Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of quality control for the repair and forming of aluminum alloys, and particularly relates to a mechanical device for regulating the mechanical properties of the softened area during the repair welding of aluminum alloys and a method for using the same. Background Art

[0002] Currently, during the repair process of aluminum alloys, especially in industries such as rail transit and aerospace, common problems are that due to uneven heat input or inaccurate control of welding processes, defects such as pores, cracks, and non-uniform microstructure appear in the aluminum alloy joints and softened areas. These defects will seriously affect the structural performance and reliability after repair. Existing repair processes are difficult to regulate the forming quality, microstructure state, and residual stress in the repair of aluminum alloys in real time, which limits the repair effect and quality assurance.

[0003] Regarding this problem, existing technologies mainly focus on the post-treatment processes after repair, but lack technical means for real-time control and adjustment during the repair process. This results in the inability to effectively ensure the stability of the repair quality during the repair process of aluminum alloys, and sometimes the performance after repair cannot meet the requirements of actual applications.

[0004] During the welding repair process of aluminum alloys, the repaired welding area is prone to grain coarsening, increased porosity, and residual stress concentration due to uneven heat input and rapid cooling, seriously affecting the service performance of the structure. Existing technologies mainly improve the welding quality through post-weld heat treatment, static mechanical rolling, or in-weld impact devices, but there are significant defects, which are specifically analyzed as follows:

[0005] 1. Insufficient material adaptability: Existing in-weld impact devices (such as CN103071901B) are mainly designed for high-strength steel, and their technical solutions have the following limitations: Mismatched impact head structure: This patent uses a curved pit impact head to enhance the shear force through energy storage by a flywheel group. However, its curved surface design is based on the high-temperature strength characteristics of steel materials (such as 4Cr9Si2 heat-resistant steel), while aluminum alloys have a low melting point (about 660°C) and strong high-temperature fluidity. Traditional rigid impact heads are prone to adhesion to molten metal, resulting in uneven extrusion or even secondary defects. Lack of thermal management: In-weld impact for high-strength steel relies on shear deformation in the high-temperature zone (such as "the yield strength of the metal decreases above 400°C" in the patent), but aluminum alloys enter a significant softening stage at 200 - 300°C. Existing devices do not optimize temperature monitoring and pressure matching for the low-temperature softening characteristics of aluminum alloys, resulting in over-extrusion or insufficient action.

[0006] 2. Weak real-time regulation ability: Although infrared temperature measurement is introduced in the existing technology (such as CN109604782B), the regulation logic is single and there are obvious shortcomings: Single monitoring parameter: This patent only relies on infrared temperature measurement to trigger the impact action (such as "start impact when the temperature exceeds the tempering temperature"), and does not integrate the monitoring of multi-dimensional parameters such as porosity and residual stress, resulting in one-sided regulation goals. For example, when repairing aluminum alloy, it is necessary to synchronously control the porosity (<1%) and stress (<50MPa), but the existing technology cannot achieve multi-objective optimization through a single temperature feedback. Limitation of open-loop control: The patent CN109604782B uses a fixed voltage to adjust the impact parameters (such as "the input voltage is adjustable from 0 to 220V"), but does not establish a real-time feedback closed-loop and cannot adaptively adjust according to dynamic working conditions (such as changes in weld morphology and heat accumulation fluctuations), which is prone to extrusion lag or overload.

[0007] 3. Limited effect of residual stress control: The traditional method releases stress through mechanical impact, but there are key defects: Uneven stress distribution: Existing devices (such as the flywheel group in CN103071901B) rely on rotational shear force, but aluminum alloy has a high thermal conductivity (~200W / m·K), and the rapid heat dissipation leads to a steep increase in the stress gradient. The inertial impact of the flywheel group is difficult to match the rapid cooling process, resulting in stress residue. Lack of quantitative regulation: The patent CN109604782B reduces stress through "impact frequency and impact force adjustment", but does not quantify the mapping relationship between stress and extrusion parameters (such as the pressure-stress attenuation curve), resulting in poor process stability and large fluctuations in repair quality.

[0008] The existing technology faces multiple bottlenecks in the field of aluminum alloy repair welding. Traditional in-welding impact devices are mostly designed for high-strength steel, and their core defect is that they do not fully consider the low melting point, high thermal conductivity and easy oxidation characteristics of aluminum alloy materials. For example, existing impact heads mostly adopt rigid structures (such as the curved pit design in patent CN103071901B), relying on high-temperature shear force to achieve metal deformation. However, during the welding process of aluminum alloy, the molten pool has strong fluidity and a fast solidification speed, and the rigid impact head is prone to adhesion to the molten metal, resulting in uneven extrusion and even surface cracks. In addition, the monitoring system of existing devices usually only relies on a single parameter (such as temperature) to trigger actions (such as infrared temperature measurement control in patent CN109604782B), lacking synchronous feedback on multi-dimensional indicators such as porosity and residual stress, and it is difficult to achieve comprehensive control of repair quality.

[0009] In terms of dynamic response, there are significant lags in the existing technologies. Traditional devices use discrete sensing modules and actuators (such as independently installed infrared thermometers and impact heads driven by cross slides), and the coordination of data transmission and mechanical actions is insufficient. For example, in high-speed welding scenarios (welding speed ≥ 5 mm / s), the response time from temperature detection to pressure adjustment in the system is too long, resulting in the disconnection between the extrusion effect and the molten pool state. Pore defects of uncompacted areas may occur in local regions due to pressure lag. At the same time, existing actuators (such as flywheel groups or slide drives) have large inertia and are difficult to achieve high-frequency fine-tuning, which limits the dynamic adaptation ability of process parameters.

[0010] Energy consumption and sustainability are also key shortcomings of the existing technologies. Traditional solutions represented by flywheel energy storage (such as CN103071901B) need to continuously consume electrical energy to maintain the flywheel speed, with low energy conversion efficiency, and the release of impact energy is intermittent, exacerbating energy waste. In addition, during the aluminum alloy welding repair process, the extrusion head rapidly heats up due to its high thermal conductivity, and existing devices lack effective active cooling designs (such as liquid cooling channels or phase change materials). Long-term operation is likely to cause sensor drift or thermal deformation of the mechanical structure, further reducing the system stability and lifespan.

[0011] In summary, the existing in-situ impact devices have significant deficiencies in material adaptability, multi-parameter real-time monitoring, and stress precise regulation, making it difficult to meet the high-precision and high-consistency requirements of aluminum alloy repair.

[0061] The thickness of the wear-resistant coating is 75 μm.

[0062] A method of using a mechanical device for regulating the mechanical properties of the softened area of aluminum alloy repair welding is carried out according to the following steps:

[0063] Step S1: Initial positioning;

[0064] Fix the aluminum alloy weldment on the base 8, turn on the power supply 7, and move the infrared temperature measuring device 3 and the extrusion head 2 to directly above the weld of the aluminum alloy weldment through the motors a5 and b6, and at the same time make the welding torch 1 located directly above the weld of the aluminum alloy weldment;

[0065] Step S2: Repair and extrusion synchronization;

[0066] Start the welding torch 1 to weld the weld of the aluminum alloy weldment with welding defects, then measure the temperature of the cladding layer through the infrared temperature measuring device 3, and start the extrusion head 2 to preferentially extrude the cladding layer in the high-temperature area; after one extrusion, use the extrusion head 2 to perform a second extrusion on the weld position with welding defects.

[0067] The welding process parameters in Step S2: the temperature is 300 °C, the power is 2 KW, and the welding speed is 8 mm / s.

[0068] In Step S2, when the temperature of the cladding layer is below 200 °C, the extrusion pressure is 25 MPa; when the temperature of the cladding layer is 200 - 300 °C, the extrusion pressure is 40 MPa; when the temperature of the cladding layer is above 300 °C, the extrusion pressure is 25 MPa.

[0069] Principle of this embodiment:

[0070] When the infrared temperature measurement shows that the temperature is lower than the target (below 200 °C), it indicates that the temperature of the welding area is insufficient and the material is harder. At this time, the extrusion pressure and speed should be reduced to prevent local overload from causing cracks;

[0071] When the temperature is in the range of 200 - 300 °C, it is in an ideal softening state. At this time, a relatively high pressure (recommended around 40 MPa) and medium-speed extrusion can be adopted to ensure that the structure of the weld area is dense and the residual stress is uniform.

[0072] When the temperature is higher than 300 °C, the material is prone to overheating and softening or excessive fluidity. To avoid secondary defects, the extrusion pressure is reduced and the extrusion speed is appropriately increased to accelerate heat dissipation.

[0073] For welding defects, a variety of non-destructive testing techniques such as ultrasonic, CT, DIC, and infrared thermal imaging are used to achieve a comprehensive assessment of weld cracks, porosity, stress, and tissue uniformity.

[0074] Ultrasonic testing (UT):

[0075] Purpose: Detect internal cracks, pores, lack of fusion, and defects.

[0076] Parameter recommendation: Use an ultrasonic probe with a frequency of 2 - 10 MHz, and the resolution can reach about 0.5 mm.

[0077] Equipment example: Digital ultrasonic flaw detector.

[0078] X-ray computed tomography (CT):

[0079] Purpose: Accurately evaluate porosity, internal defects, and tissue uniformity.

[0080] Parameter recommendation: The scanning resolution is 50 - 100 μm, suitable for laboratory testing or spot checks of key parts.

[0081] Equipment example: Industrial CT system.

[0082] Digital image correlation method (DIC):

[0083] Purpose: Indirectly reflect the residual stress distribution and tissue inhomogeneity through surface strain field analysis.

[0084] Parameter recommendation: The strain resolution can reach 0.1%, suitable for dynamic monitoring.

[0085] Equipment example: High-speed camera and special analysis software.

[0086] Infrared thermal imaging detection:

[0087] Purpose: Real-time monitor the welding temperature distribution and assist in judging local overheating or uneven cooling problems.

[0088] Parameter recommendation: The temperature measurement accuracy is within ±2 °C.
