Background
The problems of large resource consumption, poor economy, more unstable factors in the machining quality and the like in the traditional contact machining process are caused by the unavoidable loss of tools. The presence of non-contact machining remedies to some extent the above-mentioned deficiencies of conventional contact machining. The non-contact processing avoids the abrasion of the tool in the processing process, can accurately control the energy source required by the processing, monitors the stability of energy output in real time, and greatly improves the stability of the surface quality of the workpiece. Common non-contact machining includes electric spark machining, laser machining, plasma beam machining, microwave machining and the like, and laser machining is widely applied to manufacturing of mechanical parts by virtue of the characteristics of high machining speed, high power density, strong adaptability to machining materials and the like.
Laser processing belongs to thermal processing. The dimensions of heat transfer during processing also vary greatly depending on the pulse width and the material being processed. After laser processing, especially continuous laser or laser with a large pulse width, a lot of parts inevitably leave a relatively obvious processing trace in a processing area, the surface quality often cannot meet the final requirement, and the common mode is to carry out polishing post-treatment on the surface after laser processing to increase the surface finish. Most of the existing multi-axis water jet composite processing technologies converge laser and water flow to the same point on a workpiece to carry out water jet auxiliary cutting, and water jet cooling and erosion processing of an oxidation area are carried out while laser cutting is carried out; for water-jet guided laser machining, the water-jet guided laser machining device has the characteristics of small heat affected zone, high machining efficiency, good workpiece cooling effect, clean and clean cutting seams and the like, but if abrasive is added, laser is unevenly reflected in jet flow, the quality of light beams reaching the surface of a workpiece is seriously affected, and the water-jet polishing efficiency without the abrasive is also lower. The laser and the abrasive water jet are combined, feeding is carried out coaxially, abrasive water jet polishing of a processing area is carried out immediately after laser processing, the polishing area is larger than a laser spot acting area, and the processing area and a processing heat affected area are completely covered. Because the existence of the air curtain in the processing system enables the laser processing and the abrasive particle water jet processing to be carried out synchronously without influencing each other, the processing efficiency and the processing quality are greatly improved.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above disadvantages of the existing laser composite processing technology, the present invention aims to provide an efficient and precise multi-axis laser-abrasive water jet precise polishing synchronous processing technology, which comprises the following steps:
s1, assembling a machining head;
s2, setting machining track compensation;
s3, performing laser-abrasive water jet synchronous machining;
the laser processing and the traditional abrasive water jet method are fused, so that the processing efficiency and the processing precision are improved, and the laser processing and the abrasive water jet precision polishing are synchronously carried out. Laser processing head air cock 0 length is 100mm, and the top diameter is 10mm, and the bottom diameter is 2mm, and thickness 1mm, the tapering is 1: 12.5.
preferably, in step S1, a nanosecond laser is used as the laser light source, the nanosecond laser has a smaller heat affected zone than a continuous laser, and the laser cost is lower than that of an ultrafast laser such as picoseconds and femtoseconds. Argon is selected as gas curtain gas, so that the gas curtain is formed to isolate the water jet, and meanwhile, a processing area is protected from being oxidized in the processing process.
Preferably, the processing track in step S2 sets the tool path compensation amount according to the distance between the laser spot center and the water jet action zone center. The laser spot is 0.5-3mm, the laser pulse width is about 6ps, the wavelength is 1064nm, the single pulse energy is 30-70 muJ, and the frequency is 300-500 KHz.
Preferably, in step 3, laser-abrasive water jet synchronous machining is carried out according to the workpiece contour model. The processing head is internally ventilated with argon, the pressure is 1.2-5MPa, and the water content of the gas is 11.36 g/kg; the jet pressure of the abrasive water jet machining head is 1-3MPa, the jet medium is water, and 3-10% of absolute ethyl alcohol is added to be used as a surfactant; the abrasive concentration is 8-12wt%, the abrasive size is 0.5-1 μm, and the distance between the laser spot center and the jet center is 20 mm.
Furthermore, in step S3, the jet pressure is dynamically adjusted in real time according to the different tool paths, so as to ensure that the discrete amount of the acting force of the abrasive jet on the workpiece is within the process requirement.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. different from the traditional laser-water jet machining, the abrasive particles are added in the invention, so that the grinding and polishing efficiency is increased, and meanwhile, the laser and the jet flow are not interfered with each other due to the existence of the protective gas curtain. In the processing process, the laser and the abrasive jet flow are in coaxial asynchronous polishing, so that the laser processing area is immediately polished after being processed, the processing efficiency of a laser with a large heat affected zone can be improved, the diffusion of the heat affected zone can be effectively inhibited, and the surface quality is improved.
2. Can be used for laser processing surface modification; the low-temperature jet flow can be used for erosion, so that the cooling speed of a processing area is accelerated, the residual surface stress distribution of the processing area is adjusted, and the surface hardness and the wear resistance are improved. Or carrying out surface rapid cooling after continuous laser melting to realize surface amorphization treatment.
3. It is also possible to use only abrasive water jets for precision polishing of complex curved surfaces.
