angle and spraying speed of the cladding metal powder) is adjusted by the magnetic field, so as to adjust the forming and properties of the cladding layer. By adjusting the direction of the inner nozzle, the powder feeding direction can be adjusted, so as to adjust the forming of the cladding layer, such as the width, thickness and dilution rate of a single cladding layer.
[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:
[0038] 1. The welding torch has a compact structure and good weld accessibility, and can be used for robot surfacing;
[0039] 2. The wire-powder collaborative surfacing has a high surfacing rate and high arc energy utilization rate;
[0040] 3. The magnetic control arc can obtain different arc states, which is conducive to adjusting the properties, thickness and width of the cladding layer;
[0041] 4. The magnetic control arc can also improve the proportion of the cladding metal entering the molten pool and improve the utilization rate of the cladding metal;
[0042] 5. The powder is fed inside the welding torch, which greatly reduces the structure size of the wire-powder collaborative surfacing system and improves the weld accessibility;
[0043] 6. The wire-powder integrated collaborative surfacing can well adjust the properties of the cladding layer and obtain composite cladding layer properties;
[0044] 7. By adjusting the direction of the inner nozzle assembly, the angle and direction of the build-up welding can be easily adjusted, thereby facilitating the shaping of the cladding;
[0045] 8. The wire feeding mechanism has simple structure and the wire feeding position is convenient to adjust;
[0046] 9. The specially designed welding gun fixing support facilitates the connection between the welding gun and the robot and can greatly improve the operable space of welding.
[0047] 10. The electromagnetic field introduced by the welding gun can also act on the molten pool, realizing the regulation and control of the microstructure and performance of the cladding metal and improving the microstructure and performance of the cladding layer. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS

[0122] The present application discloses a surfacing method using the magnetron plasma arc wire powder collaborative surfacing device, which is characterized by comprising the following steps:
[0123] S1 Determine the type and amount of cladding metal to be introduced based on the substrate material and the required composite properties;
[0124] S2 fixes the substrate on the workbench, adjusts the welding gun to the set position, and then uses the built-in and external inert gases of the welding gun to provide real-time tracking gas protection to the substrate's processing area;
[0125] S3 The welding torch of the magnetron plasma arc wire powder collaborative cladding device is energized, and a controllable arc is formed between the welding torch and the substrate. The arc is compressed to form a plasma arc;
[0126] S4 delivers the cladding metal powder to the processing area on the surface of the substrate in a set state. Under the action of the plasma arc, the substrate and the cladding metal powder are melted, so that the substrate and the cladding metal powder are fused with each other;
[0127] S5 The welding torch extinguishes the arc, and the part of the substrate to be processed cools down under the protection of the shielding gas sprayed by the welding torch, forming a cladding layer on the surface of the substrate.
[0128] In some embodiments of the present application, during the fusion process between the substrate and the cladding metal powder, a cladding metal welding wire is fed into the area of the substrate to be processed. The wire feeding mechanism can adjust the feeding position and angle of the cladding metal welding wire.
[0129] In some embodiments of the present application, the cladding powder delivered by the welding gun and the welding wire delivered by the wire feed mechanism can be the same material or different materials. The properties of the two materials can be the same, similar, or complementary, and the properties of the resulting cladding layer can be the properties of a single material or a composite of the two materials.
[0130] Specifically, the cladding metal welding wire and the cladding metal powder can adopt different performance materials as cladding materials, so as to obtain a cladding layer with composite performance. For example, a combination of a wire material with good toughness and a powder with high hardness can obtain a composite cladding layer with high hardness and good toughness, avoiding the problem of poor toughness of a pure high-hardness material.
[0131] The working current introduced by the welding torch is a variable polarity current, which can introduce different types of electromagnetic fields to control the arc during cladding to achieve different cladding purposes.
[0132] The arc is a compressed arc, a beam-expanding arc, etc. By regulating the working state of the welding torch (including the machining position and working angle of the welding torch) by the robot, further left and right swinging and forward and backward swinging of the arc are realized, and then the state of the cladding metal powder entering the molten pool of the base material (including the spraying direction, spraying angle and spraying speed of the cladding metal powder) is regulated by the magnetic field, so that the formation and performance of the cladding layer can be adjusted. By adjusting the direction of the inner nozzle, the powder feeding direction can be adjusted, so that the formation of the cladding layer, such as the width, thickness and dilution rate of a single cladding layer, can be adjusted.
[0133] In the magnetic control plasma arc wire and powder synergistic surfacing device of the present application, the powder feeding direction during surfacing can be adjusted and controlled by rotating the inner nozzle assembly, and the powder feeding angle can also be adjusted and controlled by replacing the inner nozzle. Different magnetic fields are arranged during surfacing to control the arc and the powder fed into the arc. The arc can be compressed, beam-expanding, rotating, etc., and the powder fed into the arc can be increased in temperature, speed, ionization, utilization rate, etc. The magnetic field arranged during surfacing can also act on the molten pool, and through stirring of the two materials in the molten pool, uniform mixing of the two materials can be realized, and refinement of the cladding layer metal can be realized.
[0134] The above examples are intended to illustrate the disclosed embodiments of the present application and should not be construed as limiting the present application. In addition, various modifications listed herein and changes in the method and composition of the invention are obvious to those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present application.

In fact, various modifications such as those described above to obtain the invention that are obvious to those skilled in the art should be included within the scope of the present application.
