Description

Method for repairing 7-series aluminum alloy through small-spot laser additive under atmosphere protection condition
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of additive repair of aluminum alloy materials, and particularly relates to a method for repairing 7-series aluminum alloy by using small-spot laser additive under the atmosphere protection condition.
Background
Aluminum alloys are distinguished from numerous materials due to excellent properties such as light weight, excellent formability, high strength, good plasticity, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, good sealing performance, high recycling rate and the like, and are very popular in the industrial fields such as aerospace, rail transit and the like. Particularly in the manufacture of rail transit equipment, the aluminizing rate is continuously improved, and the method is the most effective method for realizing the large-size widening of the section bar and reducing the self weight of the vehicle body.
However, along with the increase of the speed and the service life of the train, the damage (such as fatigue crack, abrasion, erosion and the like) of the aluminum alloy train body parts can cause the parts to fail and even be scrapped. Under complicated working conditions, the aluminum alloy member is cracked to different degrees due to long-term operation, so that the cracking phenomenon is sometimes generated and unpredictability is not realized, and great hidden danger is caused to the life safety of people.
Aiming at the damaged parts of the aluminum alloy, the problem is mainly solved by adopting a new part replacement or welding repair technology at present. The direct abandonment or the damaged spare part of change will lead to the fact very big waste and cost expenditure, actually mostly adopt the welding repair means to solve preferentially.
At present, the main repairing methods for the damage of the aluminum alloy component of the rail transit train are many, such as welding, cladding, thermal spraying, brush plating and the like, and the repairing technologies are already applied to the repair of parts, but certain defects still exist.
For example, the repair layer obtained by the brush plating and thermal spraying technology is very thin (less than or equal to 0.3mm), is poorly combined with the substrate, is only suitable for surface repair, and cannot repair the damaged part of the shape; the fusion welding technology has large heat input and insufficient energy concentration, so that a heat affected zone of a repaired base body is large, the dilution rate is high, the performance of the repaired base body is reduced, and parts are easy to deform and even crack; the repair area obtained by brazing has large performance difference with the matrix, and the bonding with the matrix is relatively weak by welding, so that the repair area is not suitable for large-volume repair.
Therefore, the traditional repairing and remanufacturing technology has the defects of narrow application range, reduced performance of a repaired substrate, complex process, long production period, large heat input, weak combination with the substrate, thin repairing layer and the like, so that the existing achievement is difficult to meet the actual engineering application requirement.
Therefore, the repair problem of the aluminum alloy parts for the rail transit is a common key technical problem which needs to be solved urgently in the current stage of aluminum alloy welding, a new repair technology needs to be researched, and how to prolong the service life of the key structure of the rail transit vehicle is further explored.
The laser additive repair technology has the characteristics of high energy density, high cooling speed, low dilution rate of a cladding layer, extremely fine beam current, high machining precision, wide range of machinable materials, repair of complex shapes and the like, has great development potential in the technical field of remanufacturing, and is widely used for repairing aluminum alloy parts in recent years.
The laser repair of 7-series high-strength aluminum alloys has been studied in large numbers. In the previous research, the Al-Si powder is mostly adopted to repair the 7 series aluminum alloy, because the temperature range between the solid phase and the liquid phase of the Al-Si alloy is narrow, the dendritic crystal gap is small at a high cooling speed in the solidification process, the backfilling is easy, cracks are not easy to generate, the powder has good flowability, and the formability is excellent. However, since Al-Si alloys have lower strength than 7-series aluminum alloys, when the 7-series aluminum alloy substrates are repaired in a large area using these alloys, the mechanical properties of the entire parts are deteriorated.
The special aluminum-magnesium-scandium-zirconium-aluminum alloy powder is special high-strength aluminum alloy powder for additive manufacturing developed in two years, and can be used for printing a product with high strength and good fatigue performance. The powder laser additive repair of 7-series aluminum alloy has great guiding significance in improving the overall strength of a finished piece. However, the air hole defect in the process of repairing by adopting the special powder for the aluminum-magnesium-scandium-zirconium-aluminum alloy is still a problem which is difficult to eliminate, and the mechanical property and the fatigue resistance of the repaired copy piece are influenced to a certain extent.
Disclosure of Invention

According to the invention, by controlling the technological parameters such as laser power, powder feeding amount, scanning speed, powder carrying gas flow and the like, the interface of the repair area and the base material area is completely metallurgically bonded, the quality is good, no defects such as obvious pores, cracks and the like exist in the repair area, the density of the repair area is more than or equal to 99.9%, the room-temperature tensile property of a laser repair sample can reach 75% or more of the mechanical property of the base material, and the problems of pores, cracks and the like which are common in the process of laser repair of aluminum alloy are solved to a great extent.
When the aluminum alloy forging is subjected to laser material increase repair, a V-shaped groove is usually prefabricated, and the depth of the V-shaped groove covers the depth of a damaged part of the aluminum alloy. In the repairing process, the aluminum alloy material at the position of the V-shaped groove with a small angle reflects light seriously and has low laser absorption rate.

Preferably, in the pretreatment, the light emitting direction of the laser is controlled to be perpendicular to the inclined plane of the V-groove. In this state, laser material increase is carried out on one surface of the V-shaped groove, and the process is similar to the process of material increase of aluminum alloy powder on a plane, so that the defects of light reflection, insufficient energy and the like caused by laser repair angles can be reduced, and the absorption of the laser energy on the surface of the aluminum alloy is improved.
As one of the specific operation modes of the present invention, the inclination angle of the "groove inclination priming method" is 0.2 to 0.6 times the angle of the V-groove. The number of layers of the priming pre-repairing treatment is 1-2. And after finishing the priming pre-repairing treatment, aligning the aluminum alloy base material with the V-shaped groove, and continuously performing planar laser additive repairing by adopting a small light spot mode. In the invention, the angle of the V-shaped groove is 90-120 degrees, and the depth is 1-8 mm.
In the invention, the special aluminum-magnesium-scandium-zirconium-aluminum alloy powder comprises the following chemical components: cr is less than 0.01 percent, Fe is 0.05-0.2 percent, Mg7.0-12.0 percent, Mn0.4-0.6 percent, Ni is less than 0.01 percent, Sc0.15-0.6 percent, Si is 0.5-0.7 percent, Ti is less than 0.04 percent, Zr is 0.12-0.4 percent, O is less than 0.005 percent, N is less than 0.005 percent, H is less than 0.001 percent, and the balance is aluminum.
The method for repairing the aluminum alloy by the small-spot laser additive is suitable for 7-series aluminum alloys such as 7B05, 7003, 7020, 7050 and the like.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages:
1. according to the invention, the small light spot mode is adopted for laser material increase repair of the 7-series aluminum alloy, and the heat affected zone formed under the small light spot condition is small, so that the damage to the base material is small, and the defects of air holes, cracks and the like can be effectively reduced; on the basis, the interface of the repair area and the base material area is completely metallurgically combined by reasonably controlling the technological parameters such as laser power, powder feeding amount, scanning speed, powder carrying gas flow and the like, the quality is good, no defects such as obvious pores, cracks and the like exist in the repair area, the density of the repair area is more than or equal to 99.9 percent, the room-temperature tensile property of a laser repair sample can reach 75 percent or more of the mechanical property of the base material, and the problems of pores, cracks and the like which are common in the process of repairing the aluminum alloy by laser are solved to a great extent.
2.

(2) In order to improve the absorption of the surface of the aluminum alloy to laser energy, the surface of a sample is polished to remove an oxide film before laser repair.
(3) Setting small-spot laser repair process parameters
Repairing process parameters are as follows: the method comprises the steps of adopting powder feeding type laser repair equipment, setting laser repair power to be 1000W-1700W, setting the diameter of a light spot to be 1-3 mm, setting scanning speed to be 400-600 mm/min, setting the flow of powder gas to be 2-5L/min, introducing argon gas into an atmosphere protection cabin, and keeping the oxygen content to be less than or equal to 100 ppm. And maintaining the part in an inert atmosphere in the repairing process, and repairing the part in a small light spot mode.
(4) In the repairing process, because the aluminum alloy has low laser absorption rate and relatively serious light reflection, in order to ensure that the metallurgical quality of the interface between the aluminum alloy matrix and the repairing area is good and metallurgical defects such as unfused and the like do not occur at the interface joint, before repairing the V-shaped groove, the aluminum alloy substrate with the V-shaped groove is obliquely placed at a certain angle, and the placed angle is equal to 1/2 of the angle of the groove.
The concrete expression is that the inclined plane of the V-shaped groove which originally forms a certain angle with the laser light-emitting direction is firstly horizontally placed on a workbench, and the laser light-emitting direction and the inclined plane of the V-shaped groove are in a vertical state in real time.

And after the first inclined plane is machined (1-2 layers are machined in the same way), repeating the steps, and reversing the other inclined plane to continue forming the 1-2 layers of the groove.
(5) And returning the groove to be normal, and continuously using an NC program to carry out plane restoration on the V-shaped groove. Until the groove is repaired.
Effect verification
1. Microstructure:
comparative example 1
The aluminum alloy matrix obtained by the conventional repairing method is taken as a reference example. The conventional repairing method is a method for directly repairing the V-shaped groove in a common environment (air atmosphere and large light spot) without priming the V-shaped groove.
FIG. 1 shows the microstructure of a repair part obtained by a groove priming method.
FIG. 2 is a microstructure of a restoration obtained by a conventional restoration method in comparative example 1.
Comparing fig. 1 and fig. 2, it can be seen that after the sample is repaired by the groove slope priming method, the metallurgical bonding between the base material and the repaired interface is good, and the defects such as cracks and the like do not occur.
Comparative example 2
The comparison example provides a laser additive repair method for 7-series aluminum alloy, which is different from the example 1 in process parameters, wherein the specific repair process parameters are as follows:
adopting powder feeding type laser repair equipment, setting laser repair power at 1900W, setting the diameter of a light spot at 3mm, scanning speed at 800mm/min, introducing argon gas into an atmosphere protection cabin at a powder gas flow of 2-5L/min, and keeping the oxygen content less than or equal to 100 ppm. And maintaining the part in an inert atmosphere in the repairing process, and repairing the part in a small light spot mode.
The same method is adopted for detection, the result is shown in fig. 3, and the problems of pore enlargement, porosity increase, poor repair interface fusion and the like of the repaired aluminum alloy material occur due to mismatching of the process parameter settings, so that the influence of reasonably controlling the matching relationship of each process parameter on the repair effect is illustrated.
Comparative example 3
The comparison example provides a laser additive repair method for 7-series aluminum alloy, and the difference from the example 1 is that a groove inclined priming method is not adopted to carry out pretreatment on a prefabricated V-shaped groove.
The specific repair process parameters are as follows: powder feeding type laser repair equipment is adopted, laser repair power is set to be 1400W, the diameter of a light spot is 1.2mm, scanning speed is 600mm/min, powder gas flow is 2-5L/min, argon gas is introduced into an atmosphere protection cabin, and oxygen content is kept to be less than or equal to 100 ppm. And maintaining the part in an inert atmosphere in the repairing process, and repairing the part in a small light spot mode.
The same method is adopted for detection, the result is shown in fig. 4, and the problems of poor fusion and cracking occur at the repaired aluminum alloy interface joint due to the lack of groove priming auxiliary treatment, so that the influence of the groove inclined priming method on the repairing effect is explained.
2. Microhardness:
FIG. 5 shows the micro-hardness evolution trend of laser repaired 7B05 aluminum alloy, which is to irradiate the substrate area and the repair area respectively by taking the interface as an origin and make a point every 50 μm.
It can be found that the microhardness of the base material area is always kept at about 60Hv, and the microhardness of the heat affected area is basically consistent with that of the base material area because the laser additive repair energy is small and the influence on the change of the microstructure of the heat affected area is small.
After the high-energy laser beam enters the repair area, when the high-energy laser beam scans the matrix, the heat dissipation of the base material is faster, so that the temperature gradient is higher and the cooling speed is faster in the first layers of repair, the tissue stress in the transition area is more concentrated, and the increase of the microhardness is reflected in the hardness value. When the repair is continued along the deposition direction, the heat transfer of the workpiece enters a stable area, and the microhardness gradually tends to be stable and is stabilized at 80 Hv.
3. Mechanical properties
