Description

Laser gas alloying method and laser gas alloying device for metal surface
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal surface alloying, in particular to a metal surface laser gas alloying method and a laser gas alloying device.
Background
Laser surface alloying is a method of heating and melting the surface layer of a substrate and an additive element by using a high-energy laser beam, and rapidly solidifying the mixture to form a new surface alloy layer based on the raw material. Laser gas alloying is one of them, and is to inject a gas (such as nitrogen, oxygen, carburizing atmosphere, etc.) capable of reacting with the base metal to form a strengthening phase into the metal molten pool, and react with the base metal to form a compound alloy layer.
Taking titanium alloy as an example, the application environment and service condition of titanium alloy often have higher requirements on wear resistance, and the problem of poor wear resistance of titanium alloy base material leads to short service life of the structure or the titanium alloy base material cannot meet the requirements of actual production and application, so that the application of titanium alloy is greatly limited. When titanium alloy is used as sliding parts such as valves, guide rods, piston pins, and connecting rod shafts, it tends to adhere to the material and cause wear. Titanium alloy is adopted in a large number of high-performance blades such as partial intermediate temperature blade matrixes of aero-engines and gas turbine compressors, last-stage large blades of steam turbines and the like, but the titanium alloy matrixes cannot meet the service environment of wear resistance and corrosion resistance. Therefore, how to prepare a deep high-performance wear-resistant layer with good combination on the surface of the titanium alloy and bear a worse service environment is an important technical problem for expanding the application range of the titanium alloy.
The laser gas nitriding is a commonly used method for strengthening the surface of the titanium alloy at present, and the method actually utilizes a high-energy laser beam to melt the surface of the titanium alloy in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere, and the nitrogen and the high-temperature titanium alloy molten metal in a molten pool generate strong chemical/metallurgical interaction under the irradiation action of the high-energy laser beam, so that the chemical components and the composition of the molten metal in the molten pool are obviously changed, and finally, a nitrided layer taking hard titanium nitride as a strengthening phase is obtained after rapid solidification.
However, the thickness of the nitriding layer is within 0.5mm at present, but in order to adapt to more use environments, the depth of the nitriding layer on the metal surface, namely the alloying layer, needs to be increased, the penetration depth is increased by increasing the power of laser in the conventional method, but the method causes the increase of heat input to deteriorate the performance of a substrate, the obtained nitriding layer has low nitrogen content, the strength of the nitriding layer is poor, the two are difficult to be obtained at the same time, and the use range of the technology is greatly limited.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a metal surface laser gas alloying method, which aims to solve the problem that the thickness and the content of alloying elements on the surface of metal can not be obtained at the same time in the prior art; meanwhile, the invention also aims to provide a laser gas alloying device for implementing the method.
In order to realize the purpose, the metal surface gas alloying method adopts the following technical scheme: a laser gas alloying method for metal surface features that the laser beams emitted by carbon dioxide laser and short-wavelength laser are simultaneously irradiated to the area to be alloyed on metal surface, and the alloying gas is used as reaction atmosphere, and the wavelength of the laser beam emitted by short-wavelength laser is less than 10640 nm.
The short-wavelength laser is selected from one of Nd, semiconductor laser and free electron laser.
The short-wavelength laser is an Nd-YAG laser, and the wavelength of a laser beam emitted by the Nd-YAG laser is 1064 nm.
The laser gas alloying device for implementing the metal surface gas alloying method adopts the following technical scheme: the laser gas alloying device comprises a carbon dioxide laser and a short-wavelength laser, wherein a laser processing head of the carbon dioxide laser and a laser processing head of the short-wavelength laser face to a to-be-alloyed area on the surface of the metal, so that laser beams emitted by the two lasers can simultaneously irradiate the to-be-alloyed area on the surface of the metal; the wavelength of the laser beam emitted by the short-wavelength laser is less than 10640 nm; each laser is provided with an atmosphere cover, and the gas outlet of each atmosphere cover faces to a region to be alloyed on the metal surface to provide alloying gas as reaction gas atmosphere.
The short wavelength laser is selected from one of Nd, YAG, semiconductor and free electron laser.
The wavelength laser is an Nd-YAG laser, and the wavelength of a laser beam emitted by the Nd-YAG laser is 1064 nm.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the wavelength of the laser beam emitted by the carbon dioxide laser is 10640nm, the energy of the laser beam is easily absorbed by nitrogen, and through the effect of reverse bremsstrahlung, the alloying gas is ionized to form plasma, the plasma has higher energy and is more easily reacted with a molten pool, the content of alloying gas elements in the molten pool is increased, and the content of alloying gas elements in an alloying layer is increased, but the laser beam is not easily absorbed by metal, the metal absorption rate is low, so the molten pool is shallow, and the alloying layer is also shallow. The laser beam emitted by the short-wavelength laser is easier to be absorbed by metal, so that the depth of a molten pool and the depth of an alloying layer can be increased, but the short-wavelength laser is not easy to be absorbed by alloying gas, the alloying gas is not easy to ionize to form plasma, the plasma is not easy to react with the molten pool, the content of gas elements in the molten pool is low, and the content of gas elements in the alloying layer is low. The carbon dioxide laser and the short wavelength laser are compounded to alloy the laser gas on the surface of the metal, so that the advantages of the carbon dioxide laser and the short wavelength laser can be exerted, namely, the laser beam emitted by the carbon dioxide laser can cause the ionization of the alloying gas, the content of gas elements in an alloying layer is increased, the laser beam emitted by the short wavelength laser is more easily and efficiently absorbed by the metal, the melting depth of a molten pool and the depth of the alloying layer are increased, and the thickness of the alloying layer and the content of the alloying elements can be simultaneously considered.
