The specific embodiment
Refer to shown in Fig. 1, the invention provides a kind of twin-laser that adopts and metal material is implemented to the method for laser weld, comprise the steps:
Step 1: with sand paper, welding material is cleared up, and welding material is fixed on jig, ready.
Step 2: adopt twin-laser to produce two bundle laser, this two bundles Laser Focusing is in the surface of welding material, described twin-laser is respectively quasi-continuous laser and continuous wave laser, this quasi-continuous laser peak power output is 100-500W, pulse width is 50-200ns, repetition rate is 10kHz-30kHz, and peak power is greater than 10
5w, described continuous wave laser peak power output is 500-10000W, described welding material is aluminium alloy, copper alloy, fine aluminium or pure copper material;
Because aluminium alloy and copper alloy have higher reflectivity, for Laser Welding of Aluminum Alloys, copper alloy laser weld, be difficult for forming molten bath, solderability is poor.Quasi-continuous laser has higher peak power, can reach 10
5w/cm
2above, have under the laser beam condition of high-peak power, aluminium alloy and copper alloy surface easily form molten bath, and liquid molten bath can increase the absorptivity of welding material to laser beam energy.
Although the laser beam that quasi-continuous laser produces has very high peak power, but be limited to current technical merit, the mean power of the type laser beam is no more than 1000W conventionally, only adopt quasi-continuous laser to implement welding to aluminium alloy, copper alloy, because mean power is low, the depth of weld is less.Although and the laser beam that continuous wave laser produces can not reach larger peak power, can reach higher mean power, such as 10000W, even higher.Therefore, in conjunction with quasi-continuous laser and the two advantage of continuous wave laser, adopt continuous wave laser to produce continuous laser beam while irradiation at the same position on welding material surface, because can making welding material surface melting, quasi-continuous lasing bundle forms molten bath, liquid welding material has very high absorptivity to laser beam, the larger continuous laser beam energy absorption of power can be arrived to welding material, forms darker weld seam, can realize higher welding efficiency, also can improve the quality of welding.
Step 3: at the surface of welding material side-blown protective gas, described side-blown protective gas, this protection gas is Ar gas, He gas or N gas, or the gas of the arbitrary proportion of Ar gas, He gas and N gas mixing;
Laser beam welding, more than welding material temperature raises rapidly and reaches boiling point, above welding material molten bath, form plasma, metal vapors etc., especially plasma has certain shielding action to laser beam, the laser energy that arrives molten bath is reduced, in addition airborne oxygen welding process easily and welding material react, welding material is oxidized.In laser beam welding, at welding material surface side-blown protective gas, can dispel plasma, and on welding material surface, form the atmosphere of inert gas, can effectively avoid the welding material oxidation of high temperature.The effect of side-blown gas has determined that side-blown gas must be inert gas, and is difficult for being ionized.Be generally Ar gas, He gas or N gas, or the mist of Ar gas, He gas, N gas arbitrary proportion.
Step 4: beam of laser is occurred by quasi-continuous laser, makes welding material surface melting form molten bath, and the pulse peak power of this beam of laser can reach 10
5w magnitude, can change the surface microscopic topographic of aluminium alloy;
Quasi-continuous lasing is produced by quasi-continuous laser, and process Optical Fiber Transmission is to laser head, after line focus, the focus of quasi-continuous lasing bundle is acted on to the surface of welding material, because quasi-continuous lasing beam pulse width only has 50-200nm, therefore can obtain very high peak power density, within the extremely short time, make welding material temperature reach fusing point, thereby form molten bath.
Step 5: the second bundle continuous laser beam focuses on the welding material region of having melted;
The continuous laser beam that in current industrial, continuous wave laser produces, although there is no the peak power that quasi-continuous laser is so high, its mean power is conventionally higher, power output is commonly 500-10000W.In conjunction with quasi-continuous lasing bundle, can more give full play to the powerful advantage of continuous laser beam, the laser solderability of aluminium alloy and copper alloy is improved, welding quality improves.
In laser beam welding, the hot spot of first, second Shu Jiguang is 0-3mm in the surperficial spacing of welding material; When spacing is 0, the center superposition of two bundle laser beams; When spacing is greater than 0, the laser beam of quasi-continuous laser is positioned at the place ahead of welding direction, and the laser beam of continuous wave laser is positioned at the rear of welding direction, and the sweep speed of described first, second Shu Jiguang is 5-60mm/s; Quasi-continuous lasing Shu Qian, continuous laser beam are rear, in order to make welding material first form molten bath under quasi-continuous lasing Shu Zuoyong, then under the effect of continuous laser beam, continuous laser beam energy is had to larger absorptivity, improve the utilization rate of laser energy, improve aluminium alloy and copper alloy Laser Welding Quality.
Step 6: this two bundles laser beam, with given sweep speed synchronizing moving, forms weld seam on the surface of welding material, completes welding.
First, second laser is produced by quasi-continuous laser and continuous wave laser respectively, by optical fiber, laser head, focus on welding material surface respectively, two processing heads are fixed on the end of same industrial robot or lathe, by adjusting two processing head spacing and relative angles, the laser beam of quasi-continuous laser output is positioned at the place ahead of welding direction, and the laser beam of continuous-wave laser output is positioned at the rear of welding direction.By computer control industrial robot or machine tool motion, make first, second laser synchronization motion, make the fusing of welding material experience, natural cooling process, form weld seam.
Because quasi-continuous lasing bundle makes aluminum alloy surface, form molten bath, aluminium alloy is significantly improved the absorptivity of continuous laser, welding process is without welding wire.Weld seam pattern is good, no significant defect, and weld seam tensile strength can reach the more than 90% of mother metal.
