Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of superconducting ceramic preparation, and in particular to a laser cladding additive manufacturing system and method for YBCO high-temperature superconductors. Background Art

[0002] YBCO high-temperature superconductors have unique properties in electricity, magnetism and energy storage, which makes them have great application prospects in power transmission, high-field magnets, controlled nuclear fusion, medical magnetic imaging, magnetic separation, maglev trains, superconducting energy storage systems, etc. At present, the main forms of YBCO high-temperature superconducting materials are blocks, strips and superconducting films, and the common preparation methods are solid phase reaction method, sol-gel method, pulsed laser deposition method, etc.

[0003] When preparing YBCO high-temperature superconductors by solid-phase reaction method, Y2O3, BaCO3 and CuO powders are fully mixed according to the atomic molar ratio of Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3, then molded and compacted, and sintered at 920℃ for 30-50 hours. When preparing YBCO strips by sol-gel method, Y(NO3)3·6H2O, Ba(NO3)2 and Cu(NO3)2·3H2O are dissolved in ethanol according to the atomic molar ratio of Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3, and the sol is evenly coated on metal strips or other substrates, first dried at low temperature to remove solvents and volatiles, and then sintered at 900-1000℃. When preparing YBCO superconducting thin films by pulsed laser deposition method, laser is irradiated on the surface of target material (Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3), so that the YBCO material on the surface of target material is ablated into gas phase and flies to the surface of substrate to form thin film. The above preparation methods have many disadvantages. When preparing YBCO high-temperature superconductors by solid-phase reaction method, long-term sintering is required and the sintering process may cause composition inhomogeneity problems, especially in mass production, the uniformity of sintering may be limited. Due to the influence of "weak connection" between grains, the sample shape and structure are single, and only cylindrical and tetrahedral structures can be prepared. When preparing YBCO high-temperature superconductors by sol-gel method, the preparation cycle is long, the thickness uniformity is difficult to control, the process is complicated, the mechanical properties are poor, and the quality is difficult to control. When preparing YBCO superconductors by pulsed laser deposition method, the equipment and operation costs are high, the preparation efficiency is low, and there are often structural defects and surface quality problems.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, some scholars have proposed to construct complex structures through 3D printing technology. For example, the application (patent) number is 202410977784.7, which is a method for preparing YBCO high-temperature superconducting materials using photocuring 3D printing technology. The laser is used for curing to obtain a YBCO superconducting structure with fine shape, regular arrangement and high current carrying capacity. The application (patent) number is 202410166679.5, which is a method for preparing high-strength silicon oxide ceramics by photocuring 3D printing. The modified silicon oxide ceramic printing slurry is placed in the photocuring 3D printing equipment, and the silicon oxide ceramic blank is directly formed by the photocuring 3D printing method. The degreasing-sintering treatment is carried out according to the composition of the raw materials to obtain high-strength silicon oxide ceramics. The emergence of 3D printing technology has alleviated the difficult situation of YBCO preparation to a certain extent, realized the rapid prototyping of complex structures, got rid of the constraints brought by molds, and increased the structural diversity and performance diversity of YBCO. However, due to the small amount of spatial freedom, supports need to be added for printing models with cantilevers and hollow structures, which reduces printing efficiency and is greatly restricted in terms of molding speed and large-scale preparation. The limitations of the method itself make it difficult to perform one-step molding. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solution of the present invention is described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 The laser cladding additive manufacturing system for YBCO high-temperature superconductors of the present invention mainly includes key components such as a water chiller 1, a laser 2, a control cabinet 3, a voltage-stabilized power supply 4, a powder feeder 5, a robotic arm 6, a cladding head 7, an infrared temperature sensor, a high-resolution camera, and a turntable 9.

[0032] The laser 2, as the core component of the system, transmits a high-energy laser beam to the cladding head 7 through an optical fiber. The powder feeder 5 is responsible for uniformly and quantitatively feeding the prepared additive manufacturing powder into the nozzle 77 of the cladding head 7. The robot arm 6 has a high-precision six-axis motion capability, which can drive the cladding head 7 to move flexibly in three-dimensional space according to a preset printing path.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3The cladding head 7 is a key component of the laser cladding process, and its structure includes an optical fiber interface 71, a powder separator 72, a protective mirror 73, a first water cooling interface 74, a powder feeding pipe 75, a second water cooling interface 76 and a nozzle 77. The optical fiber interface 71 is used to connect the laser 2 and the cladding head 7 to ensure that the laser beam can be stably and efficiently transmitted to the nozzle 77. The nozzle 77 is responsible for spraying the powder sent by the powder feeder 5 onto the substrate. The powder separator 72 and the powder feeding pipe 75 work together to ensure that the powder can be evenly and continuously fed into the nozzle 77. The protective mirror 73 is used to protect the nozzle 77 from adverse factors such as high temperature and splashing. The first water cooling interface 74 and the second water cooling interface 76 are used to connect the water cooler 1 to provide circulating cooling water for the cladding head 7 to ensure that it can work stably for a long time.

[0034] Infrared temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature of the cladding layer surface to prevent excessively high temperatures from causing degradation of material properties or excessively low temperatures from causing inadequate cladding. High-resolution cameras are used to observe the shape and stability of the laser molten pool in real time and detect defects during the cladding process, such as cracks and pores.

[0035] The water chiller 1 provides circulating cooling water for the laser 2 and the cladding head 7 to keep the temperature of the equipment stable and prevent equipment failure or performance degradation due to excessive temperature. The voltage stabilizer 4 provides continuous power support for the laser and other equipment to ensure stable operation of the system.

[0036] The control cabinet 3 serves as the control center of the system. It is responsible for receiving and processing data from various sensors, and accurately controls the robot arm 6, laser 2, powder feeder 5 and other components according to preset parameters and algorithms to achieve automation and intelligence of the laser cladding process.

[0037] The turntable 9 is used to carry the substrate and can rotate in a horizontal plane so that the robot arm 6 can perform omnidirectional cladding on the substrate according to a preset path.

[0038] The quality of additive manufacturing powder has a significant impact on the laser cladding process and the performance of the final product. Therefore, the present invention adopts a specific powder preparation method to ensure the uniformity, stability and cladability of the powder.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 First, the raw materials including yttrium barium copper oxide target (Y123 atomic ratio Y:Ba:Cu=1:2:3), mixed powder (molar ratio Y211 target:Y035 target is 1:1), Y2O3, BaCO3, CuO mixed powder are put into a mortar at a mass ratio of 1:3.5:2.1, and fully ground with a grinding tool for 5-8 minutes to ensure that the components can be evenly mixed. The ground powder is sieved through a 50-mesh square hole sieve to remove large particles and impurities, and a uniform and fine powder is obtained for use.

[0040] Then, the dried powder is mixed with nanosilver, boric acid, and ethanol in a mass ratio of (100):(2-3):(1-2):(130-150), and placed in a ball mill for ball milling. The purpose of ball milling is to further refine the powder particles and improve the uniformity and cladding properties of the powder. During the ball milling process, the mass of each ball milled mixture is controlled between 200 and 350 g, the ball milling rate is 150-170 r / min, and the ball milling time is 3.5 hours. After the ball milling is completed, the mixture is placed in a dryer and dried at 90°C for 24 hours to remove volatile components such as ethanol. The dried powder is sieved again through a 200-mesh square hole sieve to obtain the final additive manufacturing powder for laser cladding.

[0041] When setting up a laser cladding system, you first need to assemble the components according to the predetermined positions and connect the corresponding cables and pipelines. Then, import the model into the slicing software and generate the printing path according to the geometry and size of the model. When setting the printing path, you need to ensure that there is a 20%-30% overlap between each layer to ensure the continuity and density of the cladding layer.

[0042] The power of laser 2 is one of the important factors affecting the laser cladding process. The present invention sets the laser power between 1000-1100w to ensure that the laser beam has enough energy to melt the powder and solidify it on the substrate. At the same time, the powder feeding speed, powder feeder flow rate and laser head moving speed also need to be precisely controlled. The powder feeding speed is set between 5-10g / min, the powder feeder flow rate is set between 2-5g / min, and the laser head moving speed is set between 10-15mm / s. The reasonable setting of these parameters can ensure the stability and continuity of the cladding process, thereby obtaining a high-quality cladding layer.

[0043] During the laser cladding process, the cladding layer also needs to be monitored and adjusted in real time. Infrared temperature sensors are used to monitor the temperature of the cladding layer surface. When the temperature is too high, it is necessary to reduce the laser power or increase the powder feeding speed to adjust the temperature. High-resolution cameras are used to observe the shape and stability of the laser molten pool in real time and detect defects in the cladding process, such as cracks and pores, so that timely measures can be taken to repair and adjust.

[0044] During the laser cladding process, the powder feeder 5 synchronously feeds the powder into the nozzle 77 of the cladding head 7. The powder ejected from the nozzle 77 meets the laser beam generated by the laser 2 during the flight, and is quickly melted and solidified on the substrate of the turntable 9, forming layers of cladding. Driven by the robot arm 6, the cladding head 7 moves on the substrate according to a preset path until the entire model is completely clad.

[0045] After the cladding is completed, the cladding product 8 needs to be cooled naturally at room temperature. The purpose of natural cooling is to release the residual stress in the cladding layer and avoid defects such as cracks. At the same time, natural cooling can also maintain the stability of the organizational structure and performance of the cladding layer. During the cooling process, the environment needs to be kept clean and dry to prevent dust, moisture and other impurities from contaminating and damaging the cladding layer.

[0046] Since high temperature is generated during laser cladding, part of the oxygen in the material is volatilized or lost, thus affecting the superconducting properties of the final product. Therefore, the present invention performs oxygen permeation treatment on the sample after cladding is completed to restore or increase the oxygen content in the material.

[0047] The oxygen permeation treatment is carried out in an intelligent high-temperature furnace. The clad sample is placed in a high-temperature furnace and heated in an oxygen environment of 0.4-0.44MPa. The temperature gradient is set to 3℃ / min, and the sample is heated to 450-480℃ and kept warm for 30 hours. During this process, oxygen will penetrate into the interior of the sample and combine with defects and vacancies in the material, thereby restoring or increasing the oxygen content in the material. After the oxygen permeation treatment is completed, the sample is taken out for subsequent treatment.

[0048] In order to ensure the surface finish of the Y-Ba-Cu-O block material after cladding, the present invention performs a surface mechanical-fluid composite treatment on the cladding product 8. The surface mechanical-fluid composite treatment includes two steps: mechanical polishing and fluid polishing.

[0049] Mechanical polishing is a rough polishing process, which is mainly used to remove macro defects and unevenness on the surface of the cladding layer. During the mechanical polishing process, diamond polishing paste needs to be added as a polishing medium. Diamond polishing paste is composed of diamond micropowder, polyethylene glycol, polytetrafluoroethylene, paraffin, stearic acid, glycerin, etc., and has good lubrication and polishing effects. When polishing, place the sample on the polishing machine and polish the sample with a polishing wheel wrapped with sandpaper or polishing cloth. The speed of the polishing wheel is set between 300-350r / min, and the sandpaper is gradually changed from coarse to fine until the surface of the sample becomes smooth and flat.

[0050] Fluid polishing is a fine polishing process, which is mainly used to further improve the surface finish of the sample and remove micro defects generated during mechanical polishing. In the fluid polishing process, a two-way reciprocating polishing method is selected, and silicon carbide polymer elastic soft abrasive paste is selected as the polishing medium. Silicon carbide polymer elastic soft abrasive paste is composed of silicon carbide, silicone compounds, viscous additives, etc., and has excellent polishing effect and wear resistance. During polishing, the sample is placed in the polishing tank, and the silicon carbide polymer elastic soft abrasive paste is evenly applied to the surface of the sample with polishing liquid. Then turn on the circulation pump of the polishing machine to circulate the polishing liquid in the polishing tank to polish the sample. The polishing pressure is controlled between 1.5-12MPa, and the polishing time is adjusted according to the surface finish requirements of the sample. After polishing, the sample is cleaned with a cleaning fluid and the surface roughness is tested.

[0051] After surface mechanical and fluid composite treatment, the surface roughness of yttrium barium copper oxide block can reach Ra0.025-Ra0.01μm, meeting the requirements of high-performance superconductors.

[0052] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
