Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of high entropy alloy additive repair, and more specifically relates to a method for arc additive remanufacturing and repairing of sliding bearings of LNG cryogenic submersible pumps. Background Art

[0002] As a clean energy, liquefied natural gas (LNG) is gaining more and more attention in the current era of energy conservation and environmental protection. LNG cryogenic submersible pumps play a vital role in the transportation and transfer of LNG. However, the ball bearings commonly used in LNG cryogenic submersible pumps have a short lifespan under low temperature conditions. After working for a short time, the ball bearings will become unstable and fail. The failure of ball bearings seriously affects the efficiency of LNG transportation and transfer and the safety of equipment operation.

[0003] High entropy alloys have excellent low-temperature mechanical properties and wear resistance, so they are highly valued in materials science and engineering. In the past, alloys may have only one or two main metal components. In the past, the more types of metals added to the alloy, the more brittle the material will be. However, high entropy alloys are different from previous alloys, and many metals will not become brittle. High entropy alloys have excellent mechanical properties, mainly manifested as high strength and high hardness. This property enables high entropy alloys to perform well in various engineering applications and remain stable in a variety of corrosion and extremely low temperature environments. It has high wear resistance and is suitable for applications that need to withstand high wear. Remanufacturing bearings through laser repair of sliding bearings is of great significance to the realization of low-carbon economic development. Summary of the invention
