Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of repair and remanufacturing. Background Technology
[0002] Large metal components often experience localized cracking, wear, or even fracture during use due to original manufacturing defects or special service conditions, becoming potential or direct factors contributing to overall component failure. Given the high cost of replacing large components entirely, repair welding to maintain structural integrity and delay further failure is crucial. Tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, due to its low cost and flexibility, is a primary method for defect repair. However, this technology currently has several limitations.
[0003] In the repair of large components with complex curved surfaces, the uneven thickness and discontinuous geometric dimensions of the complex curved surface structure make conventional welding methods difficult to adjust, and stress concentration is prone to occur. Furthermore, to ensure sufficient penetration in the repaired area, a large welding heat input is often used to maintain the fluidity of the molten pool. However, a large heat input can lead to coarse microstructure in the repaired area, generating significant residual stress and deformation around the repaired area. Simultaneously, it weakens the properties of the base material near the repair interface due to heat, and may even directly induce secondary cracks under the influence of residual stress.
[0004] Existing technologies still have significant shortcomings in terms of the microstructure and properties of the repaired area, interface matching, and residual stress control. There is an urgent need to develop a new welding repair method to achieve high-quality and efficient welding repair of complex curved surface components. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention aims to address the problem that the large heat input used in the repair process of large components with complex curved surfaces leads to coarse microstructure in the repair area, resulting in large residual stress and deformation around the repair area. At the same time, the base material near the repair interface is affected by heat, causing performance weakening and even secondary cracking. Therefore, this invention provides a welding repair method for complex curved surfaces based on multi-source ultrasonic action.
[0006] A method for welding and repairing complex curved surfaces based on multi-source ultrasonic action, comprising the following steps:
[0007] I. Defect Pre-processing:
[0008] Pre-process the defective or cracked areas of the complex curved surface to be repaired to remove the defects or cracks, obtain the area to be repaired, and then determine the repair path;
[0009] II. Equipment Preparation:
[0010] Connect the welding torch to the ultrasonic pulse welding power source, then fix the welding torch to the end of the repair robot's movement, with the mechanical ultrasonic roller positioned behind the welding torch and in contact with the area to be repaired;
[0011] III. Welding Repair:
[0012] The mechanical ultrasonic system is started, and the mechanical ultrasonic roller continuously outputs mechanical vibration. The ultrasonic frequency pulse welding power supply is started, and the filler wire is fed in synchronously. The welding torch moves along the repair path to repair the defect. The filler wire and the base material melt under the heating of the ultrasonic frequency pulse electric arc heat source, forming a molten pool and solidifying and depositing at the defect location.
[0013] IV. Repair complete:
[0014] After the defect repair is completed, turn off the ultrasonic pulse welding power supply, wait for the molten pool to solidify completely, and then turn off the mechanical ultrasonic system. This completes the complex curved surface welding repair method based on multi-source ultrasonic action.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0016] Ultrasonic Excitation and Molten Pool Property Modulation by Ultrasonic Pulsed Current: Under the action of ultrasonic pulsed current, compared with conventional welding arcs, ultrasonic pulsed arcs contract due to thermal delay and electromagnetic contraction effects, concentrating their heat source energy, increasing arc pressure, and improving arc stiffness. Optimized arc stiffness improves the directional nature of the arc as a melting heat source; the increased heat source energy density further enhances the heating efficiency of the molten pool metal, causing an overall increase in the molten pool metal temperature. The temperature change experienced by the molten pool metal reduces its viscosity, making it easier to flow; the increased pressure gradient resulting from the increased arc pressure promotes greater tangential pressure, further promoting molten pool flow. Furthermore, because arc plasma has a wide frequency response range, when the current pulse frequency is modulated to the ultrasonic frequency, the plasma as a whole changes at the ultrasonic frequency. At this time, the arc plasma acts like an ultrasonic transducer, exciting arc ultrasound under the excitation of ultrasonic pulsed current and acting on the molten pool.
[0017] Ultimately, under the action of ultrasonic pulsed current, the directionality of the heat source increases and the heating efficiency improves, achieving the same effect as conventional welding repair methods with low heat input.
[0018] Multi-source ultrasonic synergistic regulation of the solidification process: Under the action of mechanical vibration ultrasound, a wheeled amplitude transformer transmits ultrasonic vibration to the interior of the workpiece. When the ultrasonic energy propagates along the solid phase of the base material to the front of the solid-liquid interface of the molten pool, acoustic reflection and refraction occur. At this time, the ultrasonic energy will be transmitted into the molten pool. Since the liquid cannot vibrate, a large sound pressure will be generated at the liquid phase front of the solid-liquid interface. Simultaneously, this ultrasonic energy and the ultrasonic energy transmitted into the molten pool by the arc-excited ultrasound work together to promote the ultrasonic frequency vibration of the liquid phase molecules at the liquid phase front of the solid-liquid interface. During this vibration, displacement will occur between metal molecules, thereby promoting the generation of cavitation bubbles. Under the continuous action of ultrasonic energy, the cavitation bubbles at the solid-liquid interface front will annihilate, creating local high temperature and high pressure, impacting the solidified grains at the solidification front of the solidification interface, and increasing the temperature gradient range, thus increasing compositional supercooling. The solid phase front at the solid-liquid interface will also vibrate under the continuous action of ultrasound, and stress concentration will occur on its surface, leading to the formation of local microcracks, which will eventually crack, achieving dendrite fragmentation during the solidification process.
[0019] Ultimately, under the synergistic effect of multi-source ultrasound, the solidification behavior at the solid-liquid interface front of the molten pool in the repaired region was affected. On the one hand, multi-source ultrasound promoted cavitation behavior of the liquid phase in the molten pool and fracture of solid grains; on the other hand, it caused local supercooling at the solid-liquid interface front. Together, they regulated the solidification behavior and promoted grain refinement.
[0020] Multi-source ultrasonic grain-coordinated deformation and residual stress relief: Based on the control of solidification behavior by multi-source ultrasound, finer solidified grains are generated. These smaller grains are easier to rotate, facilitating the flow of liquid metal between grains and promoting reflow healing, thereby reducing shrinkage deformation resistance during solidification. Simultaneously, because the mechanical ultrasonic transducer follows the welding torch, the mechanical ultrasound continuously acts on the weld structure during the solidification of the molten pool, causing stress relaxation. This effectively suppresses the generation of secondary hot cracks on thin-walled complex curved surfaces, thus improving the weld repair success rate.

[0029] Specific implementation method one, combined with Figure 1 Detailed explanation: This embodiment describes a method for welding and repairing complex curved surfaces based on multi-source ultrasonic action, which is carried out according to the following steps:
[0030] I. Defect Pre-processing:
[0031] Pre-process the defective or cracked areas of the complex curved surface to be repaired to remove the defects or cracks, obtain the area to be repaired, and then determine the repair path;
[0032] II. Equipment Preparation:
[0033] Connect the welding torch to the ultrasonic pulse welding power source, then fix the welding torch to the end of the repair robot's movement, with the mechanical ultrasonic roller positioned behind the welding torch and in contact with the area to be repaired;
[0034] III. Welding Repair:
[0035] The mechanical ultrasonic system is started, and the mechanical ultrasonic roller continuously outputs mechanical vibration. The ultrasonic frequency pulse welding power supply is started, and the filler wire is fed in synchronously. The welding torch moves along the repair path to repair the defect. The filler wire and the base material melt under the heating of the ultrasonic frequency pulse electric arc heat source, forming a molten pool and solidifying and depositing at the defect location.
[0036] IV. Repair complete:
[0037] After the defect repair is completed, turn off the ultrasonic pulse welding power supply, wait for the molten pool to solidify completely, and then turn off the mechanical ultrasonic system. This completes the complex curved surface welding repair method based on multi-source ultrasonic action.
[0038] The mechanical ultrasonic vibration section of this specific embodiment includes an ultrasonic transducer and an amplitude transformer. The ultrasonic transducer converts the electrical signal output from the ultrasonic power supply into mechanical vibration, which is then transmitted to the metal component via the wheeled amplitude transformer. The ultrasonic frequency pulse arc output section uses a pulse welding power supply based on SiC power devices, with a pulse output frequency range of 20kHz to 100kHz. The repair robot section is used to fix the welding torch, allowing it to move along a predetermined trajectory to achieve repair welding.
[0039] This specific embodiment achieves efficient filling under low heat input conditions and optimizes the microstructure of the repaired area by coupling arc-excited ultrasound with mechanical ultrasonic vibration, thereby controlling the energy distribution of the welding heat source and the flow / solidification behavior of the molten pool. Specifically, this embodiment modulates the arc pulse frequency to the ultrasonic frequency to achieve precise control of the heat source energy, thereby adjusting the physical properties of the molten pool during the repair welding process of complex curved components, promoting molten pool flow behavior, and reducing the acoustic impedance coefficient of the melt. The arc, excited by ultrasonic frequency pulsed current, excites ultrasound, and the synergistic effect of the ultrasonic vibration on the molten pool in the repaired area subjectes it to multidimensional disturbance, further promoting the flow behavior of the molten pool, improving the solidification process and solidification microstructure, thereby improving the repair quality, optimizing the microstructure of the repaired area, improving the interface relationship between the fusion line of the repaired area and the base material, increasing the bonding strength between the repaired area and the base material, and reducing secondary defects in the repair, especially showing significant effects in controlling porosity, cracks, and residual stress.
[0040] This specific implementation introduces multi-source ultrasonic assistance into the repair and remanufacturing process of complex curved surface components. It regulates the formation, expansion, and solidification of the molten pool in the repair area during key stages, ensuring sufficient flow, uniform solidification, and grain refinement of the molten pool. Simultaneously, multi-source ultrasound effectively mitigates the impact on the heat-affected zone of the base material during repair, reducing residual stress generated during the repair process.
[0041] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are:
[0042] Ultrasonic Excitation and Molten Pool Property Modulation by Ultrasonic Pulsed Current: Under the action of ultrasonic pulsed current, compared with conventional welding arcs, ultrasonic pulsed arcs contract due to thermal delay and electromagnetic contraction effects, concentrating their heat source energy, increasing arc pressure, and improving arc stiffness. Optimized arc stiffness improves the directional nature of the arc as a melting heat source; the increased heat source energy density further enhances the heating efficiency of the molten pool metal, causing an overall increase in the molten pool metal temperature. The temperature change experienced by the molten pool metal reduces its viscosity, making it easier to flow; the increased pressure gradient resulting from the increased arc pressure promotes greater tangential pressure, further promoting molten pool flow. Furthermore, because arc plasma has a wide frequency response range, when the current pulse frequency is modulated to the ultrasonic frequency, the plasma as a whole changes at the ultrasonic frequency. At this time, the arc plasma acts like an ultrasonic transducer, exciting arc ultrasound under the excitation of ultrasonic pulsed current and acting on the molten pool.
[0043] Ultimately, under the action of ultrasonic pulsed current, the directionality of the heat source increases and the heating efficiency improves, achieving the same effect as conventional welding repair methods with low heat input.
[0044] Multi-source ultrasonic synergistic regulation of the solidification process: Under the action of mechanical vibration ultrasound, a wheeled amplitude transformer transmits ultrasonic vibration to the interior of the workpiece. When the ultrasonic energy propagates along the solid phase of the base material to the front of the solid-liquid interface of the molten pool, acoustic reflection and refraction occur. At this time, the ultrasonic energy will be transmitted into the molten pool. Since the liquid cannot vibrate, a large sound pressure will be generated at the liquid phase front of the solid-liquid interface. Simultaneously, this ultrasonic energy and the ultrasonic energy transmitted into the molten pool by the arc-excited ultrasound work together to promote the ultrasonic frequency vibration of the liquid phase molecules at the liquid phase front of the solid-liquid interface. During this vibration, displacement will occur between metal molecules, thereby promoting the generation of cavitation bubbles. Under the continuous action of ultrasonic energy, the cavitation bubbles at the solid-liquid interface front will annihilate, creating local high temperature and high pressure, impacting the solidified grains at the solidification front of the solidification interface, and increasing the temperature gradient range, thus increasing compositional supercooling. The solid phase front at the solid-liquid interface will also vibrate under the continuous action of ultrasound, and stress concentration will occur on its surface, leading to the formation of local microcracks, which will eventually crack, achieving dendrite fragmentation during the solidification process.
[0045] Ultimately, under the synergistic effect of multi-source ultrasound, the solidification behavior at the solid-liquid interface front of the molten pool in the repaired region was affected. On the one hand, multi-source ultrasound promoted cavitation behavior of the liquid phase in the molten pool and fracture of solid grains; on the other hand, it caused local supercooling at the solid-liquid interface front. Together, they regulated the solidification behavior and promoted grain refinement.
[0046] Multi-source ultrasonic grain-coordinated deformation and residual stress relief: Based on the control of solidification behavior by multi-source ultrasound, finer solidified grains are generated. These smaller grains are easier to rotate, facilitating the flow of liquid metal between grains and promoting reflow healing, thereby reducing shrinkage deformation resistance during solidification. Simultaneously, because the mechanical ultrasonic transducer follows the welding torch, the mechanical ultrasound continuously acts on the weld structure during the solidification of the molten pool, causing stress relaxation. This effectively suppresses the generation of secondary hot cracks on thin-walled complex curved surfaces, thus improving the weld repair success rate.
