Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for hardening the inner contour of a weapon barrel with laser radiation.
- the weapon barrel which is usually made of steel, with a hard metal layer, e.g. one Chrome layer or a chromium-containing alloy layer (e.g. a cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy), to provide.
- a hard metal layer e.g. one Chrome layer or a chromium-containing alloy layer (e.g. a cobalt-chromium-tungsten alloy)
- a disadvantage of such gun barrels is that the application of the application layer is process-technical is relatively complex and often flaking and washing out of this layer occur, which reduce the life of the gun barrels.
- a disadvantage of this known laser arrangement is that the use of the CO 2 laser requires a relatively rigid beam guidance system, so that the processing space is limited. In addition, it cannot be deduced from this document how the relative movement required between the weapon barrel and the laser head could be realized.
- a device is known, with the aid of which defective pipes a Pressurized water reactor can be repaired. This is done in the defective pipe area a sleeve is inserted into the respective tube and welded to the inner wall by means of laser light.
- the known device comprises an Nd: YAG laser and one along the Tube axis which can be displaced and which contains a beam deflecting optics, which is connected to the laser via an optical fiber.
- the laser head is on one Pipe centered and movable in the direction of the pipe axis attached pull rod.
- the present invention has for its object a device for transformation hardening to specify the inner contour of a gun barrel with which the gun barrel is very precise and homogeneous can be hardened and with their intended use an enlargement of the processing space connected is.
- the invention is based on the idea of using an ND: YAG laser as a laser, since glass fibers can be used for the transmission of the laser beam due to the shorter wavelength of 1.06 ⁇ m compared to CO 2 lasers.
- the laser head is (supportable and therefore on the pipe walls) at a centerable in the weapon barrel by the attachment and egg ner program-controlled Keyseating maintained very exactly the focal position of the laser beam during the curing process in the direction of the bore axis of the weapon barrel displaceable draw rod.
- the program-controlled grooving machine the drawbar can be pulled through the gun barrel in a program-controlled manner on a defined slide using a machine slide. The relative focus position of the laser beam always remains constant due to the bushings carried in the tube.
- FIG. 1 shows the side view of a gun barrel to be hardened in connection with a laser system and a program-controlled groove drawing machine.
- 1 designates the weapon barrel, which is aligned on the groove-pulling machine 2 and is fixed.
- the pull rod 3 of the grooving machine extends within the weapon barrel 1 along the soul axis 4 and is supported on the inner surface 5 of the barrel 1 over two guide bushings 6 and 7.
- a laser head 10 is arranged at the end 9 of the pull rod 3, which via an optical fiber 11 with an Nd: YAG laser 12 (e.g. with 2 kW output power).
- the laser head 10 is via a first hose line 13 with a cooling device 14 and a second Hose line 15 with a protective gas source 16 (e.g. with Argon-filled gas bottle).
- the laser head 10 essentially comprises a facet mirror 17, the laser beam coming from the optical fiber 11 on the inner surface 5 of the weapon barrel 1 to be hardened focused, and that due to the occurring in operation enormous heat generation by a coolant, which over the hose line 13 is supplied, can be cooled.
- the laser head 10 is also with a second tube or Hose line 15 connected via a protective gas during transformation hardening on the heated surface of the barrel flows and a deteriorating surface quality Prevents oxide layer formation.
- both drawn gun barrels as well as gun barrels with a smooth barrel profile transformation hardening are drawn gun barrels as well as gun barrels with a smooth barrel profile transformation hardening.
- steel pipes go down to a depth of 0.4 to 0.8 mm let transformation hardening, the hardened surface areas had between 600 and 750 HV.
- the invention comprises Device an electronic control device 18 with which the laser power is regulated and which one on the laser 12 downstream closure unit 19 acts and the correct operation of the laser system constantly monitored such that in the event of a defect, e.g. at a fiber break in the optical fiber or an interrupted one or insufficient cooling of the facet mirror etc., the The gun barrel interrupts the hardening process.
- a defect e.g. at a fiber break in the optical fiber or an interrupted one or insufficient cooling of the facet mirror etc.
- control device 18 is preferred connected to the control device 21 for the groove drawing machine.
- this makes the flexible design of Machining cycles and on the other hand the monitoring of safety-related interlocks guaranteed.
- a third pipe or hose line is provided be through the compressed air or nitrogen across the jet outlet of the laser head is passed through this directed gas flow, the mirror optics and the interior protect the laser head from dirt.
