Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of plasma spraying of high-entropy ceramic coatings, and in particular to a method and device for spraying a composite coating using laser shock thermal imaging based on vision guidance. Background Art

[0002] Controlling crack initiation and propagation during the plasma spraying of high-entropy ceramic coatings remains a challenge. Due to the complex interplay between thermal stress, material properties, and spraying parameters, cracks are prone to forming on the coating surface. These cracks not only affect the coating's mechanical properties, such as strength and toughness, but also severely degrade its overall performance, limiting its application in high-temperature and complex operating conditions.

[0003] Furthermore, traditional spray coating technologies generally lack effective real-time monitoring and feedback mechanisms. Most spray coating processes rely on preset spray parameters (such as current, gas flow, and powder feed rate), making it impossible to monitor crack formation in real time during the spraying process. This prevents timely detection of cracks and the implementation of control measures, resulting in the problem not being effectively addressed at its source. Furthermore, cracks during the spraying process often expand, affecting the final coating quality.

[0004] Furthermore, existing coatings often have limited performance, primarily because most spray coating techniques utilize a single material. This single material cannot achieve optimal gradients in the coating, resulting in an inability to achieve an optimal balance between strength and toughness under complex operating conditions such as high temperature and high pressure, limiting the coating's effectiveness in practical applications.

[0005] In summary, existing technologies have the following shortcomings: First, there is a lack of real-time monitoring, which prevents the timely detection and treatment of coating cracks after they form; second, there is a delay in adjustment, with crack detection and repair performed only after spraying, making it impossible to effectively control problems in the early stages of coating application; third, the coating has a single performance characteristic, making it difficult to optimize coating performance according to the needs of different parts, and unable to meet the comprehensive coating requirements under complex working conditions.

[0053] The following describes in detail embodiments of the present application, examples of which are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the present application, and should not be construed as limiting the present application.

[0054] In response to the problems of crack generation and expansion in the current high-entropy ceramic coating preparation process, the embodiment of the present application provides a laser shock thermal imaging composite coating spraying method based on vision guidance. By real-time detection of coating cracks, prediction of crack size and automatic adjustment of spraying parameters, a closed-loop feedback system is formed, thereby achieving optimized control of coating quality.

[0055] Figure 1 A schematic flow chart of a method for spraying a composite coating using laser shock thermography based on vision guidance provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0056] In the embodiment of the present application, the laser shock thermal imaging composite coating spraying method based on vision guidance is to Figure 2 The system architecture shown is implemented.

[0057] like Figure 1 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0058] Step 101: generating a transient thermal response on the coating surface by laser shock, and using a high-speed infrared thermal imager to collect the temperature field distribution on the coating surface in real time.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, laser shock technology is used to generate a transient thermal response on the coating surface. Specifically, when the laser beam is irradiated to the coating surface, the high energy density of the laser causes the coating surface to heat up rapidly and produces temperature fluctuations in a short period of time. This thermal response is instantaneous and is closely related to the physical properties of the coating surface (such as thickness, thermal conductivity, etc.) and the presence of cracks. Cracks or discontinuities often lead to abnormal heat flow, which manifests as different temperature gradients.

[0060] To accurately capture this process, a high-speed infrared thermal imager is used to capture the temperature distribution of the coating surface in real time. By sensing the infrared radiation emitted by the coating surface, the infrared thermal imager can accurately measure the surface temperature distribution and quickly scan to obtain a complete temperature field image. Due to the infrared thermal imager's high-speed imaging capability, it can capture temperature changes in a very short time, even at the millisecond to microsecond level, which is critical for real-time monitoring of crack initiation and growth.

[0061] It's clear that by acquiring temperature data on the coating surface, it's possible to analyze temperature gradients in different regions, thereby inferring the location, size, and potential growth trends of cracks. This thermal response data provides the foundation for subsequent crack size prediction and adaptive adjustments to the spraying process, enabling more precise and real-time control of the entire spraying process, preventing crack growth and optimizing coating performance.

[0062] Step 102 : Identify the crack location based on the temperature field distribution on the coating surface, and obtain thermal response characteristics of the crack region on the coating surface. The thermal response characteristics include real-time temperature and temperature gradient data of the crack region.

[0063] In the embodiment of the present application, by Figure 2 The thermal response data acquisition unit shown is used to obtain the thermal response characteristics of the crack area on the coating surface.

[0064] Figure 3 A schematic flow chart of the thermal response feature acquisition process provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0065] Reference Figure 3 First, based on the temperature field distribution of the coating surface, the temperature data in the time series are averaged to obtain a smooth temperature field. The average temperature field is obtained by summing and averaging the temperature values ​​at different positions on the coating surface at multiple time points. The calculation expression of the average temperature field is:

[0066]

[0067] Where, is the average temperature field at position (x,y), T(x,y,ti ) is the position (x, y) and time point t i The temperature value of , N is the total time points in the time series.

[0068] After obtaining the average temperature field, find the area with the highest temperature. This is usually the heat source area, which corresponds to the crack or other coating discontinuity. By removing the heat source area from the original temperature field, the error caused by the heat source interference can be eliminated.

[0069] Next, the temperature field gradient is calculated after removing the heat source area. The temperature gradient reflects the rate of temperature change, and the crack area usually exhibits different gradient characteristics than the normal area.

[0070] Then, a preset threshold A is used to segment the temperature gradient image, dividing the image into crack area and non-crack area, and checking whether the area of ​​the crack area after threshold segmentation is within the preset range. If not, adjust the threshold A to A±0.02 and re-perform the threshold segmentation until the area of ​​the crack area after threshold segmentation is within the preset range to determine the location of the crack.

[0071] Once the crack location is determined, each frame of the thermal image at the crack location is processed and the ambient temperature is subtracted to obtain real-time temperature and temperature gradient data for the crack area. This data accurately reflects the temperature changes and thermal response characteristics of the crack, providing key information for subsequent crack size prediction and spray process adjustments.

[0072] Step 103: Establish a nonlinear mapping model between the crack thermal response characteristics and the crack size, and use a deep neural network for training. Input the thermal response characteristics after data preprocessing into the trained deep neural network to predict the size and spatial position of the crack in real time.

[0073] In the embodiment of the present application, before inputting the thermal response features into the deep neural network, the data needs to be preprocessed to improve the prediction accuracy and stability of the model. The preprocessing mainly includes two aspects:

[0074] (1) Normalization: Through normalization, feature data of different scales are converted to a uniform range to avoid the influence of large numerical features on neural network training. The commonly used normalization method is to scale the data to the interval [0, 1] or standardize it using the mean and standard deviation to make the distribution of each feature more uniform, which helps to accelerate the convergence of the network.

[0075] (2) Noise Filtering: Due to various interference factors during the acquisition process, the thermal response data may contain noise. Using a filtering algorithm (such as median filtering or Gaussian filtering) to remove noise helps to clearly extract the true crack characteristics and avoid unnecessary interference with model training.

[0076] In the present embodiment, pre-processed thermal response characteristic samples are fed into a deep neural network, which is trained to learn the nonlinear relationship between crack thermal response characteristics and crack dimensions (e.g., width and depth). The deep neural network can automatically extract complex features and patterns from a large amount of training data, thereby establishing an effective mapping model. This model can accurately map the coating's thermal response data to the size and location of the crack.

[0077] Specifically, a labeled training data set (including known crack size and thermal response characteristics) is used to train a deep neural network. During the training process, the deep neural network continuously adjusts its internal parameters to minimize the error between the predicted results and the actual values. Common optimization algorithms include gradient descent, which aims to continuously optimize the network weights through the backpropagation algorithm, so that the network's prediction accuracy on new data gradually improves. This application does not specifically limit or explain this.

[0078] The trained deep neural network can receive new thermal response feature data in real time and use the model to infer the size (width and depth) of cracks and their location on the coating surface. This process can be carried out in real time during the spraying process, ensuring that cracks can be detected and controlled in a timely manner, thereby ensuring coating quality.

[0079] Finally, the thermal response characteristics after data preprocessing are input into the trained deep neural network to predict the size and spatial position of the crack in real time.

[0080] Step 104 , target spraying parameters are set based on the predicted crack size information, spraying process parameters are adjusted in real time through a self-feedback PID control system, and material ratios are dynamically adjusted using a multi-channel powder feeding system to achieve the formation of a gradient composite coating.

[0081] In an embodiment of the present application, target spraying parameters (such as spraying current, gas flow, feed speed and multi-channel powder feeding rate) are further set based on the crack size information predicted by the deep neural network, and the spraying parameters are dynamically adjusted according to the real-time crack data through a self-feedback PID control system to ensure the accuracy and stability of the spraying process.

[0082] The spray current controls the energy density of the plasma and is a key parameter affecting the melting state of the sprayed particles. A higher current fully melts the particles, improving the coating's bonding strength; a lower current is suitable for spraying thin coatings or fine features. The gas flow rate regulates the morphology and stability of the plasma jet. A high flow rate enhances the jet's penetration, facilitating the spraying of thick coatings or materials with high melting points; a low flow rate is suitable for spraying thin coatings with high uniformity requirements. The feed rate adjusts the speed at which the spray gun moves relative to the workpiece, directly affecting the thickness and uniformity of the coating. Faster speeds are suitable for rapid spraying of large areas, while slower speeds can enhance the thickness and strength of localized coatings. Multi-channel powder feed rates precisely control the feed ratio of different powders (such as high-entropy alloys and ceramic powders). By dynamically adjusting the powder feed rate of each channel, gradient optimization can be achieved in different areas of the coating, such as increasing the amount of high-entropy alloy to improve toughness or increasing the amount of ceramic powder to improve wear resistance.

[0083] After adjusting the spraying process parameters, multiple powder feeding channels are used during the spraying process to supply high-entropy alloy powder and ceramic powder respectively, providing multiple material sources for coating formation, and dynamically adjusting the rate of each powder feeding channel according to the coating performance requirements and real-time crack information.

[0084] Furthermore, the embodiment of the present application also adds high entropy alloy as a toughening phase material in areas prone to cracking, thereby improving the toughness of the coating and preventing crack expansion and further damage.

[0085] It should be noted that after each round of spraying is completed, the embodiment of the present application adjusts the spraying strategy based on the real-time feedback of the working condition changes and the coating quality. These feedback information may include changes in the crack area, the uniformity of the coating thickness, and the evaluation results of the performance indicators. Then, based on the adjusted spraying strategy, the next round of spraying process is entered to ensure that the performance of the coating in different areas is optimally configured. For example, in areas with greater stress, the proportion of toughness material can be increased, while in areas with higher wear resistance requirements, ceramic powder can be increased.

[0086] Thus, the entire process forms a closed-loop system. Through the process of real-time crack detection - size prediction - parameter adjustment, the spraying parameters are continuously optimized to ensure the dynamic adaptability of coating quality and crack control.

[0087] In one possible embodiment, the generated gradient composite coating is shown in FIG. Figure 5 As shown, HEC is a ceramic and HEA is a high entropy alloy. This schematic shows the gradual change in composition and properties of the coating from the surface to the substrate.

[0088] In order to implement the above embodiment, the present application also proposes a laser shock thermal imaging composite coating spraying device based on vision guidance.
