AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, copper alloy layers in offshore wind turbine bearings are prone to shrinkage porosity and poor microstructure, as well as poor interfacial bonding. Furthermore, laser cladding is costly, hindering the fabrication and shaping of high-performance, low-cost heterogeneous materials for wind turbine bearings.
Vacuum or protective atmosphere sealing welding combined with hot rolling technology is used to seal the inner and outer rings of offshore wind turbine bearings. Pulsed current is applied simultaneously, and the effects of multiple thermo-mechanical-electric fields are used to promote mechanical interlocking and atomic bonding of heterogeneous material interfaces, thereby achieving high-performance bonding of heterogeneous interfaces.
The obtained copper alloy layer on the bearing surface has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, while the core alloy steel has good strength and impact toughness. The heterogeneous interface has strong bonding, which reduces manufacturing costs and improves the overall performance of the bearing.
