Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for laser welding components made of superalloys and to an apparatus therefor.
- the disadvantage of such a method is the complex heating of the component to 1050 ° C.
- the heat affected zone of the welding area or the weld seam is larger compared to the cold welding, the contour of the component cannot be built up exactly and the risk of welding sag is unavoidable with thin walls.
- the additional preheating also makes the process expensive and reduces productivity.
- the weld pool is negatively affected by the induction coil.
- the invention is based on the knowledge that this object can be achieved by monitoring and regulating the work process of laser welding.
- the object is therefore achieved by a method for laser welding of super alloys, the power of the laser being regulated as a function of the temperature of the weld pool in the method.
- the process-controlled laser power enables very thin wall thicknesses to be welded without welding sag.
- both single-crystal or directionally solidified nickel and cobalt super alloys can be welded.
- the quantity of the precipitates, their shape or their size can be influenced, for example, by quickly passing through a temperature range in which certain precipitates form. These circumstances can be taken into account when setting the power of the laser.
- the laser power is calculated based on the temperature measurement using mathematical functions.
- the method is preferably carried out on a cold workpiece.
- a cold workpiece or component Designated workpiece that is not preheated or preheated and thus essentially has the ambient temperature.
- the components do not need to be preheated to, for example, 1050 degrees, as is necessary in prior art methods.
- One advantage here is that the absence of preheating means that the heat input is lower and that the contour of the component can be built up again exactly. In this way, the effort can be considerably reduced in a grinding step that may be connected downstream.
- the temperature of the weld pool is recorded pyrometrically. Due to the energy introduced by means of the laser beam, a melt pool or weld pool is formed from the material. Electromagnetic radiation is emitted from the laser beam-material interaction zone. These can be recorded by a pyrometer and used to determine the temperature. This non-contact determination of the temperature of the weld pool makes it possible to place the measuring device in a suitable position relative to the workpiece and the weld pool. As a result, the temperature, which serves as an input variable for the temperature-based regulation of the power according to the invention, can be reliably determined.
- the temperature measurement can take place through the laser focusing optics.
- the temperature can be detected by a partially transparent mirror and a lens provided for deflecting the laser beam. This ensures that the temperature in the area of the effective zone between the material and the laser beam is always detected.
- the method according to the present invention can preferably be carried out automatically, in particular by means of a CNC system.
- automating the method in particular the feed, ie the relative movement between the workpiece and the laser beam, can be set precisely and reproducibly on the basis of predeterminable data.
- the component target contour and the component actual contour, the data for the course of the welding path and all parameter-relevant data can be used for automation.
- the dwell time of the laser beam can be set precisely at one point.
- the temperature measurement and control of the laser power additionally provided according to the invention ensure that temperature-time regimes are adhered to exactly and thus crack-free build-up welding of superalloys can be achieved.
- Super alloys which can be treated with the method according to the invention are, in particular, gamma-phase-hardenable super alloys. These alloys, in which the hardening is achieved by precipitation of the gamma phase, can be present both as a single crystal and as an alloy with directionally solidified precipitates.
- the power of the laser is preferably set, i.e. Regulated based on the temperature of the weld pool during welding, that there is a temperature balance of the formation of the gamma phases, through which the gamma phases are excreted in a non-crack-critical area.
- the method according to the invention is preferably a laser cladding welding method, which is used, for example, in the machining of turbine blade tips.
- the method according to the invention can also be used for other welding processes on components for gas turbines or for aircraft engines which are made of superalloys.
- the filler material in the form of a powder or in the form of a wire can be added concentrically to the laser beam or to the side.
- the method according to the invention comprises the steps of positioning the workpiece, detecting the workpiece contour, generating an NC code, moving the component into a protective gas chamber, temperature-controlled laser deposition welding and extending the workpiece.
- the present invention relates to a device for laser welding a superalloy, comprising a laser beam source, a process control unit, a temperature detection unit and an addition device for filler materials.
- the device is characterized in that the process control unit comprises a controller, which is connected to the temperature detection unit and the laser source.
- the controller is connected to the control unit of the laser source the one that is used to set the laser power.
- the power to be set is obtained in the controller based on the temperature values determined by the temperature detection unit.
- a further unit for processing and forwarding the data recorded by the temperature detection unit can be provided. However, this processing and forwarding unit can also be integrated in the temperature detection unit.
- the temperature detection unit is preferably designed so that the temperature of the weld pool is detected.
- the addition device allows the filler material to be fed in concentrically with the laser beam. However, it is also possible to feed the filler material laterally to the laser beam.
- the filler material can be supplied in powder form or as wire.
- the device preferably comprises a holding device for holding and fastening the workpiece, this being connected to the control unit and the holding device being controlled via the control unit.
- a targeted relative movement of the workpiece to the laser beam and thus compliance with a temperature-time regime can be achieved.
- the recording device controlled by a separate control unit.
- the temperature control strategy that is used by the controller is preferably taken into account in the separate control unit in order to be able to adhere to a predetermined temperature-time regime.
- Figure 1 is a schematic block diagram of the plant technology of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.
- Figure 2 another schematic view of an embodiment of the device according to the invention.

- a workpiece or component 38 can be held in the protective gas chamber 36, which is only shown in FIG. 2, in a holding device 40, which is shown as a quick-action clamping device.
- the component 38 which, for example and as indicated in FIG. 2, can represent a turbine blade, is positioned with the quick-action clamping device 40 with high repeatability.

- the component contour is recorded using a laser scanner (not shown), which is positioned above the component 38 by means of CNC axes 42.
- the actual contour of the component 38 is determined using software (not shown) using the measured data.
