Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for laser deposition welding, a method for operating such a device and a component produced with such a device and / or such a method.
  • Laser deposition welding is a process for surface treatment (e.g. coating, repair) and for the additive manufacturing of components with wire or powdered filler materials. Due to the greater robustness with regard to adjustment errors in the process equipment and the greater flexibility in the selection of materials, powdered filler materials are predominantly used.
  • the powder is introduced into a melt pool generated by a laser beam on a surface of a component at a defined angle by means of a powder nozzle.
  • part of the laser radiation is absorbed by the powder.
  • the unabsorbed portion is (multiple) reflected or transmitted.
  • the part of the radiation absorbed by the powder particles leads to the powder particles being heated, while the part of the radiation that is transmitted creates the weld pool.
  • the particles of the filler material are solid and / or partially or completely liquid before entering the weld pool.
  • the material of the melt pool moves out of the area of influence of the laser radiation and solidifies to form a layer.
  • the prerequisite for producing defect-free, melt-metallurgically bonded layers is to provide process heat that is sufficient to initiate a temperature-time cycle that ensures both the substrate and the filler material melt.
  • further process parameters e.g. feed speed, track spacing, Beam diameter, material supply, etc.
  • the powder can be injected laterally or coaxially into the weld pool.
  • feed rates d. H. Relative speeds of the component compared to the laser beam, typically between 0.2 m / min and 2 m / min.
  • feed rates typically between 0.2 m / min and 2 m / min.
  • the material supplied is melted above the surface by means of a correspondingly focused laser beam with high power, so that it already reaches the melt pool on the surface of the component in the melted state, which enables the component to be processed more quickly further increased feed speeds in the range> 150 m / min.
  • DE 102011 100456 B4 With the method according to DE 102011 100456 B4, the area rate is now higher (thus the coating duration is shorter) than with the conventional method, despite the greater area rate, DE 10 2011 100 456 B4 does not provide any approaches to increasing the application rate (amount of powder applied per unit of time) .
  • the materials are applied in wider or less wide build-up weld tracks with a thickness that varies over the width of the build-up weld track.
  • the cross-section of such a build-up weld line perpendicular to the feed direction in which the laser beam moves over the component is generally dome-shaped with a maximum layer thickness in the middle of the build-up weld line and a thickness that decreases towards zero towards the edges of the build-up weld line.
  • the molten bath movement and adhering, only partially melted powder particles generally result in a high surface roughness (compared to conventional manufacturing processes, e.g. turning, milling, grinding). If an even layer of applied material is desired as the end product, the applied layer must be reworked.
  • This post-processing is time-consuming. Depending on the waviness and roughness of the layer, a lot of applied material may have to be removed again for smoothing. Especially with hard layers or hard grains in composite layers, the conventional smoothing causes a time-consuming post-processing step, which, if necessary, can mechanically wear the smoothing agent heavily and thus increase the tool costs.
  • a device for laser deposition welding with a laser deposition welding unit with at least one laser deposition welding head arranged thereon, one or more material sources for supplying the laser deposition welding head with a material to be deposited and a laser beam source for supplying the laser deposition welding head with laser light for performing the laser deposition welding, the device being designed for this purpose is, the application of material layers from adjacent build-up weld tracks on a surface of a component in the form of at least one first layer made of a material comprising structures protruding from the surface of the first layer with a first hardness and a second layer applied thereon made of a material with a second hardness less than the first hardness, wherein the application process is controlled so that the second layer at least the structures protruding from the first layer partially covered.

  • the laser cladding head comprises, for example, optics for the laser beam and a powder feed nozzle including an adjustment unit for the material to be applied, possibly with an integrated, local protective gas supply.

How many laser cladding welding heads can be present in the device is in the Usually a geometric problem and is determined by the size of the laser deposition welding heads and the component to be processed.
  • laser deposition welding head refers to the unit which, by means of the laser beam passed through it, creates a laser weld point on the surface of the component to be processed, and which melts the material also passing through it in the laser beam on the way to the surface of the component, so that it melts when it hits the surface of the component is welded to it.

  • the applied material can, for example, be provided in powder form for laser deposition welding. Any material suitable for laser deposition welding can be used as the material.
  • the material can comprise or consist of metals and / or metal-ceramic composites (so-called MMCs). A person skilled in the art can select the materials that are suitable for the respective laser deposition welding process.
  • the material can be fed to the laser heads from a single conveyor unit.
  • the device can, however, also comprise several conveying units, whereby the laser cladding heads can be supplied with different materials, so that the cladding tracks generated by different laser cladding heads can comprise the same or different materials or the material supply to one or more laser cladding heads during the laser cladding can be from one conveying unit to one changed or switched over to another conveyor unit with a different material.
  • Material layers are produced from material traces applied next to one another at least partially overlapping. How many juxtaposed material tracks are required to provide a surface of the component with a material layer depends, among other things, on the material width of the respective material track.
  • the material width is determined by the details of the design of the laser deposition welding heads, such as, for example, material beam width, laser energy, expansion of the laser focus and / or process speed.

  • the material of the second layer is a metal or a metal alloy. Layers of metal can be reworked easily and in a defined manner. In a In a preferred embodiment, the material of the second layer is the matrix material of the first layer. This makes it possible to produce a good material bond between the first and second layer, since the first layer differs from the second layer only in the presence of the structures protruding from the first layer.

  • the surface roughness of the coated component corresponds to that of the surface of the second layer.

  • Components with a completely covering second layer can be used, for example, as or in drill heads to improve the external wear protection.
  • Components with a second layer that does not completely cover can be used, for example, as brake disks, since the friction provided by the structures and the second layer is sufficient.

Due to the thin shape of the structures, the energy injected by the laser beam cannot flow away quickly enough via the structure into the second layer, so that the remaining needles are heated up and evaporate without the applied second layer becoming too strong heat. A laser beam guided accordingly over the surface evaporates the structures that are still protruding and thus significantly smooths the surface.
  • the laser beam smooths the surface in a continuous process in which the structures do not are recorded separately, but depending on the length in a statistical process pass through the laser beam and thus smoothed or evaporated.
