Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of laser deposition, and specifically relates to a method and device for controlling the equiaxed transformation of an immersion ultrasonic laser composite additive repair area. Background Art
[0002] Due to long-term service in harsh environments, key components of high-end equipment are prone to surface and structural damage. Laser deposition technology can achieve surface strengthening, repair, and remanufacturing of key components, thereby extending the service life of key components. During the laser additive repair process, rapid solidification occurs, which easily leads to the formation of coarse columnar crystals, resulting in obvious anisotropy in the additive repair area and seriously affecting the performance of the laser additive repair area.
[0003] The ultrasonic composite laser additive repair technology can promote the transformation of columnar crystals in the additive repair area into equiaxed crystals through the cavitation and acoustic streaming effects of ultrasound, realize the equiaxialization of the microstructure in the additive repair area, reduce the anisotropy in the additive repair area, and improve the quality of laser additive repair parts. Currently, the equiaxialization of the laser additive repair area has been achieved by introducing ultrasound during the additive repair process, but there is a lack of a method for controlling the equiaxialized area, making it difficult to meet the requirements for controlling the microstructure equiaxialization in the additive repair area of key components.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a method to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a method and device for controlling the equiaxialization of an immersion ultrasonic laser composite additive repair area. By conducting ultrasound through a wire, parameters such as the position of the wire and the ultrasonic intensity are changed, and in combination with the relevant theories of the formation of equiaxed microstructures, the equiaxialization of the microstructure in a specific area and range of the additive repair area is achieved, and a corresponding implementation device is designed.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0007] An immersion ultrasonic laser composite additive repair area equiaxialization control method, characterized in that it specifically includes the following steps:
[0008] S1. Establish the positional geometric relationship between the wire and the laser beam;
[0009] S2. Establish the relationship between the input of laser energy and the melting of the wire;
[0010] S3. Establish the relationship between the equiaxialized additive repair area and the parameters of the wire immersed in the molten pool;
[0011] S4. Realize the control of the equiaxialization of the laser additive repair area based on immersion ultrasound.
[0012] Further, in step S1, the specific process of establishing the positional geometric relationship between the wire and the laser beam is as follows:
[0013] Define the wire diameter and the laser beam spot diameter as d wire and d beam , with the unit of mm. The distance between the wire center and the laser beam spot center is the wire-laser spacing d gs , with the unit of mm. The wire feeding angle is α, the laser scanning direction is the x-axis direction of the coordinate axis, the deposition direction is the y-axis direction of the coordinate axis, and the z-axis direction is determined according to the right-hand rule. Therefore, the area S las of the area directly irradiated by the laser on the wire region has the following projection expression in the xOz plane:
[0014] (1)
[0015] Further, in step S2, the specific process of establishing the relationship between the laser energy input and the wire melting is as follows:
[0016] When the laser energy distribution is Gaussian, based on the laser power P, the area S las of the area directly irradiated by the laser on the wire, the time t of the laser acting on the wire, and the laser energy absorption rate A, the heat source energy of the laser acting on the wire can be obtained as:
[0017] (2)
[0018] Among them, the unit of the laser power P is W;
[0019] The wire feeding time is the same as the time of the laser acting on the wire. The energy E m required for wire melting is related to the wire feeding speed v wire , the wire density ρ wire , the specific heat capacity c wire of the wire, the temperature difference ΔT from the initial heating temperature of the wire to the melting point, and the latent heat of fusion L wire of the wire. Therefore, the energy E m required for wire melting can be obtained as:
[0020] (3)
[0021] Among them, the unit of the wire feeding speed v wire is mm / s, the unit of the wire density ρ wire is kg / m 3 , the unit of the specific heat capacity c wire of the wire is J / (kg·K), and the unit of the latent heat of fusion L wire of the wire is J / kg;
[0022] The length l of the wire immersed in the molten pool can be determined by the relationship between the heat source energy of the laser acting on the wire and the energy required for wire melting. im It is:
[0023] (4).
[0024] Furthermore, in step S3, the specific process of establishing the relationship between the equiaxed additive repair area and the parameters of the wire immersed in the molten pool is as follows:
[0025] The formation of the equiaxed additive repair area is related to the cavitation effect generated by ultrasound. It can be considered that equiaxial microstructure can be generated in the area where cavitation occurs; the prerequisite for cavitation formation in the molten pool is that the sound pressure exceeds the cavitation threshold. The cavitation threshold P b is related to the steady-state pressure P0 of the molten pool, the saturated vapor pressure P v , the surface tension coefficient σ of the melt, and the initial radius R0 of the cavitation bubble; the unit of the cavitation threshold P b is MPa;
[0026] The sound pressure in the molten pool starts to decay from the position where the wire is immersed. The decay process is related to the input intensity I0 of the ultrasonic wave and the viscous effect of the molten pool. And the viscous effect is related to the density ρ of the melt m , the propagation speed c of the ultrasonic wave in the metal material, the average distance d between the equilibrium positions of adjacent atoms a , the angular frequency ω of the ultrasonic wave, the vibration period τ0 of the atom at the equilibrium position, the Boltzmann constant k, the activation energy Q for atom movement, the temperature T at the initial position of ultrasonic wave transmission in the molten pool initial and the temperature gradient a in the molten pool tg are related; combining the cavitation threshold P b and performing calculation and simplification. Therefore, when the distance d from the wire immersed in the molten pool im satisfies the following relationship, cavitation can be generated:
[0027] , where (5)
[0028] where l ca is an intermediate variable representing the critical distance at which cavitation can occur, and the unit is mm.
[0029] Furthermore, the specific process of realizing equiaxed control of immersion ultrasonic laser composite additive repair in step S4 is as follows: During the laser additive repair process, a molten pool is usually formed within the laser spot range, and the formed molten pool is simplified here; when changing the laser, wire feeding, and ultrasonic process parameters, the cavitation range and position can be changed, and thus selective equiaxialization can be realized:
[0030] ① Determine the wire feeding angle α and the distance d between the laser and the wire gsand the laser spot diameter d beam After that, the relative position of the wire in the molten pool is calculated according to Equation (1);
[0031] ② Determine the laser power P, wire feeding speed v wire and the wire material, and calculate the length l of the wire immersed in the molten pool by combining Equations (2) to (4); im ;
[0032] ③ Determine the ultrasonic input intensity I0, cavitation threshold and ultrasonic attenuation related parameters, and calculate the cavitation range according to Equation (5);
[0033] ④ Based on the above, by changing the relative position of the wire in the molten pool, the equiaxed microstructure of a specific area in the additive repair area can be achieved; by changing the length of the wire immersed in the molten pool and the cavitation range, the equiaxed microstructure of a specific range in the additive repair area can be achieved; by combining the relative position of the wire in the molten pool, the length of the wire immersed in the molten pool and the cavitation range, the equiaxed microstructure regulation of a specific area and range in the additive repair area can be achieved; in addition, when the equiaxed range covers the entire molten pool, the full equiaxed microstructure of the additive repair area is achieved.
