[0043] The application discloses a numerical simulation method for laser welding of molybdenum-rhenium alloy and stainless steel dissimilar materials, and is realized according to the following steps:
[0044] Step 1, a molybdenum-rhenium alloy / stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint is prepared, and a molten pool morphology of the joint is obtained.
[0045] The existing laser welding process is used to prepare the molybdenum-rhenium alloy / stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint. After the metallographic sample at a proper position of the joint is cut by using a wire cut electrical discharge machine, the sample is polished and observed by using an optical microscope, and the molten pool morphology of the joint is obtained.

[0048] Step 2-2, Vickers hardness testing is performed on the joint, the average value of the microhardness of the weld metal is obtained, and the yield strength of the weld metal at room temperature is converted by using the following formula:
[0049]
[0050] In the formula, σ y represents the yield strength, that is, the stress value at which plastic deformation of the material begins, and the unit is megapascal (MPa) ; H v is the Vickers hardness, and the unit is Vickers hardness unit (HV) ; and m is a Meyer hardness coefficient, and different materials have different Meyer hardness coefficients.
[0051] Step 2-3, energy spectrum analysis is performed on the weld area of the joint, the component proportion of the weld metal is obtained, and the high-temperature performance parameters of the weld metal are calculated by using JMatPro calculation software, the high-temperature performance parameters of the weld metal including density, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, yield strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and thermal expansion coefficient.
[0052] Step 3, a thermal-structure calculation model of the laser welding process of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy / stainless steel dissimilar material is established.
[0053] Step 3-1, according to the joint molten pool shape in the experiment, the finite element mesh model of the joint was established by using Hypermesh finite element pre-processing software. In order to improve the calculation efficiency while ensuring the calculation accuracy, the mesh was dense to sparse from the weld to the molybdenum-rhenium alloy base metal side and from the weld to the stainless steel base metal side. During the welding process, the temperature gradient of the weld and the heat affected zone changed greatly, so the dense mesh was used in this part; while the temperature gradient of the area far away from the weld changed relatively small, so the relatively sparse mesh was used. The established joint finite element mesh model was exported in the form of.inp file, and this file was imported into MSC.Marc finite element software;
[0054] Step 3-2, the thermal physical property parameters and mechanical property parameters of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy base metal, the stainless steel base metal and the weld metal were respectively assigned to the corresponding parts of the joint in the form of table.

[0057] Step 4-2, according to the actual molten pool shape, the upper molten pool of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy / stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint was wide, and the lower molten pool was narrow. Therefore, the welding heat source model of the combination of double ellipsoid heat source and cylindrical heat source was selected. According to the welding conditions in the experiment, the related heat source parameters were set, including the welding path, the laser power, the welding heat efficiency, the welding speed, etc.
[0058] Step 5, the analysis task of laser welding was established and submitted for solving.

[0060] Step 5-2, the laser welding analysis task was submitted. First, the temperature field of the joint was solved, and the temperature field of each node was obtained. The stress field calculation used the thermal-elastic-plastic finite element calculation method, that is, the temperature field results of each node were loaded as thermal load to the structure analysis finite element model, so as to solve the stress and displacement of the whole welding process. After the calculation was completed, the calculation result post-processor was entered to obtain the temperature field and stress field of the molybdenum-rhenium alloy / stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding process.
[0061] Embodiment
[0062] A numerical simulation method for laser welding of molybdenum-rhenium alloy and stainless steel dissimilar materials is described in combination with the accompanying drawings, taking the calculation of laser welding of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy and 316L stainless steel dissimilar materials as an example.
[0063] The chemical composition (wt.%) of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy is as follows:
[0064]
[0065] The chemical composition (wt.%) of 316L stainless steel is as follows:
[0066]
[0067] The following steps are specifically implemented:
[0068] Step 1, prepare Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint, and obtain the molten pool morphology of the joint;
[0069] Under the welding process of laser power of 2200W and welding speed of 2m / min, the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint is prepared. Mo-5Re and 316L are respectively corroded using corresponding corrosion reagents, and then microstructure observation is performed to obtain the molten pool morphology of the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel laser welding joint as shown in Figure 1
[0070] Step 2, obtain the performance parameters of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy base metal, 316L stainless steel base metal and weld metal through experiments and calculations;
[0071] Step 2-1, obtain the thermal physical performance parameters and mechanical performance parameters of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy and 316L stainless steel with temperature change, including density, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, yield strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio and thermal expansion coefficient, by means of tensile property test experiment, linear expansion test experiment, thermal physical property test experiment and related literature materials.
[0072] Step 2-2, Vickers hardness test is performed on the joint obtained in this example, the Vickers hardness values of 20 point positions on both sides of the weld center are measured, and the interval between each point is 0.1mm. The loading force is 200gf during measurement, and the holding time is 10s. The microhardness test results of the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding joint are shown in Figure 2
[0073]
[0074] wherein σ y represents the yield strength, i.e. the stress value at which the material begins to plastically deform, in units of mega pascal (MPa); H v is the Vickers hardness, in units of Vickers hardness units (HV); m is the Meyer hardness coefficient, which is different for different materials. The Meyer hardness coefficient of the dissimilar material welded joint metal in the present example is the sum of the Meyer hardness coefficients of the two base metals, which is 4.3, and the yield strength σy of the welded joint metal at room temperature is 359 MPa.
[0075] Step 2-3, energy spectrum analysis was performed on the welded joint area of the joint obtained in the experiment in the present example, and the analysis results are shown in Table 2. Figure 3 The mass proportions of the chemical components of the welded joint metal were introduced into the JMatPro calculation software to calculate the high-temperature performance parameters of the welded joint metal, including density, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, yield strength, elastic modulus, Poisson's ratio, and thermal expansion coefficient, and the calculation results are shown in Table 3. Figure 4
[0076] Step 3, a thermal-structure calculation model of the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel dissimilar material laser welding process was established.
[0077] Step 3-1, the finite element mesh model of the joint was established by using the Hypermesh finite element pre-processing software in combination with the actual morphology of the molten pool obtained in the experiment in the present example, wherein the sizes of the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy and the 316L stainless steel were all 100 mm x 50 mm x 3 mm. In order to improve the calculation efficiency while ensuring the calculation accuracy, the mesh was dense to sparse from the weld to the base metal side. During the welding process, the temperature gradient of the weld and the heat-affected zone changes greatly, and this part needs to use the encrypted mesh; while the area far away from the weld, the temperature gradient changes relatively small, and relatively sparse mesh can be used. The obtained mesh model is shown in Table 4, the mesh element type of the whole joint is 8-node hexahedral element, the total number of nodes is 111957, and the total number of elements is 94400. The established joint mesh model was exported in the.inp file format, and this file was imported into the MSC.Marc finite element software. Figure 5
[0078] Step 3-2, the obtained thermal physical performance parameters and mechanical performance parameters of the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy, the 316L stainless steel and the welded joint metal were respectively assigned to the corresponding joint parts in the form of a table.
[0079] Step 4, the initial conditions, boundary conditions and heat source model of the laser welding model were set.
[0080] Step 4-1, set the initial temperature of the welded joint as the ambient temperature 25℃ in the initial condition; set the boundary condition of the temperature field, comprehensively consider the convection and thermal radiation, load in the form of convection, and set the total heat transfer coefficient as 3.3×10 -5 According to the actual welding conditions, the displacement constraint of the joint is set to limit the rigid displacement of the joint during the welding process. In this example, as shown in Figure 5 three-point constraints and vertical constraints are applied to the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy and 316L stainless steel two base materials far from the weld edge to prevent displacement of the joint during the welding process;
[0081] Step 4-2, according to the actual molten pool morphology, a combined heat source of double ellipsoid + cylinder as shown in Figure 6 is established in this example to simulate the heat input in the laser welding process. The total heat input Q of the combined heat source is:
[0082] Q = ηP = n1Q + n2Q
[0083] n1 + n2 = 1
[0084] In the formula, η is the welding thermal efficiency, which is 0.9; P is the laser power; n1 and n2 are the distribution coefficients of the double ellipsoid and the cylindrical heat source, respectively, n1 is 0.4, and n2 is 0.6.
[0085] The heat flux density (q1 and q2) distribution of the upper part of the double ellipsoid heat source is defined as:
[0086]
[0087] In the formula, H1 is the action height of the double ellipsoid in the plate thickness direction; a1, a2, b, and c are ellipsoid shape parameters; f1 and f2 are front and rear ellipsoid heat distribution functions, and f1 + f2 = 2.
[0088] The heat flux density (q V ) of the lower part of the cylindrical heat source is defined as:
[0089]
[0090] H = d - H1
[0091] In the formula, H is the action height of the cylindrical heat source; d is the plate thickness; r0 is the action radius; r is the distance of a certain point in the arc coverage area from the center of the heat source.
[0092] The welding path of this example is a straight line path for ordinary butt joint, the laser power P used is 2200W, and the welding speed is 2m / min.
[0093] Step 5, establish the analysis task of laser welding and submit the solution;
[0094] Step 5-1, the whole welding analysis task is divided into two analysis conditions of welding and cooling, the welding condition time is 3s, and the cooling condition is 4000s. The convergence criterion method is residual stress or displacement, and the convergence tolerance is 0.1. The unit type is set to No. 7 thermal-structural analysis entity unit. After selecting the required output results such as temperature, stress and displacement, the establishment of the analysis task is completed.
[0095] Step 5-2, submit the analysis task, first solve the joint temperature field to obtain the temperature field of each node.
[0096] During welding, heat spreads from the high-temperature part of the workpiece to the low-temperature part in the form of heat conduction. The heat transfer phenomenon during welding can be calculated and analyzed by Fourier's law:
[0097]
[0098] In the formula, T is the temperature field to be solved (℃); λ is the thermal conductivity (J·mm -1 ·s -1 ·℃ -1 ); q v is the heat generation power of the internal heat source (J·mm -3 ); ρ is the density (g·mm -3 ); c P is the constant-pressure heat capacity (J·g -1 ·℃ -1 ); t is the heat transfer time (s).
[0099] The stress field calculation adopts the thermal-elastic-plastic finite element calculation method, that is, the temperature field results of each node are loaded to the structural analysis finite element model as thermal load, so as to solve the stress and displacement of the whole welding process.
[0100] After calculation, enter the calculation result postprocessor to obtain the temperature field and stress field of the Mo-Re / 316L dissimilar material laser welding process.
[0101] From Figure 7 (a) The temperature field cloud chart during welding can be seen that with the movement of the welding heat source, the temperature field on both sides of the welding test plate is asymmetrically distributed. The isotherm on the Mo-5Re side is relatively sparse compared with the 316L side. Because the thermal conductivity of Mo-5Re is greater than that of 316L, the high-temperature area on the Mo-5Re side is wider. Figure 7 (b) is the temperature field distribution cloud chart of Mo-5Re / 316L weld cross section. The gray area in the figure is the area with temperature higher than the melting point of Mo-5Re (2500℃), that is, the welding pool. The white dotted line is the shape of the actual welding joint pool. It can be seen that the calculated and experimental pool shapes are basically consistent.
[0102] From Figure 8It can be seen that the residual stress distribution of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel laser welded joint on the left and right sides has significant difference, the transverse ( Figure 8 (a)) and longitudinal ( Figure 8 (b)) residual stress is mainly concentrated near the fusion zone on the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy side, the longitudinal residual peak stress is 490 MPa, and the transverse residual peak stress is 345 MPa. The fusion zone on the Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy side will be the weak position of the whole joint, which should be paid attention to during service.
[0103] The displacement distribution cloud map of Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel laser welded joint after 10 times amplification in the plate thickness direction (Y) is shown in Figure 9 The Mo-5Re molybdenum-rhenium alloy / 316L stainless steel welded joint produces small overall deformation, and due to the uneven distribution of transverse shrinkage in the plate thickness direction, the joint produces certain angular deformation, and the maximum deformation is only 0.312 mm.
[0104] The above is only the preferred example of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, the present application can have various modifications and changes. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made to the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
