Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent heat treatment production line technology, specifically to a monitoring and adaptive control system for the heat treatment process of magnesium-aluminum alloys. Background Technology
[0002] Magnesium-aluminum alloys, due to their low density, high specific strength, and excellent casting properties, are widely used in aerospace and automotive lightweighting applications. In the production of magnesium-aluminum alloys, heat treatment is a crucial process that determines the final mechanical properties of the material. The purpose of this process is to remove the non-equilibrium eutectic phase (mainly...) from the alloy through heating. Mutually, Fully dissolve and enter In the matrix, casting stress is eliminated, significantly improving the plasticity and toughness of the material.
[0003] Existing heat treatment processes for magnesium-aluminum alloys typically rely on standardized temperature-time process curves for control. In actual production, operators set the heating rate, holding temperature, and holding time according to the work instructions, and the equipment adjusts the heating power through a PID controller to track the set temperature. This control mode is essentially an open-loop control based on the microscopic state of the material, assuming that all workpieces to be treated will produce completely identical physical and metallurgical reactions under the same process parameters, and assuming that the furnace environment and workpiece response perfectly conform to an ideal model.
[0004] However, the aforementioned existing technologies have some shortcomings in practical applications: Firstly, due to differences in impurity content, initial grain size, and casting cooling history among different batches of raw materials, the activation energy required for solid solution varies. Using a fixed process curve can easily lead to insufficient solid solution due to insufficient reaction kinetics, or grain coarsening or even overheating due to excessive heating. Secondly, during heat treatment, if microscopic damage or grain boundary slip occurs inside the workpiece due to thermal stress release, traditional temperature controllers cannot detect such abnormal evolution of microstructures and often continue to execute heating commands, leading to crack propagation or even workpiece scrap, failing to meet the production requirements of high-quality precision magnesium-aluminum alloy components.

[0025] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. Example
[0026] Existing magnesium-aluminum alloy heat treatment technologies typically employ fixed temperature-time process curves, ignoring the actual impact of batch-to-batch variations in raw materials on phase transformation kinetics. This open-loop control approach can easily lead to insufficient solid solution or overheating, resulting in coarse grains, and lacks a real-time protection mechanism against sudden microcracks.
[0027] To solve the above technical problems, such as Figure 1 As shown, Embodiment 1 of the present invention provides a monitoring and adaptive control system for the heat treatment process of magnesium-aluminum alloys, specifically including: a multimodal sensing and preprocessing module, a digital twin parameter identification module, a predictive control decision module, and an adaptive execution module. The multimodal sensing and preprocessing module is used to acquire the workpiece's dynamic parameters, instantaneous resistivity, and acoustic emission signals; measure the workpiece's reference resistivity at room temperature, and eliminate power frequency noise using a moving average filtering algorithm. The module is used to calculate the current theoretical resistivity based on the activation energy estimated at the previous moment, and calculate the effective activation energy estimated at the current moment by combining the deviation between the measured instantaneous resistivity and the current theoretical resistivity. The predictive control decision module is used to predict the evolution trend of the phase transition fraction within a preset time domain based on the effective activation energy estimated at the current moment, calculate the deviation ratio between the predicted rate and the ideal rate, and generate temperature adjustment commands by combining the thermistor factor. The adaptive execution module is used to execute the acoustic emission melting judgment mechanism, determine the micro-damage risk level based on the intensity of the acoustic emission signal, execute the corresponding strategy, and finally issue the final execution command.
[0028] Specific embodiment 1 involves performing T4 solution treatment on a batch of magnesium-aluminum alloy die-cast parts with grade AZ91D. The system is equipped with high-temperature platinum electrodes for resistivity monitoring and a broadband acoustic emission sensor is deployed to monitor grain boundary slip signals, providing the data basis for embodiment 1 of this invention.
[0029] In the specific implementation of Example 1, firstly, initialization and benchmark parameter calibration are performed. The benchmark for subsequent calculations is established by reading the standard dynamic parameters of the workpiece and measuring the benchmark resistivity at room temperature. Secondly, during the heating stage, dynamic data acquisition and preprocessing are performed. A moving average filtering algorithm is used to eliminate power frequency noise, and a global clock is used to timestamp and align the high-frequency acoustic emission characteristics with the low-frequency resistivity data, solving the data heterogeneity problem caused by asynchronous sampling from multiple sensors and ensuring the spatiotemporal consistency of the input data. Then, the current theoretical resistivity is calculated based on the JMAK equation. Combining the deviation between the measured resistivity and the theoretical value, the current effective activation energy is inverted in real time using the dynamic activation energy adaptive correction formula. This transforms the invisible microstructure evolution into a quantifiable real-time state variable, solving the problem that traditional techniques cannot adapt to the batch heterogeneity of materials. Afterwards, model predictive control (MPC) is executed based on the corrected activation energy parameters to predict the future phase transition evolution trend in the time domain. By calculating the deviation ratio between the predicted rate and the ideal rate and combining it with the thermistor, a temperature adjustment command is generated, achieving pre-emptive intervention and avoiding the risks of coarse grains or insufficient solid solution. Next, safety constraint verification and adaptive adjustment are performed. The system determines the level of micro-damage risk by monitoring the intensity of acoustic emission signals, implements an adaptive gain damping strategy to gently apply the brakes on subcritical stress accumulation, and implements rapid cooling protection to force melting and prevent crack initiation, thus endowing the system with the ability to sense material physical damage and proactively avoid risks. Finally, when the real-time calculated phase transformation fraction reaches the preset target, the system automatically terminates the heat treatment process and enters the quenching stage, archiving the effective activation energy evolution curve of the entire process as a micro-quality fingerprint, providing a third dimension of data support for product quality traceability in addition to macroscopic mechanical properties.

Furthermore, to overcome contact instability caused by high-temperature thermal cycling, Pt-Rh alloy wire is used for the electrode leads. After spot-welding to the workpiece surface, an alumina-based high-temperature ceramic sealant is applied to prevent oxidation of the weld joint. Simultaneously, an S-shaped stress-relief bend is pre-formed at the electrode lead-out point to compensate for displacement caused by thermal expansion of the workpiece and prevent the weld joint from detaching due to shear force.

Upon arrival, perform the following operations: Slide out the old value: Retrieve the earliest entered data from the head of the queue. ; Slide into new value: The latest Store it at the tail of the queue and update the queue pointer; Update accumulator: Update the accumulated sum using a recursive algorithm. To avoid The formula for summing repeated data is: ; This recursive algorithm reduces computational complexity from Reduced to This ensures that even with limited embedded controller computing resources, it can still handle high-frequency sampling data within a large window. Furthermore, to eliminate accumulated floating-point errors, all data in the queue is summed again at fixed intervals (e.g., every 1000 samples), resetting the process. .

To provide quantitative basis for subsequent temperature control, the system further calculates the deviation ratio between the predicted rate and the ideal rate: ; like This indicates that, based on the current temperature, the future solution treatment progress will lag behind the ideal process, requiring temperature compensation.

To prevent the minimum value where the denominator is zero; It is a thermosensitive factor that characterizes the ability of temperature changes to affect the reaction rate.
[0067] Furthermore, considering the background noise present in sensors during actual engineering, in order to prevent the target phase transition rate from being affected... When the value approaches zero, the denominator in the formula becomes too small, causing even a weak noise signal to be amplified infinitely, thus triggering violent oscillations in the control command and affecting the minimum value in the formula. and calculation results Implement a stability constraint mechanism. Specifically, Not only does it serve as a mathematical correction term to prevent the denominator from being zero, but it is also defined as the system noise tolerance threshold (its value is not lower than...). (that is, slightly higher than the background noise floor) is used to forcibly limit the control gain in the low-rate range; at the same time, the system controls the output temperature adjustment command. Execute amplitude saturation limit: when the calculated temperature regulation command When the temperature exceeds the positive safety step size (e.g., +0.5℃), the system forcibly outputs that positive safety step size as a command; when the calculated temperature adjustment command... When the temperature is less than the negative safety step size (e.g., -0.5℃), the system will forcibly output the negative safety step size as an instruction to prevent temperature overshoot or oscillation caused by excessively large calculation results, avoid system divergence caused by mathematical singularities, and ensure the robustness of control throughout the heat treatment process.
[0068] For example: In this embodiment 1, the target phase transition rate This represents the solid solution rate that should be achieved at the current moment under perfect, ideal conditions. The method for determining this rate is as follows: The system reads the standard process temperature profile of this grade of magnesium alloy from the database. (i.e., the ideal heating path specified in the process card) and standard kinetic parameters ( The reaction rate constant at standard temperature was calculated using the Arrhenius equation. : ; The instantaneous phase transition rate under standard conditions is calculated based on the differential form of the JMAK equation. : ; In the formula, The phase transition fraction that should accumulate at standard temperatures, calculated in parallel by the system.
[0069] In this embodiment 1, the actual phase transition rate The actual solid solution rate occurring within the material is represented and determined as follows: Using the physical mapping model in step S31-4, the measured resistivity is... The lattice thermal vibration components in the crystal were stripped to extract the net resistivity caused solely by the phase transition. : ; In the formula, This is the current measured temperature. The calibrated temperature coefficient of resistance; Using the calibrated solid solution scattering coefficient The net resistivity is converted into the current real-time phase transition fraction. : ; Logical constraints: If the calculation result (Due to noise fluctuations), force set to 0; if Forced to set to 1; Real-time phase transition fraction Differentiation is performed to obtain the rate. Furthermore, to suppress the amplification effect of high-frequency noise on the differentiation operation, a five-point Savitzky-Gore smoothing differential filter is used. ; In real-time systems, the above formula can be easily applied using backward differential combined low-pass filtering: .
[0070] In this embodiment 1, the gain coefficient The method for determining it is as follows: Real-time calculations are performed using data from the heating phase (non-phase transition region, such as 150°C-200°C). According to a variant of Newton's law of cooling, the thermal response hysteresis of the workpiece can be characterized by the difference between furnace temperature and surface temperature. ; This represents the characteristic time required for the workpiece temperature to respond to changes in furnace temperature under the current furnace heat capacity and workpiece load. The system selects data from 10 consecutive seconds during the heating phase, calculates the average value of the above formula, and locks it as the inherent thermal inertia constant for the current furnace cycle. Read the set control sampling period (i.e., 100ms = 0.1s). According to the stability criterion of discrete control systems, [the following is a calculation method]... Defined as a single-period response factor: ; when Time (Inherent thermal inertia constant of industrial furnace) Typically on the order of 100 seconds, that is... The above formula can be Taylorically expanded into a more intuitive linear form: .
[0071] Specifically, for example: suppose a certain batch of furnaces was measured , Workpiece heating rate Calculate the thermal time constant: Known control period Calculate the gain coefficient. Meanwhile, in this embodiment 1, the current time is set. The workpiece temperature is at the target solid solution plateau. ( The effective activation energy estimated in real time is: The system detected a hysteresis in the solid solution reaction rate: the target phase transition rate The actual rate based on resistivity feedback Based on the gain coefficient calculated above... and gas constant Substitute into the formula to calculate , Finally, the temperature adjustment command is generated: This result indicates that the system will add temperature to the original set temperature within the current control cycle. The positive incremental value.
[0072] S43. Logical Judgment: If This indicates that the current solution rate is too slow, and the system issues a heating command; if This indicates that the reaction is too fast and there is a risk of coarse grains. The system then issues a heat preservation or cooling command.
[0073] In this embodiment 1, as Figure 3 The model predictive control diagram shown illustrates how phase transition fractions are calculated in advance based on current trends to predict future times. and ideal target score The evolutionary deviation between them is mapped to the current temperature regulation command through the thermosensitive factor. Overcoming the inherent challenges of thermal inertia hysteresis and nonlinear material response in industrial heating furnaces, temperature control is transformed from traditional post-error correction to pre-trend intervention, thereby avoiding process oscillations or overshoots (such as grain coarsening) caused by slow control response and ensuring that the solid solution path of the workpiece can conform to the optimal kinetic curve.
[0074] S5. Perform security constraint verification and adaptive adjustment, which includes the following steps: S51, during execution Before issuing the command, check the acoustic emission signal. ,in The corresponding current control cycle calculated in step S22-2 discrete values .
[0075] Set a first-level threshold and secondary threshold Execute the acoustic emission fuse triggering mechanism: like The system determines that the current microstructure is safe and allows the execution of the heating / holding command calculated in step S4. .
[0076] like The system determines that the workpiece faces the risk of overheating or cracking. At this point, regardless of the prediction result of step S4, even if the model requires a temperature increase, the main controller will directly block the temperature increase command and forcibly trigger the rapid cooling protection program, such as opening the nitrogen rapid cooling valve, and at the same time sending an overheating and melting alarm to the host computer.
[0077] like The system determines that the workpiece is in the subcritical stress accumulation zone. At this time, the material is undergoing drastic stress adjustment through lattice distortion and dislocation movement. Irreversible failure has not yet occurred, but it is extremely sensitive to thermal shock. An adaptive gain damping strategy based on risk gradient is executed, with the following steps: The system constructs a penalty function to calculate the discount factor for the heating command based on the relative position of the current acoustic emission value within the danger zone. ; This formula characterizes: when Just over hour, This allows the system to retain most of its heating capacity. Approaching hour, The system completely suppresses the heating capacity, forcing the temperature rise to stop; Then, the damping coefficient is used to adjust the original temperature control command output in step S4. Make corrections to obtain the final execution instructions. : If the original instruction is to increase the temperature ( ),but: This method reduces the heating rate while maintaining the heat treatment process by gently applying the brakes, giving the material enough time to release internal stress through creep and recovery mechanisms. If the original instruction was to cool down or keep warm ( Since cooling or insulation helps reduce thermal stress, no restrictions are imposed, and full permission is granted: .
[0078] For example, in this embodiment 1, the secondary threshold Characterizing grain boundary liquefaction or crack initiation, set as Level 1 threshold The method for characterizing the initiation of minute slip at grain boundaries is as follows: In the initial range of the heating phase ( to The system marks this area as the metallurgical silent zone. Within this zone, the system continuously collects data at a period of 100ms. Each acoustic emission root mean square voltage sample, for example, collected for 5 minutes, corresponds to These points constitute the background noise sample set. ; Assuming the background noise follows a normal distribution, the system calculates the mean of the sample set online. and standard deviation : ; ; Set false alarm probability This is used to identify abnormal signals. It requires a typical heat treatment process (duration...) The expected number of false alarms due to random noise is less than 1 per hour (e.g., 10 hours). Calculation : ; In the formula, To control the periodic frequency (e.g., 10Hz). For example: if If the sampling rate is 10Hz, then the total number of sampling points is Therefore ; Using the inverse function of the standard normal distribution (i.e., the quantile function) ), calculate the statistical significance factor corresponding to the false alarm rate. : ; The first-level threshold is determined as follows: .
[0079] Furthermore, to address the non-stationary nature of background noise drifting over time during long-cycle heat treatment operations, a threshold adaptive dynamic adjustment mechanism is introduced: the system maintains a sliding time window (e.g., 300s) in memory, adjusting the threshold only when the acoustic emission signal... Background noise samples are collected and updated during the metallurgical quiet period when the noise level is below the current first-level threshold. The statistical mean of the background noise is periodically updated using the exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) algorithm. with standard deviation Based on this, the time-varying first-level threshold is calculated in real time. This mechanism ensures that when the furnace enters a stable operating period and the ambient noise level decreases, the system automatically lowers the threshold to improve the sensitivity to capture weak damage signals. When environmental interference temporarily increases, the system automatically raises the threshold to suppress false alarms, thereby achieving robust adaptation to non-steady-state industrial noise environments.
[0080] S52, The controller will ultimately execute the instructions. The signal is sent to the power regulator, which adjusts the power of the heating rod to intervene in the flow field inside the furnace.
[0081] In this embodiment 1, before sending temperature control commands to the underlying hardware, a sound emission melting judgment mechanism based on the material health status is set up to compare in real time. With grading threshold Heating request from MPC module Nonlinear modulation is performed: for micro-stress accumulation, a penalty function is used. Flexible damping is applied to allow for stress release time by gently applying the brakes; for risks of crack initiation, heating commands are forcibly blocked and rapid cooling is triggered. This method endows the control system with the ability to sense internal physical damage to the material, solving the problem of crack propagation or even workpiece scrapping caused by the inability of traditional temperature control systems to detect grain boundary slip or signs of overheating, thus maximizing process efficiency while ensuring heat treatment safety.
[0082] S6. Perform cooling and data archiving, which includes the following steps: S61, When the system calculates the real-time phase transition fraction Achieve the preset target phase transition fraction If the heat treatment process is interrupted, the process should immediately end and the quenching stage should begin.
[0083] S62. The system automatically saves the entire process. The evolution curve serves as a microscopic quality fingerprint for this batch of materials. If the curve fluctuates wildly, it indicates poor uniformity of the raw materials, providing a third dimension of data support for subsequent quality traceability, in addition to hardness and strength. Example
[0084] As a second embodiment of the present invention, based on embodiment 1, an intelligent precision magnesium-aluminum alloy heat treatment equipment is also disclosed, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the system specifically includes: a vacuum heat treatment furnace body, a multi-channel resistivity acquisition instrument, a broadband acoustic emission detector, a PID power regulator, a main control computer, and the magnesium-aluminum alloy heat treatment process monitoring and adaptive control system described in Embodiment 1 above. The main control computer runs the magnesium-aluminum alloy heat treatment process monitoring and adaptive control system and is electrically connected to the multi-channel resistivity acquisition instrument, the broadband acoustic emission detector, and the PID power regulator, respectively.
[0085] The vacuum heat treatment furnace body is used to accommodate magnesium-aluminum alloy workpieces and provide a controlled temperature field; the multi-channel resistivity acquisition instrument acquires the voltage and current signals of the workpiece in real time using the four-probe method to obtain the resistivity; the broadband acoustic emission detector is coupled to the workpiece surface or furnace wall waveguide rod to monitor micro-stress waves; the PID power regulator is used to adjust the output power of the heating element according to the instructions of the main control computer.
[0086] In the specific implementation of the above embodiment 2, the main control computer starts and executes the following process: During the process preparation and initialization phase, the magnesium-aluminum alloy workpiece is loaded and fixed, and the system automatically performs an electrode contact impedance self-test. Once the furnace temperature stabilizes at the reference temperature... At that time, the system records the initial resistivity. And load the standard kinetic parameters of the alloy grade from the database. and solid solution scattering coefficient Complete system initialization.
[0087] During the heat treatment heating and holding stages, the system enters real-time monitoring mode. The multi-channel resistivity acquisition instrument and the broadband acoustic emission detector work synchronously, and the main control computer uses a global clock to collect resistivity data. Acoustic emission characteristics Timestamp alignment is performed. The system is based on the deviation between measured resistivity and theoretical model values. The current effective activation energy is inverted in real time using the dynamic activation energy adaptive correction formula. Based on this, the JMAK model is updated to predict future phase transition paths.
[0088] Depending on the different microscopic evolution states inside the workpiece, the system automatically switches between the following scenario logics: Scenario 1, Normal Solution Treatment Period: When the root mean square voltage of acoustic emission... Below the first-level threshold At that time, it is determined that there is no risk of internal damage to the workpiece. The system executes model predictive control (MPC) decision-making. The main control computer calculates the current actual phase transition rate. With the target phase transition rate The deviation, combined with the predicted horizon The evolution trend within the body, calculating temperature regulation commands. .
[0089] If a delay in the solid solution process is detected, then the effective activation energy is... Too high a temperature hinders atomic diffusion, prompting the system to generate a positive temperature regulation command. The system instructs the PID power regulator to slightly increase the temperature based on the current set temperature, providing additional thermal driving force. If the solution treatment process is found to be ahead of schedule (risk of grain coarsening), the system generates a negative command to reduce the heating power. Through this dynamic fine-tuning, the solution treatment path of the workpiece is ensured to conform to the ideal process curve.
[0090] Scenario 2, Damage Risk Period: When abnormal fluctuations in acoustic emission signals are detected, the system intervenes through a multi-level early warning and circuit breaker mechanism: Subcritical state: if This indicates that grain boundary slip or stress concentration has occurred. The system calculates the penalty function. The temperature adjustment commands originally generated by the MPC module Applying damping forces a reduction in the heating rate, giving the material time to release stress through creep, thus achieving flexible braking.
[0091] Critical danger state: if This indicates a risk of overheating liquefaction or crack propagation. Regardless of the current solution treatment progress, the main control computer immediately blocks all heating commands and triggers a rapid cooling protection program (such as opening the nitrogen rapid cooling valve), while simultaneously alarming the host computer to prevent workpiece scrap.
[0092] Furthermore, to verify the stability and repeatability of the magnesium-aluminum alloy heat treatment process monitoring and adaptive control system described in this invention in actual production, this embodiment designed a set of parallel comparative experiments: Experimental subjects: 500 batches of AZ91D magnesium-aluminum alloy die-cast parts were selected, with 10 samples randomly chosen from each batch, totaling 5000 parts. To simulate raw material fluctuations in actual production, the initial grain size of these 500 batches of raw materials was... Randomly distributed among impurity elements (Fe, Cu, Ni), the total content of these elements is within [a certain range]. Fluctuations between.
[0093] Control group: Utilized traditional time-temperature PID open-loop control. Strictly adhered to standard process: temperature increased to... Keep warm for 12 hours, with the heating rate set to [value missing]. .
[0094] Experimental group: Employing the adaptive control system described in this invention. Target phase transition fraction set. This allows the system to calculate the effective activation energy in real time. Automatically adjusts the heating path and holding time.
[0095] After the evaluation index experiment, all samples underwent physicochemical testing, and two key quality indicators were selected for statistical analysis: Solid solubility (%): Characterizes whether the heat treatment was sufficient. Target value is... The higher the better, but overheating should be avoided.
[0096] Average grain size ( ): Characterizes whether grain coarsening has occurred. Target value is The smaller and more uniform the better.
[0097] The experimental data were statistically analyzed by averaging the test results of 500 batches, resulting in the following statistical data table: The results show that the standard deviation data indicates that the standard deviation of solid solubility in the control group is [value missing]. This indicates that traditional processes are easily affected by batch fluctuations in raw materials, leading to inconsistent product quality; while the experimental group, by identifying effective activation energy online and compensating in real time, reduced the standard deviation to [missing information]. This indicates that the system can effectively eliminate disturbances caused by differences in raw materials, demonstrating extremely strong robustness. Meanwhile, the process capability index of the control group was only 0.28, implying significant incomplete solid solution treatment. The risk of non-conformity in production is inherent to the present invention, as the production process is uncontrollable; however, the process capability index of the system of this invention reaches 2.86 (typically...). (This is considered excellent), indicating that the system consistently operated within a high-quality range across 500 consecutive batches of production, validating the technology's extremely high reliability and repeatability in large-scale continuous industrial production. Furthermore, the control group, unable to detect overheating risks, experienced grain coarsening in some batches. The above; however, the experimental group utilized an acoustic emission melting mechanism to limit heat input in the early stages of grain boundary slip, thereby controlling the final average grain size within... And its distribution is extremely narrow ( This enables precision-level heat treatment.
