Background
High energy beams, commonly referred to as lasers, electron beams and ion beams, have in common the characteristic that the power density supplied to the surface of the material is more than or equal to 103w/cm2. With the upgrade of the traditional manufacturing industry, high-energy beam processing has become one of the most advanced manufacturing technologies in the modern time, and is known as processing in the 21 st century. Because the high-power-density high-precision high-power-beam high-precision weapon equipment has the comprehensive advantages of high power density, short action time, non-contact heating process, good controllability, environmental friendliness and the like, the high-power-beam processing gradually becomes a key technology for researching high-precision weapon equipment, the proportion occupied by the high-power-beam high-precision weapon equipment in the industry is increased, and. The high-energy beam processing field further covers various aspects such as welding, cutting, etching, surface modification, spraying, vapor deposition and the like, and plays an important role in various fields such as aerospace, ships, weapons, nuclear energy, traffic, medical treatment and the like.
The quality and the application development of high-energy beam processing are closely related to the beam quality of the high-energy beam, and the beam quality mainly has two connotations: firstly, the stability and secondly the shape and energy distribution of the beam. Therefore, the heat flux density is measured when the distance between the beam and the nozzle is different from the cross section impact plane, whether the beam state and the energy distribution are good or not is further analyzed, and the method plays an extremely important role in improving the processing capacity and the processing quality.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention provides a method for measuring the heat flow density distribution of a high-energy beam on a specific section impact plane by applying material surface phase change hardening and through experiments and simulation fitting.
The high-energy beam is characterized in that the heat flux density is uniformly distributed in the radial direction and the descending gradient in the axial direction is small. The characteristic is that the heat flow density distribution form of any section of the high-energy beam generally follows Gaussian distribution. Expressed by formula 1-1 as follows:
in the formula, qHmIs the maximum heat flow density, r is the distance from the center of the hot spot, and the total heat energy (Q) within the cross-sectional hot spot is expressed by the formula 1-2:
therefore, the temperature of the molten metal is controlled,
95% of the total heat energy (Q) will be concentrated within this hot spot, and thus the relationship between Q and k can be expressed as equations 1-4:
simplified formulas 1-4 result:
q is related to the high energy beam input power and can be expressed as formulas 1-6:
where P is the input power of the high energy beam, β is a coefficient related to heat loss (due to the cooling system of the high energy beam and the distance of the generator nozzle from the substrate surface), and η is the heat absorption rate, which is related to the thermophysical parameters of the substrate.
Simultaneous 1-3, 1-5, 1-6 formulae 1-7 are as follows:
to simplify the calculation and reduce the number of unknowns, a corresponding constant coefficient δ is used, and δ is expressed by the following formula 1-8:
thus, qH(r) may be expressed as formulas 1 to 9:
when the high-energy beam acts on the iron-based material for a period of time, the material can generate crescent phase change hardening, and the size of the obtained heat affected zone can directly reflect the heat flux density distribution rule of the high-energy beam. Based on the principle, the same technological parameters as those of the experiment are set in the numerical simulation, the same phase change region is obtained by adjusting the coefficient, and then the coefficient is brought into the heat flow density distribution formula (1-9), so that the cross-section heat flow density distribution can be obtained.
The specific determination steps are as follows:
step 1: selecting an iron-based material, processing the iron-based material into a set standard shape as a base material, adjusting the distance between the surface of the base material and a nozzle of a high-energy beam generator to be a vertical distance d = 1-500 mm, then setting the scanning speed to be a speed which does not melt the surface of the base material to be 10-3000 mm/min, and then performing single-pass quenching hardening operation;
step 2: cutting the base material along the hardened section, and observing the size (width W and depth D) of the hardened area under a microscope after polishing and corrosion;

And 5: adjustment ofδAnd rHSo as to simulate the width W of the hardened zone1And depth D1Approximately the same size as the width W and depth D of the actual hardened zone;

HSubstituting into formula
(P is power, r is distance from the center of the circular spot), the heat flow density distribution of the high-energy beam at the position d away from the nozzle can be obtained.
The method for measuring the heat flux density of the high-energy beam has the following advantages:
1. the operation is simple, and a special receiving target plate is not needed. Because the hardening area of the iron-based material is used as the standard for measuring the heat flux density, only the common iron-based material is used as a base material, and a special receiving target plate does not need to be manufactured and a special probe is not needed to be installed on the target plate. The experimental process is simple and easy to operate, because the probe does not need to be arranged, the error caused by the inconsistency of the probe is avoided, and the cost required in the measuring process is low;
2. a continuous heat flow density distribution equation can be obtained. Comparing the heat affected zone fitted by finite element simulation with the actual hardening zone, and substituting the obtained parameter values into a formula to obtain a complete continuous equation;
3. the application range is wide. The measuring method is widely applicable to various high-energy fluids, the hardening area can be obtained only by adjusting the type of the base material and the scanning speed, and the heat flow density distribution is further obtained by fitting simulation.
