Description

[0002] As an advanced manufacturing process, laser cladding technology can form a high-strength and high-hardness coating layer on the surface of a substrate, and is widely used in the fields of material repair, coating and manufacturing. However, during the laser cladding process, the coating layer formed is very prone to cracks, which can cause the structure of the manufactured part to be unstable, the performance to be reduced, and even serious functional failures in use. Therefore, the existence of cracks has always been an important factor restricting its application range.

[0003] Currently, for the cracks generated during the laser cladding process, the method of "information collection-comparison with a preset model-error feedback" is usually used to detect cracks. However, laser cladding is a multi-physical field coupling process, and the preset model obtained by simulation and other methods often deviates from the actual situation. The preset model itself is not accurate, for example, it is difficult to accurately judge the cracks caused by material differences, temperature gradients and other factors during the cladding process. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve good expected results in overcoming crack generation by improving the laser cladding process based on the current crack detection method. SUMMARY

[0055] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 A basic flowchart of the crack control method for the laser cladding coating of the present embodiment.

[0056] As Figure 1As shown, a laser cladding coating crack control method comprises:

[0057] S1: based on the surface macroscopic crack picture of the to-be-detected substrate, based on the reflection signal of the to-be-detected substrate after excitation, and obtaining coating crack information.

[0058] Wherein, the to-be-detected substrate is a target substrate that has undergone laser cladding.

[0059] The embodiment of the present application collects reflection signals based on the to-be-detected substrate after excitation. In specific applications, the method of exciting the to-be-detected substrate includes various methods, such as generating ultrasonic waves through an ultrasonic source and propagating the ultrasonic waves to the surface of the to-be-detected substrate; or generating ultrasonic waves through laser pulse excitation and focusing the laser pulse on the surface of the to-be-detected substrate.

[0060] The embodiment of the present application provides a method of exciting the to-be-detected substrate suitable for internal crack detection, which includes directly irradiating the to-be-detected substrate surface with a laser pulse with pre-set excitation parameters before the above-mentioned step S1 to complete the excitation of the to-be-detected substrate.

[0061] Based on the above excitation method, the reflection signal of the to-be-detected substrate after excitation in the above-mentioned step S1 is the reflection spectrum of the to-be-detected substrate surface after the laser pulse is directly irradiated on the surface of the to-be-detected substrate.

[0062] In specific applications, the laser pulse absorption rate, refractive index, scattering characteristics, temperature and pressure effect, and acoustic characteristics of different materials of the substrate are different. After the to-be-detected substrate is excited, the absorption difference of the pulse laser and the formation quality of the pulse wave have a great influence, which further directly affects the detection accuracy of the crack. Therefore, the embodiment of the present application provides a laser excitation and laser spectrum analysis method, which can automatically adjust the pulse laser parameters to adapt to different detection requirements and material characteristics, improve the efficiency of the laser processing or detection process, and more accurately detect the small defects of the laser cladding coating, such as internal cracks.

[0063] The embodiment of the present application also provides an implementation method of pre-setting excitation parameters, which obtains the excitation parameters corresponding to the material type of the to-be-detected substrate from the database that has been trained as experimental pulse laser parameters according to the material type of the to-be-detected substrate, and evaluates whether the experimental parameters are reasonable through the verification experiment reflection signal, which includes the following steps:

[0064] Obtain the material type of the to-be-detected substrate;

[0065] Set the experimental pulse laser parameters according to the material type;

[0066] Excite the to-be-detected substrate through the experimental pulse laser parameters, and collect the experimental reflection signal of the to-be-detected substrate after excitation;

[0067] verify the experimental reflection signal, if passed, the experimental pulse laser parameters are the excitation parameters.

[0068] It is conceivable that if not passed, adjust the experimental pulse laser parameters and excite the substrate to be detected by the adjusted experimental pulse laser parameters, and verify the experimental reflection signal again.

[0069] It should be noted that the above-mentioned excitation parameters are the experimental pulse laser parameters that pass the verification, and exemplary include pulse laser power, wavelength, or pulse width, etc.

[0070] In addition, in the above-mentioned step S1 of collecting coating crack information, the reflection signal and the surface macroscopic crack picture are obtained based on two times of collection of the same substrate to be detected, and the two times of collection are different, such as collecting the surface macroscopic crack picture based on the substrate to be detected, which is realized by a surface image detection system composed of high-speed cameras, infrared thermal imagers, etc. Collecting the reflection signal based on the excited substrate to be detected is realized by ultrasonic sensors, spectrum analyzers, etc.

[0071] Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the coating crack information is collected in two different ways through multi-sensor cooperative monitoring, which can more comprehensively monitor defects. In the above-mentioned step, the coating crack information is monitored based on sound and light signals, and the cracks that may exist in the substrate to be detected are detected to the maximum extent.

[0072] Exemplarily, the surface macroscopic crack picture is collected based on the substrate to be detected, and the detailed process is that the surface image detection system real-time records the surface of the cladding layer, so as to obtain the surface macroscopic crack picture of the cladding layer of the substrate to be detected after laser cladding. Exemplarily, the reflection signal is collected based on the excited substrate to be detected, and the detailed process is that the excited substrate to be detected is obtained through the interaction of laser pulses and the substrate to be detected, and then the ultrasonic signal or laser spectrum reflected by the excited substrate to be detected, i.e. the reflection signal, is collected.

[0073] S2: After processing the coating crack information, fusion information is obtained.

[0074] In the above-mentioned step S2, the reflection signal and the surface macroscopic crack picture are processed respectively, and the processed reflection signal and the processed surface macroscopic crack picture are obtained; wherein the processed reflection signal and the processed surface macroscopic crack picture constitute the fusion information.

[0075] In one embodiment, the reflection signal is processed, including:

[0076] The reflection signal is filtered and processed;

[0077] The filtered signal is decomposed into intrinsic mode function (IMF) sub-signals using VMD (Variational Modal Decomposition).

[0078] In one embodiment, the surface macroscopic crack picture is processed, including:

[0079] The surface macroscopic crack picture is image pre-processed, including but not limited to filtering, denoising, histogram equalization.

[0080] The feature information of the crack is extracted based on the image pre-processed picture.

[0081] S3: According to the fusion information, if the to-be-detected substrate includes internal cracks or both internal cracks and surface cracks, the laser cladding parameters are adjusted according to a first adjustment mode, the to-be-detected substrate is processed by the adjusted laser cladding parameters, and S1 is re-executed until the to-be-detected substrate only includes surface cracks according to the fusion information, and a first cladding processing parameter is output.

[0082] According to the fusion information, if the to-be-detected substrate only includes surface cracks, the laser cladding parameters are adjusted according to a second adjustment mode, and the to-be-detected substrate is activated by the adjusted laser cladding parameters and S1 is re-executed until the to-be-detected substrate has no cracks according to the fusion information, and a second cladding processing parameter is output.

[0083] According to the above step S2, the fusion information is the processed reflection signal, the processed surface macroscopic crack picture, and the two processing modes shown in the examples, the step S3 judges the crack condition of the to-be-detected substrate according to the fusion information, including:

[0084] For the processed reflection signal, by comparative analysis, whether the to-be-detected substrate has internal cracks is obtained;

[0085] For the processed surface macroscopic crack picture, by machine learning, whether the to-be-detected substrate has surface cracks is obtained.

[0086] Among them, before the comparative analysis of the processed reflection signal, the target echo is selected from the IMF sub-signals as the target for comparative analysis. Before machine learning of the processed surface macroscopic crack picture, a certain number of surface macroscopic crack pictures are cyclically trained to obtain the corresponding learning model.

[0087] In a specific application, since the internal cause of the surface crack is most likely the expansion of the internal small crack, the step S3 is designed according to the characteristics of the crack, and the repair process is divided into two stages of internal crack repair and surface crack repair, and responds to the dynamic changes of crack formation.

[0088] In actual application, when the to-be-detected substrate includes both internal cracks and surface cracks, the step S3 first uses the first adjustment mode to control the laser cladding parameters for repairing the internal cracks, until the to-be-detected substrate only includes surface cracks. Through the first adjustment mode, the internal cracks can be effectively filled and connected, and the performance of the to-be-detected substrate can be improved. Then, when only including surface cracks, the second adjustment mode is used to control the laser cladding parameters for repairing the surface cracks, until the to-be-detected substrate has no cracks. Through the second adjustment mode, the flatness and performance of the surface of the to-be-detected substrate can be ensured.

[0089] S4: continue laser cladding on the target substrate using the second cladding processing parameters.

[0090] The first cladding processing parameters are the adjusted laser cladding parameters obtained by adjusting the laser cladding parameters according to the fusion information when the to-be-detected substrate only includes surface cracks. The second cladding processing parameters are the adjusted laser cladding parameters obtained by adjusting the laser cladding parameters according to the fusion information when the to-be-detected substrate has no cracks.

[0091] According to the real-time repair method provided by the step S3, the step S4 has the following advantages when using the second cladding processing parameters to continue laser cladding on the target substrate: 1. Strong pertinence: the present application adopts different adjustment modes for cracks in different positions, so that the adjusted processing parameters, such as the first cladding processing parameters and the second cladding processing parameters, have pertinence to the generation of coating cracks. 2. Real-time: after detecting the crack, the parameters of the subsequent cladding layer are optimized immediately, which controls the risk of subsequent crack generation, crack expansion and extension, and improves the service life of the substrate. 3. Systematization: the present application is divided into two stages of internal crack regulation and surface crack regulation, which makes the crack control process more systematic, improves the maturity and reliability of the laser cladding coating crack control method. 4. High efficiency: through real-time control of crack re-occurrence, the repair of the substrate can be completed in a short time, and the production efficiency is improved.

[0092] The laser cladding coating crack control method provided by the embodiment of the present application first takes the reflection signal and the surface macroscopic crack picture as fusion information, realizes the joint monitoring based on the sound and light signals, and makes the crack detection of the to-be-detected substrate more comprehensive. Then, the laser cladding parameters are adjusted through the first adjustment mode and the second adjustment mode, the real-time crack control is carried out in a targeted manner, and the crack control process is divided into two stages according to the characteristics of the cracks, so that the dynamic changes of the crack formation are responded, and the crack control process is more systematic. Based on this, the laser cladding of the target substrate is continued through the finally obtained second cladding processing parameters, so that the generation of the coating cracks of the target substrate can be controlled to the maximum extent, and the continuous generation of the coating cracks is overcome.

[0093] In one embodiment, if the to-be-detected substrate cannot be obtained without cracks according to the above steps S1 to S4, it indicates that the adjustment of the laser cladding parameters cannot achieve the expected control effect, at this time, the parameters such as pulse laser power, wavelength or pulse width are adjusted to optimize the excitation effect of the to-be-detected substrate, and better detection effect is obtained. Therefore, the laser cladding coating crack control method provided by the embodiment of the present application also includes:

[0094] If the to-be-detected substrate includes cracks according to the fusion information after M times of re-execution of S1, the excitation parameters are adjusted to re-excite the to-be-detected substrate.

[0095] In the embodiment of the present application, the first adjustment mode is to regulate the laser cladding parameters for internal cracks, and the priority of regulating the laser cladding parameters is: scanning speed > laser power > overlap rate.

[0096] Among them, the internal crack regulation adopts the alternative regulation of the scanning speed and the laser power. Based on this, as shown in Figure 2 The first adjustment mode includes:

[0097] S311, when the internal crack is detected for the first time, the initial internal crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain the first internal crack scanning speed, and whether the first internal crack scanning speed is lower than the first limit value is checked, if lower, the first limit value is used as the first internal crack scanning speed, if not lower, the first internal crack scanning speed is used;

[0098] S312, when the internal crack is detected for the second time, the initial laser power is increased to obtain the first laser power, and whether the first laser power exceeds the second limit value is checked, if exceeds, the second limit value is used as the first laser power, if does not exceed, the first laser power is used;

[0099] S313, when the internal crack is detected for the third time, the first internal crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain a second internal crack scanning speed, and it is checked whether the second internal crack scanning speed is lower than the first limit value, if lower, the first limit value is used as the second internal crack scanning speed, if not lower, the second internal crack scanning speed is used;

[0100] S314, when the internal crack is detected for the fourth time, the first laser power is increased to obtain a second laser power, and it is checked whether the second laser power exceeds the second limit value, if exceeds, the second limit value is used as the second laser power, if not exceeds, the second laser power is used;

[0101] S315, when the internal crack is detected for the 2n+1 time, the n internal crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain an n+1 internal crack scanning speed, and it is checked whether the n+1 internal crack scanning speed is lower than the first limit value, if lower, the first limit value is used as the n+1 internal crack scanning speed, if not lower, the n+1 internal crack scanning speed is used;

[0102] When the internal crack is detected for the 2n+2 time, the n laser power is increased to obtain an n+1 laser power, and it is checked whether the n+1 laser power exceeds the second limit value, if exceeds, the second limit value is used as the n+1 laser power, if not exceeds, the n+1 laser power is used;

[0103] Wherein, n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and the internal crack is detected when the substrate to be detected includes the internal crack or includes the internal crack and the surface crack at the same time.

[0104] In a preferred embodiment, in the steps S311 to S315, each parameter adjustment of increasing the laser power and reducing the internal crack scanning speed does not exceed 10% of the current value. For example, when the internal crack is detected for the first time, the initial internal crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain a first internal crack scanning speed, which is expressed by the formula as follows:

[0105] V1=(1-10%)V0;

[0106] Wherein, V0 is the initial internal crack scanning speed, and V1 is the first internal crack scanning speed. Meanwhile, the limit value of the scanning speed, i.e. the first limit value, is set as V 极限 It is checked whether V1 is lower than V 极限 If lower, V1 takes the value of V 极限 If not lower, V1 takes its own value.

[0107] For example, when the internal crack is detected for the second time, the initial laser power is increased to obtain a first laser power, which is expressed by the formula as follows:

[0108] P1 = (1 + 10%) P0;

[0109] wherein P0 is the initial laser power, P1 is the first laser power, and a limit value of the laser power is set, i.e., a second limit value is P 极限 , it is checked whether P1 exceeds P 极限 , if it exceeds, P1 takes the value of P 极限 , if it does not exceed, P1 takes its own value.

[0110] In addition, the adjustment of the same parameters in steps S313 to S315 will not be repeated.

[0111] wherein the surface crack regulation is performed by alternately regulating the scanning speed and the lap rate. Based on this, as shown in FIG. 6, the second adjustment mode includes: Figure 3

[0112] S321, when the surface crack is detected for the first time, the internal crack scanning speed at the last time when the internal crack is detected is reduced to obtain a first surface crack scanning speed, and it is checked whether the first surface crack scanning speed is lower than a first limit value, if it is lower, the first limit value is used as the first surface crack scanning speed, if it is not lower, the first surface crack scanning speed is used;

[0113] S322, when the surface crack is detected for the second time, the initial lap rate is increased to obtain a first lap rate, and it is checked whether the first lap rate exceeds a second limit value, if it exceeds, the second limit value is used as the first lap rate, if it does not exceed, the first lap rate is used;

[0114] S323, when the surface crack is detected for the third time, the first surface crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain a second surface crack scanning speed, and it is checked whether the second surface crack scanning speed is lower than the first limit value, if it is lower, the first limit value is used as the second surface crack scanning speed, if it is not lower, the second surface crack scanning speed is used;

[0115] S324, when the surface crack is detected for the fourth time, the first lap rate is increased to obtain a second lap rate, and it is checked whether the second lap rate exceeds the second limit value, if it exceeds, the second limit value is used as the second lap rate, if it does not exceed, the second lap rate is used;

[0116] S325, when the surface crack is detected for the 2k+1 time, the kth surface crack scanning speed is reduced to obtain a k+1th surface crack scanning speed, and it is checked whether the k+1th surface crack scanning speed is lower than the first limit value, if it is lower, the first limit value is used as the k+1th surface crack scanning speed, if it is not lower, the k+1th surface crack scanning speed is used;

[0117] ​When the surface crack is detected for the k+1th time, the kth overlap ratio is increased to obtain a k+1th overlap ratio, and whether the k+1th overlap ratio exceeds the second limit value is checked, if exceeding, the second limit value is used as the k+1th overlap ratio, if not exceeding, the k+1th overlap ratio is used.

[0118] wherein k is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2, and the substrate to be detected only includes surface cracks.

[0119] In a preferred embodiment, in the steps S321 to S325, each parameter adjustment of the surface crack scanning speed is not more than 10% of the current value, and each parameter adjustment of the overlap ratio is not more than 30% of the current value. For example, when the surface crack is detected for the first time, the internal crack scanning speed when the internal crack is detected for the last time is reduced to obtain a first surface crack scanning speed, which is expressed by the formula as follows:

[0120] V' (1) = (1-10%) V (n+1) ;

[0121] wherein V (n+1) is the internal crack scanning speed when the internal crack is detected for the last time, V' (1) is the first surface crack scanning speed, and the same limit value of the scanning speed is used, i.e. the first limit value is V 极限 , whether V' (1) is lower than V 极限 is checked, if lower, V' (1) is V 极限 , if not lower, V' (1) is itself.

[0122] For example, when the surface crack is detected for the second time, the initial overlap ratio is increased to obtain a first overlap ratio, which is expressed by the formula as follows:

[0123] O1= (1+30%) O0;

[0124] wherein O0is the initial overlap ratio, and O1is the first overlap ratio, and the limit value of the overlap ratio is set, i.e. the second limit value is O 极限 , whether O1exceeds O 极限 is checked, if exceeding, O1is O 极限 , if not exceeding, O1is itself.

[0125] In addition, the same parameter adjustment in the steps S323 to S325 is not repeated.

[0126] The embodiment of the present application provides the first adjustment mode and the second adjustment mode for internal cracks and surface cracks, sorts several process parameters which have the greatest impact on the cracks, establishes the control priority, and constitutes a perfect crack control scheme for the laser cladding coating.

[0127] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application further provides a control device for laser cladding coating cracks. Figure 4 , Figure 4 The basic structure block diagram of the control device 40 for the laser cladding coating cracks in the embodiment includes a signal monitoring and processing module 41, an intelligent control module 42 and a laser cladding module 43 which are connected in sequence, and the laser cladding module 43 is further connected with the signal monitoring and processing module 41; the laser cladding module 43 is used for laser cladding treatment on a base material to obtain a to-be-detected base material.

[0128] The signal monitoring and processing module 41 is used for collecting a surface macroscopic crack picture based on the to-be-detected base material, collecting a reflection signal based on the to-be-detected base material after excitation, and obtaining coating crack information; the to-be-detected base material is a target base material which has been subjected to laser cladding;

[0129] The signal monitoring and processing module 41 is further used for obtaining fusion information after processing the coating crack information;

[0130] The intelligent control module 42 is used for adjusting the laser cladding parameters of the laser cladding module 43 according to the fusion information, if the to-be-detected base material includes internal cracks or includes both internal cracks and surface cracks, processing the to-be-detected base material through the adjusted laser cladding parameters and re-executing the signal monitoring and processing module 41, until a first cladding processing parameter is output when the to-be-detected base material only includes surface cracks according to the fusion information;

[0131] According to the fusion information, if the to-be-detected base material only includes surface cracks, the laser cladding parameters of the laser cladding module 43 are adjusted according to the second adjustment mode, and the to-be-detected base material is activated through the adjusted laser cladding parameters and the signal monitoring and processing module 41 is re-executed, until a second cladding processing parameter is output when the to-be-detected base material has no cracks according to the fusion information;

[0132] The intelligent control module 42 is further used for controlling the laser cladding module 43 to continue laser cladding on the target base material using the second cladding processing parameter.

[0133] In one embodiment, the signal monitoring and processing module 41 includes a surface image detection system composed of high-speed cameras, infrared thermal imagers and the like image acquisition devices, and a laser ultrasonic detection system composed of ultrasonic sensors, spectral analyzers and the like light signal acquisition devices, for realizing the collection of coating crack information.

[0134] In one embodiment, the signal monitoring and processing module 41 discriminates the fusion information, including for the processed reflected signal, obtaining whether the internal crack of the substrate to be detected appears through comparative analysis; for the processed surface macroscopic crack picture, obtaining whether the surface crack of the substrate to be detected appears through machine learning. And the discrimination result is sent to the intelligent control module 42.

[0135] In one embodiment, the laser cladding module 43 is composed of a laser, a mechanical arm, a powder feeder, a cooling device and a protective gas device. The laser controls the laser cladding related parameters and emits stable parameter laser outward. The mechanical arm drives the laser to work along a specific path. The powder feeder delivers powder to the substrate to form a cladding layer with the substrate under the high temperature of the laser. The cooling device and the protective gas device respectively protect the laser from overheating and protect the cladding layer from oxidation.

[0136] In one embodiment, the laser cladding coating crack control device further includes a user data system for storing the laser cladding parameters when the substrate to be detected has no cracks.

[0137] The working principle of the laser cladding coating crack control device is as follows:

[0138] Firstly, the surface image detection system obtains a surface macroscopic crack picture based on the substrate to be detected, and the laser ultrasonic detection system obtains a reflection signal based on the substrate to be detected after excitation. The signal monitoring and processing module 41 processes the surface macroscopic crack picture and the reflection signal to reduce the influence of the cladding laser. Among them, for the reflection signal, the processed signal is also decomposed into a series of IMF sub-signals with specific center frequency and limited bandwidth by VMD. The signal monitoring and processing module 41 also discriminates the fusion information, including: for the reflection signal, the target echo is selected from the IMF sub-signals for comparative analysis to determine whether internal cracks occur. For the surface macroscopic crack picture, it is input into the learning model obtained after machine learning, and whether the surface crack occurs is judged according to the model output. The signal monitoring and processing module 41 sends the discrimination result to the intelligent control module 42, and the intelligent control module 42 identifies the discrimination result. The process of identifying the discrimination result is that the substrate to be detected includes internal cracks or both internal cracks and surface cracks according to the fusion information, and the substrate to be detected only includes surface cracks according to the fusion information. Since internal cracks are the main cause of surface cracks, the internal cracks are the first priority in the control program of the intelligent control module 42, and only the internal cracks are regulated in the case of the presence of both cracks. And set, the regulated laser cladding parameters are fed back to the laser cladding module 43, and the laser cladding module 43 changes the parameters and processes the substrate to be detected again. If no cracks are generated after parameter changing, the set of parameters is automatically saved to the user data system and matched with the material name, and the next time the same material is input, the user system automatically prompts the signal monitoring and processing module 41 to select directly.
