[0002] With the continuous increase in the dynamic performance requirements of aero-engines, the service environment, tissue performance, and service life of blades have been synchronously improved for manufacturing technologies. Although after-treatment strengthening processes such as laser shock peening or shot peening can be used to achieve selective strengthening of weak positions of blade performance after the blank manufacturing of aero-engine parts, currently, there is generally a problem of high production cost of the strengthening process. Even for closed complex structures, there is a situation where strengthening cannot be achieved due to limited space dimensions. With the continuous increase in the structural complexity and performance requirements of aero-engine parts, traditional after-treatment strengthening technologies are gradually forming technical barriers. If high-performance materials are selected for overall manufacturing, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the production and manufacturing costs and affect the part weight. Therefore, how to achieve selective high-performance manufacturing of specific positions of complex-structured parts while meeting the rapid manufacturing requirements of low cost and short cycle will surely be the direction for future breakthroughs in manufacturing technologies.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments

[0016] The following further elaborates on the present invention with specific embodiments, which are explanations rather than limitations of the present invention.

[0017] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] The present invention is applicable to the integrated strengthening manufacturing of high-performance, low-cost, and multi-material aero-engine parts. Specifically, a multi-system powder feeding laser cladding technology is adopted. High-performance materials are selected to replace the raw materials for strengthening manufacturing at the positions where the part performance is weak and prone to failure, so as to realize the integrated manufacturing of different materials for the same part of the aero-engine. Without significantly changing the weight of the part, the service performance and service life of the part are significantly improved. At the same time, since this manufacturing method avoids the post-treatment strengthening process, the production and manufacturing costs will be significantly reduced, and the manufacturing efficiency will be improved. Through the positive selective expression of the advantages of multi-materials and multi-properties, a technological innovation is provided for the integrated manufacturing of aero-engines to achieve performance improvement, cost reduction and efficiency increase, and part life extension. The inventive method is an integrated strengthening manufacturing method for high-performance, low-cost, and multi-material aero-engine parts using a multi-system powder feeding laser cladding technology.

[0019] The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing technology and relates to an integrated strengthening manufacturing method for high-performance, low-cost, and multi-material aero-engine parts using a multi-system powder feeding laser cladding technology. The specific technical solution is realized through the following steps: (1) Analysis of the load-bearing and stress conditions of the part: Through software simulation of the load-bearing and stress conditions of the part in the actual working environment, the positions where the part performance is weak and prone to failure are analyzed and obtained, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0020] (2) Material selection and design: On the basis of the original designed material, by analyzing the material composition and tissue performance of the material, high-performance material blades with similar material composition and organizational structure are selected to replace the weak positions for strengthening manufacturing, and the materials of the remaining parts remain unchanged.

[0021] (3) Verification of load-bearing and stress: Through software, the load-bearing and stress conditions of the weak positions after selecting high-performance materials are simulated again. After meeting the service performance requirements of the working environment, the design of the forming path scheme is started.

[0022] (4) Design of the forming path scheme: The three-dimensional model is classified and sliced according to the part structure to determine the forming path and scheme of the double powder feeding system laser cladding.

[0023] (5) General manufacturing stage: According to the forming scheme of the part, first select the original design material of System 1 for additive forming, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0024] (6) Reinforcement manufacturing stage: When the part is formed to the position with weak performance, replace it with the high-performance material of System 2 for additive forming, as shown in Figure 3 . Through the design of the forming path scheme, additive forming can also be carried out using a dual system at the same time.

[0025] (7) Complete the forming manufacturing by layer-by-layer stacking, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0026] The following is the specific detailed process: Step (1): Analysis of part load-bearing Specific process: Simulation modeling: Based on the three-dimensional model of the aero-engine part (such as a blade), use finite element analysis software (such as ANSYS, ABAQUS, etc.) to simulate the stress environment of the part under actual working conditions (such as high temperature, high pressure, centrifugal force, vibration load, etc.).

[0027] Load application: According to the engine operating parameters (speed, temperature distribution, air flow pressure, etc.), define the boundary conditions and load types (static / dynamic load, thermal-mechanical coupling load, etc.).

[0028] Identification of weak areas: Through stress nephograms, strain distributions, and fatigue life prediction results, determine the stress concentration areas in the part (such as blade roots, dovetail joint surfaces), high-temperature creep-sensitive areas, or positions prone to fatigue cracks ( Figure 1 the marked areas).

[0029] Output result: Generate an analysis report to clarify the key areas to be strengthened and the types of their performance defects (such as insufficient strength, poor fatigue resistance).

[0030] Step (2): Material selection design Specific process: Substrate analysis: Detect the composition and microstructure of the original design material (such as γ' phase distribution, grain size).

[0031] Screening of high-performance materials: Select high-performance materials with a composition gradient close to that of the substrate (such as the difference ≤ 10%) and a matching coefficient of thermal expansion to ensure interface compatibility.

[0032] Matching of tissue properties: Verify the matching degree of the grain size and precipitation phase distribution of the high-performance material with the matrix material through metallographic experiments (such as the grain size difference < 20%) to avoid failure caused by sudden changes in tissue at the interface. Local replacement solution: High-performance materials are used for the weak areas identified in step (1) (such as the leading edge of the blade), and the original design materials are retained for the remaining parts to control costs.

[0033] Step (3): Bearing force verification Specific process: Secondary simulation modeling: Input the properties of the replaced high-performance materials (elastic modulus, yield strength, thermal conductivity, etc.) into the simulation software, and reconstruct the part model including the locally strengthened area.

[0034] Performance verification: Simulate the stress distribution, fatigue life, and high-temperature creep behavior of the strengthened area to ensure that the maximum stress value is lower than the allowable stress of the material and the life is increased by ≥ 30%.

[0035] Iterative optimization: If the verification fails (such as stress concentration at the interface), adjust the selection range of the high-performance material or optimize the powder feeding process parameters (such as laser power, interlayer cooling time).

[0036] Confirm the solution: Output the final material layout and process window as the basis for the subsequent forming path design; Step (4): Forming path scheme design Specific process: Model layer slicing: Slice the three-dimensional part model along the Z-axis direction (layer thickness 50 - 200 μm), and divide the continuous forming area (substrate) and the locally strengthened area according to geometric features.

[0037] Path planning logic: Dual-system collaborative strategy: System 1 (raw material part) is responsible for the formation of the substrate structure, and System 2 (high-performance material) is responsible for local strengthening; the path design needs to avoid laser head interference and optimize the overlapping sequence.

[0038] Dynamic timing allocation: Control the start and stop timing of the dual powder feeding systems through numerical control codes (G-codes) to ensure that the material switching timing is synchronized with the cladding trajectory.

[0039] Process parameter matching: Set gradient parameter combinations of laser power (500 - 3000 W), scanning speed (5 - 20 mm / s), and powder feeding rate (2 - 10 g / min) for different areas to reduce the difference in the heat affected zone.

[0040] Step (5): General manufacturing stage Specific process: Start the formation of the substrate: Load the powder of the original design material using the first powder feeding system (System 1), and cladding the substrate structure layer by layer according to the preset path.

[0041] Process control: The diameter of the laser focused spot is 0.2 - 1.0 mm, and the temperature of the molten pool is controlled at 50 - 100 °C above the liquidus temperature of the material.

[0042] The surface morphology of the cladding layer is monitored in real time, and the process parameters are adjusted through closed-loop feedback to ensure that the matrix density is ≥99.5%.

[0043] Transition zone treatment: When approaching the 2 - 3 layers before the weak performance area, gradually reduce the powder feeding rate to reserve an interface transition gradient for material switching.

[0044] Step (6): Strengthening manufacturing stage Specific process: Material switching mechanism: Single system switching: When the cladding layer reaches the weak area, the numerical control system pauses system 1 and starts the second powder feeding system (system 2), using high-performance materials, and the switching time ≤0.5 s.

[0045] Dual system synchronization: For complex areas (such as special-shaped curved surfaces), the two powder feeding systems cooperate, and co-deposition of the two materials is achieved through powder flow focusing technology.

[0046] Interface strengthening control: Gradient powder feeding (gradual change in mixing ratio) is adopted at the material switching interface to reduce the crack tendency caused by sudden composition changes.

[0047] High-frequency oscillating laser scanning (frequency 200 - 500 Hz) is used to refine the interface grains and improve the bonding strength.

[0048] Real-time quality monitoring: The morphology of the molten pool is monitored by an infrared thermal imager and a high-speed camera, and the laser power and powder feeding amount are dynamically adjusted to ensure that there are no pores and unfused defects in the strengthening area.

[0049] Step (7): Complete forming by layer-by-layer stacking Specific process: Interlayer process adjustment: At the junction of the ordinary material layer and the high-performance material layer, gradually adjust the laser power (such as from 2000 W to 1800 W) and the scanning speed (such as from 10 mm / s to 12 mm / s) to relieve the accumulation of thermal stress.

[0050] After each layer of cladding, it is cooled with an inert gas (Ar or N2) to control the interlayer temperature gradient ≤50 °C / s.

[0051] Final forming: Repeat steps (5) - (6) until the overall forming of the part is completed, and the surface roughness Ra of the formed part is ≤12.5 μm.

[0052] Post-treatment: Stress relief annealing (such as 800 °C × 2 h) is carried out on the formed part to eliminate the residual stress, and finally an integrated part with both a high-strength matrix and local super-performance is obtained (Figure 5 ).

[0053] The method of the present invention aims to select high-performance materials for strengthening manufacturing at positions where the performance of parts is weak and prone to failure through the multi-system powder feeding laser cladding technology. It is a positive selective high-performance, low-cost, and integrated strengthening manufacturing method for complex part structures of multiple materials. While selectively improving the performance of key risk positions, this method can effectively control the weight of aero-engine parts, break through the drawbacks of post-treatment strengthening processes, reduce their negative impact on the shape and structure of the parts themselves, and provide a technological innovation for improving the performance, reducing costs and increasing efficiency, and extending the service life of aero-engine parts.

[0054] Example 1 A strengthening manufacturing method for a wide-chord blade of a certain aero-engine. The steps are as follows: (1) Analysis of the load-bearing and stress conditions of the part: By simulating the load-bearing and stress conditions of the part in the actual working environment through software, it is analyzed that the position where the performance of the part is weak and prone to failure is the root of the blade, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0055] (2) Material selection and design: Based on the analysis of the load-bearing and stress conditions, the original designed material for this part is TC4 titanium alloy material (tensile strength ~1100 MPa, yield strength ~1000 MPa). For the weak performance position, a TB18 high-performance titanium alloy material with similar material composition and excellent tissue performance (tensile strength ~1350 MPa, yield strength ~1250 MPa) is selected for strengthening manufacturing, and the materials of the remaining parts remain unchanged.

[0056] (3) Verification of load-bearing and stress: By simulating the load-bearing and stress conditions of the TB18 material position through software again, the forming path scheme design is started after meeting the load-bearing and stress working environment.

[0057] (4) Design of the forming path scheme: The three-dimensional model is classified and sliced according to the structure of the wide-chord blade to determine the forming path and scheme of the double-powder-feeding system laser cladding.

[0058] (5) Ordinary manufacturing stage: According to the forming scheme of the part, first select the TC4 material of system 1 to perform additive forming on the tenon of the wide-chord blade, as shown in Figure 2 .

[0059] (6) Strengthening manufacturing stage: When the blade is formed to the root of the blade, that is, the weak performance position, replace it with the TB18 material of system 2 to perform additive forming, as shown in Figure 3 .

[0060] (7) Ordinary manufacturing stage: Continue to replace it with the TC4 material of system 1 to perform additive forming on the middle and upper parts of the blade body of the wide-chord blade, as shown in Figure 4 .

[0061] (8) Complete the forming manufacturing by layer-by-layer stacking, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0062] The systematic integration of the above steps solves the problem that it is difficult to balance performance and cost in traditional single-material additive manufacturing, and is particularly suitable for the efficient strengthening manufacturing of key components such as aero-engine blades and turbine disks.

[0063] The method of the present invention realizes the multi-material integrated manufacturing of the same part at different positions of an aero-engine blade by leveraging the advantages of multi-system powder feeding laser cladding technology. For the positions where the part has weak performance and is prone to failure, laser cladding gradient forming is carried out using high-performance materials with similar material compositions and microstructures to reduce the interfacial effect of dissimilar materials, achieve the selective improvement of the performance at the specified positions of the part, and improve the overall performance of the aero-engine blade, providing technological innovation for weight reduction, performance improvement and component life extension of aero-engines.
