Description

Tracing method for metal plastic flow in ultrasonic welding process
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of ultrasonic welding, in particular to a metal plastic flow tracing method in an ultrasonic welding process. The tracing method is characterized in that metal foils with certain thicknesses are overlapped together, then the metal foils are placed between a lower sound pole and an upper sound pole of ultrasonic equipment for ultrasonic welding, and the plastic flow direction of metal in the ultrasonic welding process is displayed by observing the relative positions, deformation, bulging, fracture and other conditions of all layers of metal foils, so that the tracing purpose of the plastic flow of the metal is achieved.
Background
With the popularization of electric vehicles and the advancement of automotive technology, new requirements are placed on the connection of multilayer laminates, highly reflective and conductive materials in battery cells. Compared with the traditional fusion welding technology, the research and the industrial application of the ultrasonic welding technology are more and more extensive due to the elimination of metallurgical defects such as intermetallic compounds (IMC), brittle phases and pores in liquid phase reaction of a fusion zone, the research on the welding mechanism of the ultrasonic welding method has important significance for promoting and expanding the industrial application of the ultrasonic welding method, and the research on the plastic flow direction of metal in the ultrasonic welding process is a main technical method for clarifying the welding mechanism of the ultrasonic welding. The current commonly used tracing method for material flow during welding is particle embedding. The main principle of the method is that a small hole is drilled at a specific position of a workpiece, certain powder different from the chemical composition of the workpiece is embedded into the hole to serve as tracer particles, the tracer particles move along with the flow of welding metal in the welding process and are redistributed in a welding seam, and the final state distribution change of the tracer particles at the specific position is analyzed after welding, so that the flow rule of plastic metal is indirectly deduced (as shown in figure 1).
For example, Peng et al obtained the rule of influence of wire filling on the flow of the molten pool surface by a SiC particle tracing method, and analyzed the influence of different welding processes, wire filling modes and wire feeding angles on the fluctuation behavior of the molten pool surface and the weld formation (influence of laser wire filling welding on the dynamic behavior of the molten pool and the weld formation, Chinese laser, 11 th stage in 2017, pages 66-73).
For example, in the invention patent "method for tracking electromagnetic pulse welding metal jet by using tracer particles" (CN 110666331 a), blind holes are drilled on the surface to be welded of an aluminum plate, zirconia powder is added as tracer particles, zirconia follows the jet flow on the metal surface after collision, and the distribution of the metal jet flow is represented in the interface distribution range by using the zirconia powder. The zirconium oxide has high melting point, so that the interference of other factors in the movement process of the metal jet flow is avoided, and the distribution of the metal jet flow can be effectively expressed by virtue of the distribution of the zirconium oxide in the interface.
However, the conventional tracing method is added into the metal plate through powder, which has disadvantages of cumbersome process, narrow tracing area, interference of added powder particles with plastic flow of metal, and the like.
The invention superposes metal foils with certain thickness together, flattens the upper and lower surfaces, then places the metal foils between the lower sonotrode and the upper sonotrode of ultrasonic equipment for ultrasonic welding, and displays the plastic flow direction of metal in the ultrasonic welding process by observing the relative position, deformation, bulge, fracture and other conditions between the metal foils, thereby realizing the tracing of the plastic flow of the metal in the ultrasonic welding process.

The ultrasonic welding joint is directly observed without adding a tracer material, so that the interference of metal plastic flow in the welding process caused by the addition of the tracer material is avoided; meanwhile, the welding joint is composed of a plurality of layers of metal foils, and the metal plastic flow state of the whole welding joint in a large range and a three-dimensional space can be traced; but also has the advantages of simple and rapid operation, low cost and the like.

The present invention is described below based on embodiments, and it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the drawings provided herein are for illustrative purposes and are not necessarily drawn to scale.
Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, throughout the description and the claims, the words "comprise", "comprising", and the like are to be construed in an inclusive sense as opposed to an exclusive or exhaustive sense; that is, what is meant is "including, but not limited to".
Example 1
FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing the ultrasonic welding apparatus and the metal copper foil being stacked. And connecting an ultrasonic generator with an energy converter, connecting the energy converter with an upper sound pole through an energy concentrator, and placing metal copper foils which are overlapped together between the upper sound pole and a lower sound pole. The procedure for tracing the plastic flow direction of metal in the ultrasonic welding process is as follows.
(1) And (3) superposing 20 layers of copper foils with the thickness of 0.01mm, and flattening the upper surface and the lower surface.
(2) And placing the metal foil laminate between a lower sound pole and an upper sound pole of ultrasonic equipment for ultrasonic welding, and obtaining the ultrasonic welding joint under the process parameter conditions of 1.5atm of welding pressure, 0.15s of welding time and 50% of amplitude.
(3) Cutting off the welding joint, and cold-embedding by using epoxy resin and an epoxy resin curing agent; then, grinding with 400#, 800#, 1200#, 2000#, 3000# sandpaper respectively; polishing the polished sample by using a polishing machine and adding a diamond suspension with the granularity of 0.25 mu m; and (3) putting the polished sample into a container filled with absolute ethyl alcohol, and then putting the container into an ultrasonic cleaning machine for ultrasonic cleaning, wherein the ultrasonic cleaning time is set to be 10 min. And taking out the cleaned sample, and then drying the sample to finally obtain the cross section of the bright ultrasonic welding joint.
(4) The relative position, deformation, bulging, fracture and the like of each layer of metal foil on the cross section are observed by an optical microscope, so that the plastic flow direction of the metal in the ultrasonic welding process is displayed, and the tracing of the plastic flow of the metal in the ultrasonic welding process is realized (as shown in figure 3 a). The black thick arrows in fig. 3e, f, g indicate the metal plastic flow direction, the protrusion of the laminated copper foil can be clearly seen from fig. 3b to form a peak, the main information is refined and the secondary information is simplified to obtain fig. 3e, and the metal plastic flow direction at the position, namely the metal on both sides of the peak moves and gathers to the peak top position to form a convex peak can be clearly obtained by comparing with the original state of the foil lamination in fig. 2. This is due to the flow of metal material from the area under the upper sonotrode projection to fill the space at the upper sonotrode depression during the ultrasonic welding process. Fig. 3f shows that the fracture occurs at the junction of the projection and the recess of the upper sonotrode, along with the progress of the welding process, the metal filling the space at the recess of the upper sonotrode gradually increases to a certain value and does not increase, the metal near the recess of the upper sonotrode does not gather at the recess any more, but is continuously extruded to move towards the opposite direction, the metal at the recess of the upper sonotrode continuously moves to be matched with and fills the recess of the upper sonotrode, and therefore the copper foil is stretched to cause the fracture. For the same reason, fig. 3g also illustrates the plastic flow direction of the metal. At the initial stage of the welding process, the laminated copper foil is gathered towards the concave part of the upper sonotrode, the metal containing amount of the concave part reaches the maximum value along with the progress of the welding process, and the copper foil is not gathered towards the concave part, but is continuously compressed, and further deforms and overlaps.

FIG. 4f shows the metal on both sides of the peak moving and gathering to the top of the peak to form a convex peak. Fig. 4f shows the stretching of the copper foil resulting in fracture. Similarly, FIG. 4g also illustrates the direction of plastic flow of the metal.
Example 3
The number of the copper foil layers in example 1 was changed to 50 layers, and the ultrasonic welded joint was obtained under the process parameters of welding pressure of 2.0atm, welding time of 0.15s, and amplitude of 60% in the same manner as the other steps, thereby tracing the plastic flow of the metal during the ultrasonic welding process (as shown in fig. 5 a). The black thick arrows in fig. 5e, f, g indicate the metal plastic flow direction, it can be clearly seen from fig. 5b that the laminated copper foil forms an indent, the main information is extracted and the secondary information is simplified to obtain fig. 5e, and by comparing with the original state of the foil lamination in fig. 2, the metal plastic flow direction at the position can be clearly obtained, that is, the metal on both sides of the indent moves and gathers to the valley position, and then the valley of the indent is formed. Fig. 5g shows the stretching of the copper foil resulting in fracture, and fig. 5g shows the direction of plastic flow of the metal. FIG. 5f shows the metal on both sides of the peak moving and gathering to the top of the peak to form a convex peak.
The ultrasonic welding joint is directly observed without adding a tracer material, so that the interference of metal plastic flow in the welding process caused by the addition of the tracer material is avoided; meanwhile, the welding joint is composed of a plurality of layers of metal foils, and the metal plastic flow state of the whole welding joint in a large range and a three-dimensional space can be traced; but also has the advantages of simple and rapid operation, low cost and the like.
