Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of processing fixtures, in particular to a special tooling fixture for preparing electron beam cladding functional coatings. Background Art

[0002] Electroplating technology is a commonly used surface treatment technology for crystallizer copper plates. Electroplating technology is flexible, has high deposition efficiency, is easy to automate, and can obtain alloy coatings on the surface of parts with complex shapes. However, the electroplating layer is physically combined with the substrate, has poor wear resistance, low hardness, and the electroplating process seriously pollutes the environment and does not meet environmental protection requirements. The laser cladding process uses laser as a heat source, which requires a lot of beam energy. However, due to the high reflectivity of the copper surface to the laser, the energy utilization rate of using laser to clad copper is less than 10%.

[0003] Electron beam cladding technology refers to the use of high-speed electron beams to partially melt the surface of a workpiece in a vacuum environment, and in the process of instantaneous cooling and solidification, the molten metal powder or wire is sprayed onto the surface of the workpiece to form a special coating. Since electron beams can easily achieve high-power output, during electron beam cladding, the workpiece will be deformed due to uneven temperature distribution due to local temperature rise, thus affecting the formation effect of the coating on the surface of the workpiece.

[0004] At the same time, since the dilution rate of the cladding layer (i.e., the relative ratio of the cladding material to the parent material during the cladding process) will directly affect the performance of the formed coating, if the dilution rate is too low, the bonding performance between the cladding layer and the substrate is poor, or even metallurgical bonding cannot be achieved; if the dilution rate is too high, the substrate elements will over-dilute the cladding layer, which can easily lead to defects such as cracks and pores in the cladding layer. Therefore, during the electron beam cladding process, it is necessary to control the increase in the temperature of the workpiece, and it is relatively difficult to adjust the power of the electron beam in the cladding process in real time according to the temperature of the workpiece. In addition, the depth and width of the molten pool formed on the workpiece by electron beams of different powers are also different, so there may be a large difference in the thickness of the cladding layer at different positions on the workpiece, affecting the processing quality of the coating on the workpiece surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through examples. The following examples are provided to explain the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to the following examples.

[0027] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 The present embodiment provides a special tooling fixture for preparing an electron beam cladding functional coating, including a clamping component 1 and a temperature regulating component 2. The clamping component 1 is used to clamp and fix a copper plate. The clamping component 1 is provided with a plurality of temperature sensors 3 for monitoring the temperature change of the copper plate during the electron beam cladding process. The temperature regulating component 2 is located directly below the clamping component 1 and is used to heat or cool the copper plate.

[0028] When in use, the copper plate is clamped and fixed on the clamping component 1, and before the electron beam cladding operation is performed, the copper plate is preheated by the temperature regulating component 2, and during this process, the temperature of the copper plate can be detected in real time by the temperature sensor 3. When the temperature of the copper plate reaches a certain value, the temperature regulating component 2 stops heating the copper plate, and the electron beam cladding operation is performed to form a coating on the surface of the copper plate. During this process, the temperature of the copper plate is detected in real time by the temperature sensor 3, and when the temperature of the copper plate rises and exceeds a specific value, the copper plate is cooled by the temperature regulating component 2 to reduce the risk of bending and deformation of the copper plate due to excessive temperature, thereby ensuring the effect and quality of the surface coating processing of the copper plate.

[0029] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 3 adopts a K-type thermocouple, which can directly measure the surface temperature of liquid vapor and gas medium and solid in the range of 0°C to 1300°C in various production processes, and has high sensitivity, good stability and low price.

[0030] See also Figure 1-Figure 3The clamping assembly 1 includes a back plate 11 and a plurality of first tightening units 12 for clamping the copper plate.

The tightening block 14 is located between the copper plate and the first tightening bolts 15. The temperature sensor 3 is embedded in the tightening block 14. When the copper plate is fixed on the clamping assembly 1, the tightening block 14 is clamped between the copper plate and the first tightening bolts 15, which increases the contact area during clamping, thereby improving the clamping and fixing effect of the copper plate.

By setting the detection copper strip 51, after the coating is formed on the copper plate, the purpose of detecting the coating performance on the copper plate can be achieved by detecting the coating formed on the detection copper strip 51, so as not to affect the integrity of the copper plate and the coating thereon, and to ensure the processing quality of the coating on the copper plate.
