Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of heterogeneous metal additive manufacturing technology, and in particular to a large-scale composite roll envelope shearing additive forming equipment and method. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of rolling mills, the performance of rolling rolls directly determines the quality of steel plates and production costs. With the trend towards higher strength in steel, high-end steel plates increasingly demand superior wear resistance, fatigue resistance, and precision from rolling rolls. However, rolling rolls are prone to spalling and cracking due to high temperatures and pressures during service, leading to failure and scrapping. Every year, a large number of rolling rolls are replaced due to reaching the end of their service life, and the manufacturing cost of new rolls is high and the cycle is long. Additive repair technology can restore the geometric dimensions and performance of rolling rolls, extending their service life by 1-10 times, significantly reducing steel rolling costs. At the same time, the repair process is more than 30% more energy-efficient than manufacturing new rolls, aligning with the green transformation needs of the metallurgical industry.

[0003] Existing roll repair technologies such as welding, thermal spraying, and laser cladding all have significant bottlenecks: welding easily produces coarse columnar crystals and segregation, leading to shrinkage porosity, inclusions, and stress corrosion in the repair layer; residual stress control is difficult in surface strengthening technologies (such as induction hardening); while new additive manufacturing technologies such as spray forming can improve wear resistance, the density of the deposited layer is insufficient and its industrialization is limited, and arc-wire composite rolling equipment is only suitable for simple shaft parts. The core problem is that existing equipment lacks multi-degree-of-freedom collaborative capabilities, making it impossible to achieve precise repair of irregularly shaped cross-sections such as conical and stepped rolls, and the bonding strength and fatigue performance of the repair layer lag behind the level of imported new rolls.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to develop dynamic envelope tracking technology for irregularly shaped roll surfaces with varying curvature to ensure the uniformity of the repair layer thickness. By coupling rolling compaction and high-frequency shearing, coarse dendrites are broken and porosity is eliminated in the semi-solid molten pool stage. Combined with online local induction heating to regulate the microstructure and properties, this system can systematically solve the problems of additive repair, metallurgical defect control, gradient function manufacturing, and stress regulation of large composite rolls, and promote the upgrading of large composite roll remanufacturing towards high performance and full cross-section adaptation.

[0069] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a large-scale composite roll envelope shearing additive manufacturing equipment and method.

[0070] Specifically, the present invention provides a large-scale composite roll envelope shearing additive manufacturing equipment, such as...

The additive manufacturing unit 1 is located on the upper side of the roll 7 to be repaired. The envelope shearing rolling unit 3 is located on the first side of the worktable. The temperature control unit 2 is adjacent to the envelope shearing rolling unit 3. The online heat treatment unit 5 is located on the second side of the worktable. The surface cleaning unit 6 is adjacent to the online heat treatment unit 5.

The additive manufacturing unit includes an X-direction displacement assembly 101, a Y-direction displacement assembly 102, a Z-direction displacement assembly 103, and an additive assembly 104. The additive assembly 104 moves in the X, Y, or Z directions via the X-direction displacement assembly 101, the Y-direction displacement assembly 102, or the Z-direction displacement assembly 103, respectively. The enveloping shearing rolling unit 3 includes an arc frame 301, a slide rail 302, a limiter 304, and N enveloping shearing rolling assemblies 303 distributed along the circumferential direction. The enveloping shearing rolling assemblies 303 are mounted on the slide rail 302 and are guided by rollers and fixed in position by the limiters 304. Each enveloping shearing rolling assembly 303 includes a rolling mechanism 3034, a deflection changing mechanism 3032, a rolling change mechanism 3033, and a position changing mechanism 3031. The rolling mechanism 3034 is equipped with an enveloping roll 30341 and auxiliary structures such as a connecting plate. The deflection angle α between the enveloping roll 30341 and the roll 7 to be repaired is adjusted by the deflection adjustment mechanism 3032. The rolling angle β between the enveloping roll 30341 and the roll 7 to be repaired is adjusted by the rolling adjustment mechanism 3033. The distance between the enveloping roll 30341 and the roll 7 to be repaired is adjusted by the position adjustment mechanism 3031.

[0071] In the specific operation, the deflection angle α between the enveloping roll 30341 and the roll 7 to be repaired is adjusted by the direct drive motor in the deflection adjustment mechanism 3032, which drives the rolling mechanism 3034 below. The rolling angle β between the enveloping roll 30341 and the roll 7 to be repaired is adjusted by the synchronous rotation of two direct drive motors on the fixed plate, which drive the roll below to rotate.

[0072] Envelope rolling refers to the process in which the deformation profile of the metal gradually approaches the target shape during rolling, with the profile of each roll pass partially covering the final shape, ultimately superimposing to form a complete profile. Unlike traditional rolling, which is formed in a single pass, envelope rolling reduces stress concentration in the material and improves forming accuracy through multiple passes and small deformation amounts. In this invention, the cladding metal undergoes n passes of rolling, with the profile of each roll pass partially covering the target shape, and the multiple passes superimposing to form a complete profile.

The distance between the envelope rolls 30341 of the N envelope shearing rolling assemblies distributed along the circumferential direction can be adjusted and arranged with equal or variable spacing. Generally, the roll diameter of the envelope rolls 30341 gradually decreases. The central angle γ between the i-th and i+1-th envelope rolls is adjusted by sliding the rollers of the envelope shearing rolling assembly on the slide rail 302, thereby adjusting the distance between adjacent envelope rolls. Figure 8 As shown in the figure, γ1 is the central angle between the first and second envelope rolls, γ n-1It is the central angle between the (n-1)th and nth envelope rolls.

[0081] In one specific embodiment, the distance between the envelope rolls 30341 of the N envelope shearing rolling assemblies 303 distributed along the circumferential direction and the roll 7 to be repaired gradually decreases in sequence.
