[0020] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more apparent, the technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0021] Nickel-based superalloy is the core material of key fluid components such as aircraft engine fuel nozzle and space propulsion agent delivery pipeline. The inner surface quality directly affects the anti-erosion performance and medium flow efficiency of the components. Although the traditional laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology can realize the near-net forming of special-shaped pipes, there are still the following bottleneck problems in the application of nickel-based alloy: 1. Uncontrollable adhesion of inner surface slag: high surface tension (≥1.8 N / m) leads to intensified globularization effect at the edge of the molten pool, and a large number of unmelted globularized particles adhere to the inner wall of the lumen, the inner surface roughness Ra>6μm, far exceeding the service standard of Ra≤0.8μm of aviation hydraulic pipeline.

[0022] 2. Interlayer thermal stress accumulation effect: the anisotropy of heat dissipation of thin-walled structure induces residual stress gradient, X-ray diffraction measurement shows that the stress amplitude in the transition zone reaches ±400MPa, which leads to the deviation of the ellipticity of the special-shaped pipe >0.15mm, and the traditional mechanical polishing cannot handle the curved flow channel and will introduce plastic deformation.

[0023] 3. Degradation of heat-affected zone after post-processing: the existing electrolytic polishing (ECP) or laser remelting post-processing improves the roughness while causing the dissolution of γ' strengthening phase and the precipitation of grain boundary δ phase, resulting in a 15-20% decrease in high-temperature hardness at 800℃.

[0024] Current improvement schemes such as inner cavity abrasive flow polishing and chemical etching have limitations such as poor accessibility of complex pipes (efficiency attenuation of 90% when depth-width ratio >5:1), loss of dimensional accuracy (wall thickness reduction ≥8%).

[0025] Therefore, the present embodiment provides a laser forging printing method and system for improving the high smoothness of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped pipe. Unlike existing separate post-processing processes, the present embodiment proposes interlayer femtosecond laser control, which applies 50-200kHz femtosecond laser scanning to the molten region formed after scanning processing by a fiber laser, realizes synchronous optimization of surface remelting shaping and stress release, breaks through the technical contradiction between surface smoothness and microstructure stability in traditional processes, and significantly improves the high smoothness of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped pipe.

[0026] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present embodiment, first, a laser forging printing method for improving the high smoothness of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped pipe is introduced in detail. This method is particularly suitable for precise forming of thin-walled special-shaped pipe components and can solve the technical problems of excessive roughness and residual stress concentration in complex pipe inner surfaces in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) technology. Referring to the flowchart of a laser forging printing method for improving the high smoothness of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped pipe shown in Figure 1 The method mainly includes the following steps 1 to 4: Step 1, receiving a laser forging printing instruction.

[0027] Step 2, trigger the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser to scan the powder laid on the substrate according to the respective corresponding scan paths at the same forging printing starting point and the same starting time.

[0028] In the formula, the laser size emitted by the fiber laser is larger than the laser size emitted by the femtosecond laser, the path trends of the respective corresponding scan paths of the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser are consistent, and the scan path of the fiber laser can adopt a spiral progressive path. In specific implementation, since the laser size emitted by the fiber laser is larger than the laser size emitted by the femtosecond laser, after the laser emitted by the fiber laser and the laser emitted by the femtosecond laser are simultaneously controlled, the molten area formed by the area scanned by the fiber laser, and the non-contact scanning of the femtosecond laser in the molten area can realize the effects of slag ablation, stress release, and organization stabilization.

[0029] Step 3, in the scanning process, trigger the infrared thermal imager to generate temperature field data, and locally adjust the scan path of the femtosecond laser based on the temperature field data until the laser emitted by the fiber laser and the laser emitted by the femtosecond laser reach the forging printing endpoint.

[0030] In an embodiment, the defects existing in the molten area and the characteristic information (referred to as defect characteristics) thereof can be identified according to the temperature field data, the local path in the scan path of the femtosecond laser is adjusted by using the defect characteristics, and the laser parameters (such as pulse energy, scanning speed, path spacing, etc.) bound by the local path are adjusted, so as to better improve the high smoothness of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped pipe.

[0031] Step 4, return to execute step 2, and form the thin-walled special-shaped pipe when the preset condition is met.

[0032] The laser forging printing method for improving the high smoothness of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped pipe provided by the embodiment of the present application triggers the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser to emit light at the same time, controls the femtosecond laser by the interlayer femtosecond laser, automatically adjusts the scan path of the femtosecond laser locally, realizes the synchronous optimization of surface remelting shaping and stress release, breaks through the technical contradiction that the surface smoothness and the microstructure stability are difficult to be compatible in the traditional process, and significantly improves the high smoothness of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped pipe, that is, reduces the roughness of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped pipe.

[0033] In view of the problems of uncontrollable adhesion of inner surface slag, accumulation of residual stress of thin-walled structure, and poor post-processing organization stability in the prior art, the embodiment of the present application provides a laser forging printing method for improving the high smoothness of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped pipe, which realizes the reduction of the inner surface roughness (Ra) of the special-shaped pipe from > 6 μm to ≤ 0.8 μm.

[0034] Firstly, referring to Figure 2A system architecture diagram of a laser forging printing method for improving the inner surface high smoothness of a thin-walled special-shaped tube is shown, and the system architecture diagram comprises a fiber laser 1, a powder bed laser 2, a special-shaped tube workpiece 3, a femtosecond laser 4, a femtosecond laser 5 and an infrared thermal imager 6.

[0035] On this basis, the embodiment of the present application provides Figure 3 A technical framework diagram of a laser forging printing method for improving the inner surface high smoothness of a thin-walled special-shaped tube is shown, and the technical framework diagram comprises: powder pretreatment and substrate preparation; processing system integration and parameter setting; laser melting forming layer preparation and femtosecond laser interlayer regulation; online dynamic adjustment; cross-layer circulation and post-processing. The core of the method is to build a "melting-regulation-monitoring" closed-loop cooperative system. The embodiment of the present application takes an aviation engine nickel-based high-temperature alloy (IN738LC) fuel nozzle thin-walled special-shaped tube as an example to describe the implementation process of the laser forging printing method for improving the inner surface smoothness, and the specific implementation process is as follows: (I) Powder pretreatment and substrate preparation: IN738LC nickel-based high-temperature alloy powder (particle size distribution 15-53 μm, oxygen content ≤0.025wt%) is selected, a 15nm thick aluminum oxide (Al2O3) coating is deposited on the surface of the powder by magnetron sputtering, and the femtosecond laser absorption rate is increased to 88%.

[0036] The substrate is made of Hastelloy X, after sand blasting treatment (surface roughness Ra=3.2 μm), step-by-step ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and ethanol for 20 minutes is adopted to remove surface oil stains and particles.

[0037] (II) Processing system integration and parameter setting: Melting forming unit: IPG YLS-400 fiber laser (wavelength 1070nm, spot diameter 80 μm, power range 200-600W); Interlayer regulation unit: Spectra-Physics femtosecond laser (wavelength 1064nm, pulse width 350fs, spot diameter 70 μm, single pulse energy 0.5mJ, repetition frequency 120kHz); Online monitoring unit: FLIR A6750sc dual-wavelength infrared thermal imager (frame rate 1200fps, temperature measurement accuracy ±3℃); Control system: NI PXIe-8880 real-time controller (time resolution 0.1 μs), integrated temperature-stress coupling algorithm module.

[0038] (III) Laser melting forming layer preparation and femtosecond laser interlayer regulation: The embodiment of the present application simultaneously controls the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser to scan.

[0039] ​The process of controlling the fiber laser to scan is as follows: powder layer thickness: 40 μm; melting parameters: laser power 450 W, scanning speed 1000 mm / s, overlap rate 35%, molten pool depth controlled at 250 ± 10 μm; protective atmosphere: high-purity argon (oxygen content ≤0.01%), gas flow rate 12 L / min. In a specific embodiment, a 200-800 W fiber laser is used to scan the nickel-based superalloy powder layer by layer with a 70-90 μm spot diameter, the molten pool depth is controlled at 200-350 μm, and the layer thickness is set at 20-50 μm.

[0040] The process of controlling the femtosecond laser to scan is as follows: start the 1064 nm femtosecond laser system for non-contact surface scanning, perform spiral progressive scanning with a 0.1 mm offset along the inner wall profile of the tube, and the key parameters are: spot diameter: 50-100 μm; single pulse energy: 0.2-0.8 mJ; repetition rate: 100-150 kHz. In a specific embodiment, the single pulse energy is 0.4 mJ, the scanning speed is 2 m / s, and the line spacing is 60 μm.

[0041] In the process of controlling the femtosecond laser to scan, the following composite effects will be produced: spherical particle selective vaporization: ablation of adherent slag with a diameter ≤80 μm through multi-photon absorption effect, experimental verification of vaporization of adherent spherical particles with a diameter ≤50 μm through multi-photon absorption effect; micro-area stress release: induction of <1 μm depth non-thermal melting-re-solidification of the surface layer, elimination of 40-60% local stress, experimental verification of induction of 0.8 μm depth non-thermal melting-re-solidification of the surface layer, elimination of 55% local residual stress; γ' phase stability control: surface layer heating rate >10 7 K / s inhibits element diffusion, γ' phase size change rate <3%, experimental verification of controlling peak temperature ≤1000℃, γ' phase size change rate <2.5%.

[0042] (Four) Online dynamic adjustment: (4.1) Based on the temperature field data, a surface topography image is generated for the molten region formed after scanning by the fiber laser. In an example, the temperature field data can be input into a pre-trained neural network to generate a surface topography image corresponding to the molten region.

[0043] (4.2) Extract the defect features contained in the surface topography image. In an example, the edge information of the surface topography image can be extracted to determine the location of the concave position of the molten region; threshold segmentation algorithm can be used to segment the reflective spherical particles from the surface topography image, and morphological operation (such as circularity analysis) is used to screen particles with a diameter >5 μm, and the coordinates, number and distribution density of the particles are recorded to obtain the spherical particles of the molten region, etc.

[0044] (4.3) Adjusting the scanning path of the femtosecond laser locally by the defect feature, and the scanning path of the femtosecond laser adopts a spiral path. Specifically, the shortest distance between the defect feature and the scanning path of the femtosecond laser is determined, and in the case that the shortest distance is greater than a preset distance threshold, a local path to be adjusted in the scanning path of the femtosecond laser is determined, and the local path is offset to the defect feature side, so that the adjusted local path covers the defect feature. The adjusted local path and the scanning path of the femtosecond laser are fused and smoothed to obtain the adjusted scanning path of the femtosecond laser.

[0045] Specifically, for each defect point (or region center), the shortest distance d between it and all points on the current spiral path is calculated: if d ≤ a preset threshold (such as 30 μm, i.e. 1 / 2-1 / 3 of the laser spot radius), it is determined that the defect is within the effective range of the current path; if d > the threshold, it is determined that the defect is not covered by the current path, and the path needs to be adjusted. Along the radial direction of the defect, the local spiral path is offset to the defect side by Δr (Δr = d - threshold), to ensure that the defect is within the laser spot coverage range. For example: if the defect is located 35 μm outside the original path, the path is locally offset by 30 μm, so that the defect enters the center area of the laser spot.

[0046] Preferably, since the scanning progress of the fiber laser is faster than that of the femtosecond laser, the surface topography image can be updated at a preset time interval, and the region that has been scanned twice by the femtosecond laser is identified by combining the updated surface topography image and the current working position of the femtosecond laser. The image corresponding to the region is excluded from the updated surface topography image, and the foregoing (4.2) to (4.3) are repeated until the scanning of the layer is completed.

[0047] Further, after offsetting the local path to the defect feature side, the laser parameters associated with the adjusted local path can also be adjusted based on the temperature properties of the defect feature through a PID controller. In one embodiment, a dual-wavelength infrared temperature measuring instrument can be integrated to collect the temperature field of the regulation area in real time, and a temperature-stress coupling model constructed based on the PID principle is used to dynamically adjust the femtosecond laser energy, so as to ensure that the surface peak temperature ≤ γ' solubility critical value (nickel-based alloy about 1050℃); the heat affected zone depth < 5 μm. In specific implementation, the femtosecond laser parameters are adjusted through the PID controller: if the local temperature > 1050℃: automatically reduce the pulse energy to 0.3 mJ; if the temperature gradient > 200℃ / mm: reduce the scanning speed to 1.5 m / s and increase the line spacing to 80 μm. The target control is to ensure that the heat affected zone depth ≤ 4 μm, and the real-time estimated value of the surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.6 μm.

[0048] (Five) Cross-layer circulation and post-processing: Repeat (three) to (four) until the completion of all accumulation (total number of layers 1500 layers), finally execute: gradient cooling: from 650 DEG C to room temperature at a rate of 15 DEG C / min; stress release: annealing at 400 DEG C for 1 hour in a protective atmosphere, the residual stress is reduced to below ± 80 MPa.

[0049] Finally, the quality of the formed thin-walled special-shaped tube (wall thickness 0.8 mm, bending radius R = 5 mm) is detected.

[0050] In summary, the laser forging printing method for improving the high surface finish of the inner surface of the thin-walled special-shaped tube provided by the embodiment of the application introduces a femtosecond laser secondary regulation process in the conventional LPBF interlayer processing process: while forming a molten layer by laser, a non-contact scanning process is performed on the molten area by using a femtosecond laser beam, wherein the femtosecond laser spot diameter is 50-100 microns, the single pulse energy is 0-1 mJ, and the repetition frequency is 50-200 kHz. By accurately controlling the energy density and scanning path of the femtosecond laser, the surface protrusions are selectively remelted on a sub-micron scale to reduce the surface roughness, and the controlled phase change of the surface layer material is induced to release the thermal stress accumulated in the fusion process. The embodiment of the application significantly improves the surface quality and service reliability of the inner cavity of precision components such as aerospace fuel pipelines and biomedical implants.

[0051] On the basis of the foregoing embodiments, the embodiment of the application provides a laser forging printing system for improving the high surface finish of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped tube, referring to a structural schematic diagram of a laser forging printing system for improving the high surface finish of the inner surface of a thin-walled special-shaped tube as shown in the figure. Figure 4 The device mainly includes the following parts: The instruction receiving module 402 is configured to receive a laser forging printing instruction. The forging module 404 is configured to trigger the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser to perform scanning processing on the powder laid on the substrate according to the respective corresponding scanning paths at the same forging printing starting point and the same starting time, the laser size emitted by the fiber laser is larger than the laser size emitted by the femtosecond laser, and the path trends of the respective corresponding scanning paths of the fiber laser and the femtosecond laser are consistent. The adjustment module 406 is configured to trigger the infrared thermal imager to generate temperature field data during the scanning processing, and locally adjust the scanning path of the femtosecond laser based on the temperature field data until the laser emitted by the fiber laser and the laser emitted by the femtosecond laser both reach the forging printing endpoint. The repeated execution module 408 returns to call the forging module 404, and forms a thin-walled special-shaped tube when a preset condition is met.
