Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of laser cladding equipment, and in particular to a laser cladding thin-walled parts anti-thermal deformation fixture and an oil cooling integrated device and method. Background Art

[0002] Laser Cladding Technology, as an advanced technology for surface modification, can be traced back to 1974, when it was first proposed by Gnanamuthu of ACVO EVERETT RES LABINC in the United States and was granted patent number US3952180A. The introduction of this technology marks the beginning of basic research in the field of laser cladding. In the early days, due to the limitations of laser technology, the industrialization progress of this technology was significantly restricted. However, with the breakthrough and maturity of high-power laser technology in the 21st century, laser cladding technology has been rapidly widely used in the industry.

[0003] This technology mainly involves using a high-energy laser beam as a heat source to precisely melt pre-selected materials such as powder or wire onto the surface of the base material, and forming a uniform and dense cladding layer by controlling the melting and rapid solidification process. The significant features of laser cladding technology include low dilution rate, small heat input and applicability to a variety of materials, making it have wide application potential in many fields.

[0004] In laser cladding technology, the choice of fixture is crucial to achieve precise and efficient operation. The three-jaw chuck is a commonly used fixture suitable for fixing cylindrical or shaft-shaped parts. Its three evenly distributed claws ensure stable rotation of the workpiece, thereby achieving a uniform cladding layer. For larger or irregularly shaped workpieces, the four-jaw chuck provides higher stability with its more gripping points, which is particularly suitable for precise cladding. The magnetic fixture uses magnetic force to quickly and stably fix easily magnetized materials, which is particularly suitable for small or thin-walled parts and improves work efficiency. The application of these fixtures has greatly improved the accuracy and efficiency of the laser cladding process and provided a flexible solution for processing workpieces of various materials and shapes. However, for the clamping of thin-walled parts in laser cladding technology, magnetic fixtures are currently susceptible to high temperatures during laser cladding, and demagnetization may occur, resulting in weakened magnetism. In addition, for thin-walled parts, the clamping force of the magnetic fixture may be insufficient, causing the parts to bend or deform due to thermal stress during the cladding process. At present, the main defects of laser cladding equipment include the large size of the refrigeration equipment and the large dilution rate of the high-temperature coating when cladding the surface of common steel materials such as 304 and 316L. These problems affect the space efficiency of the equipment and the coating quality, and need to be solved through technical improvements. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above technical problems, the present invention provides a laser cladding thin-walled parts anti-thermal deformation fixture and oil cooling integrated device and method, which can adapt to the clamping of thin-walled parts of different sizes, effectively prevent the thermal stress deformation of thin-walled parts, reduce the possibility of cracks in the cladding layer, and can perform real-time oil cooling, effectively improving the quality of the cladding layer, refining the grains, and reducing the dilution rate.

The oil enters the first oil inlet 38 of the first vacuum heat conducting pipe 18 of the water cooling box 15 through the first bridge interface 36 of the heat dissipation integrated box 4, and under the action of the first oil pump 16, flows out from the first oil outlet 40 of the second vacuum heat conducting pipe 19 of the water cooling box 15, and then continues to flow through the second bridge interface 37 of the heat dissipation integrated box 4, and the oil enters the second oil cooling pipe 19 through the second oil inlet 27. The oil passes through the third bridge interface 34 and enters the second oil inlet 39 of the third vacuum heat pipe 20 again. The oil flows out from the oil outlet 41 of the fourth vacuum heat pipe 21 under the push of the second oil pump 12, and enters the first oil cooling pipeline 29 from the first oil inlet 10 through the fourth bridge interface 35 to complete the entire cooling cycle. The outflowing oil finally returns to the first oil inlet 10, forming a closed circulation system, ensuring the continuous flow and effective cooling of the oil.

[0070] The method further comprises the following steps:

[0071] The oil flows out of the oil outlet 41 of the fourth vacuum heat pipe 21, enters the oil inlet 32 ​​of the laser cladding head 11 through the fifth bridge interface 8, and then flows out from the oil outlet 31 of the laser cladding head 11 through the sixth bridge interface 33 to enter the second oil inlet 39 of the third vacuum heat pipe 20. Under the push of the second oil pump 12, the oil flows out from the oil outlet 41 of the fourth vacuum heat pipe 21, enters the first oil cooling pipeline 29 from the first oil inlet 10 through the fourth bridge interface 35, and completes the entire cooling cycle.

[0072] The following steps are also included:

[0073] The temperature sensor detects the oil temperature signal at the first oil outlet 28 and the second oil outlet 9 and transmits it to the controller. The controller adjusts the motor speed according to the temperature signal, thereby adjusting the flow rate of the cooling oil in the first oil pump 16 and the second oil pump 12.

[0074] The present invention can clamp any plate-shaped thin-walled parts and perform real-time oil cooling on them, so as to effectively prevent the thin-walled parts from deforming due to thermal stress during the laser cladding process. The device integrates a table body, an oil cooling circuit, a water cooling box, an oil pump and a clamp. Through a pressure plate clamp device, the thin-walled parts can be clamped according to their size, effectively preventing the deformation of the parts caused by thermal stress, thereby effectively reducing the generation of cracks in the cladding layer. In addition, the real-time oil cooling is achieved by the two-way oil cooling pipeline soldered to the clamped oil-cooled integrated desktop 3, and the cooling oil flows in opposite directions. The temperature of the oil in the pipeline will not increase due to the increase in the area of ​​the cladding layer, resulting in a poor cooling effect. A stable cooling effect can be obtained when cladding is performed at any position on the desktop, thereby reducing the solidification time of the cladding layer, refining the grains, and improving the mechanical properties of the coating. The present invention integrates integrated cooling, integrates the two-way oil cooling pipeline, the laser cladding head cooling pipeline and related cooling components inside the table body, and is equipped with a micro piston oil pump, a cold water tank and a controller, further improving the convenience of operation and cladding efficiency. The present invention can not only effectively improve the quality of the cladding layer, refine the grains, and reduce the dilution rate, but also effectively integrate the cladding equipment. The present invention realizes efficient processing and protection of thin-walled parts, and provides a new technical means for the application of laser cladding technology in the field of thin-walled parts processing.

[0075] In a specific embodiment of the present invention:

[0076] The NbMoTaW refractory high entropy alloy powder was ball milled for 20 hours and dried for 4 hours.

[0077] Laser cladding is carried out using coaxial powder feeding laser cladding method.

[0078] A sector-shaped 316L stainless steel with a radius of 500 mm, a sector center angle of 300°, and a thickness of 8 mm is clamped on the clamped oil-cooled integrated desktop 3 through a clamp 2 .

[0079] The laser beam travel path is set on the robot controller. To ensure work efficiency, a "Z" shaped cladding line is required. The powder feeding speed is 17g / min, the overlap rate is 30%, the offset is 4.5mm, the laser parameters are 2500W, 8mm / s, the spot diameter is 5mm, and the shielding gas is argon with a purity of ≥99.9wt%.

[0080] Before starting the laser cladding, the substrate 1 and the oil-cooled integrated desktop 3 are cooled for 5 minutes, and the refrigeration equipment is turned on for pre-cooling.

[0081] Laser cladding is then carried out. Thanks to the two-way oil cooling circuit, as the cladding layers in different areas are completed at different time periods, the oil cooling capacity exposed to any cladding node is uniform, and the two-way oil cooling pipeline heat dissipation structure provides a more stable heat dissipation mode for the cladding layer.

[0082] After the experiment was completed, metallographic analysis was performed on samples taken at different time points and in different areas.

[0083] Combination Fig.15 As shown, Fig.15 (A) is the metallographic diagram obtained from the equipment test of this embodiment, Fig.15 (B) is the metallographic image obtained from the test of the existing equipment. By comparison, it is found that the metallographic images obtained from the test of the present invention show that the cladding layers at different time points are dense and uniform, the uniformity of grain distribution is significantly improved, and the grain size at different heights of the cladding layer varies little, indicating that the equipment of the present invention has obvious advantages in controlling grain growth. Compared with the laser cladding NbMoTaW coating at room temperature, the grains are significantly refined and the structure is more dense, resulting in a significant improvement in hardness, wear resistance and corrosion resistance. In addition, the dilution rate is significantly reduced, and the metallurgical bonding quality of the cladding layer and the substrate is further optimized, reducing the adverse effects of the substrate material on the coating performance during the cladding process. This improvement significantly improves the overall performance and applicability of the cladding coating, providing a more efficient solution for industrial applications.

[0084] At the same time, due to the existence of the pressure plate fixture 2, the thermal stress of the high plasticity base material such as 316L can be well restrained to avoid serious deformation of thin-walled parts.

[0085] After the cladding work is completed, a certain amount of powder will be wasted due to the coaxial powder feeding process itself. The powder can be swept through the desktop clamp threaded hole to the bottom plate of the clamped oil-cooled integrated desktop 3 for recycling and reuse.
