你是否知道

激光束的入射方向及入射角度會直接影響焊縫熔池的形狀及其流動形態(tài)，這會對焊縫成型與性能產(chǎn)生重要影響。

為了了解激光束與焊縫的相對位置對焊縫的影響，我們做了兩次實(shí)驗(yàn)，分別用非高反材料和高反材料進(jìn)行測試。

本期【Rayclass | 銳課堂】首先來看看高功率多模組連續(xù)激光器RFL-C4000（纖芯100μm）在焊接非高反材料（不銹鋼為例）時(shí)受激光束入射相對位置對焊縫的影響規(guī)律。

試驗(yàn)過程

Experimental Procedure

按照設(shè)定好的參數(shù)進(jìn)行焊接試驗(yàn)，試驗(yàn)參數(shù)如下表所示，試驗(yàn)完成后對試板進(jìn)行線切割取樣，然后進(jìn)行金相制取并檢測分析。

The welding test is carried out according to the set parameters. The test parameters are shown in the following table. After the test is completed, the test plate is subjected to wire cutting sampling, and then the metallographic preparation is carried out and tested.

 

表1中所謂的光束入射方向表述是相對于焊接方向進(jìn)行確定的，如圖1所示，

Graph 3 Effect of beam position on penetration and melting width when welding aluminum alloy

(the abscissa value indicates the incident angle of the beam, the negative value indicates the forward tilt of the beam, and the positive value indicates the backward tilt of the beam.)

從表2和圖3可以看出，激光垂直入射焊接時(shí)的焊縫熔深最大，光束入射角度越大，熔深越淺，并且在同一入射角度時(shí)光束前傾相對于光束后傾的熔深略小。

It can be seen from Table 2 and Graph 3 that the weld penetration is maximum when laser perpendicular incidence welding. Meanwhile, the larger the incident angle of the beam, the shallower the penetration, and at the same angle of incidence, the depth of fusion of beam forward is slightly smaller than beam backward.

有學(xué)者郭鴻鵬對此進(jìn)行了深入研究，其主要結(jié)論可闡述為:主要是因?yàn)楣馐淙牒缚p形成小孔效應(yīng)時(shí)，因液態(tài)金屬受向外噴發(fā)的金屬蒸汽羽的反作用力而流動：當(dāng)光束垂直入射時(shí)，該反作用力幾乎是垂直向下將液態(tài)金屬推向熔池底部；當(dāng)光束前傾時(shí)，該反作用力方向趨于水平，并且當(dāng)傾角越大時(shí)，該反作用力方向越趨于水平，如圖4（a）所示，使熔池頭部的液態(tài)金屬流向熔池尾部，熔池底部的液態(tài)金屬因?yàn)槟Σ亮Φ淖饔枚蛏狭鲃?；?dāng)光束后傾時(shí)，該反作用力方向是垂直于小孔前壁斜向下，如圖4（b）所示，所以有垂直向下的分力作用于熔池頂部的液態(tài)金屬，使其向下流向熔池底部，同時(shí)當(dāng)傾角越大時(shí)，小孔前壁越陡峭，該反作用力方向越趨于水平，其垂直向下的分力就會越小。

Some scholars have studied the phenomenon of this result that when the beam is injected into the weld to form a small hole effect, the liquid metal flows due to the reaction force of the outwardly ejected metal vapor plume. When the beam is incident vertically, the reaction force pushes the liquid metal toward the bottom of the molten pool almost vertically downwards. When the beam is tilted forward, the direction of the reaction force tends to be horizontal, and when the angle of inclination is larger, the direction of the reaction force tends to be horizontal. As shown in Graph 4(a), the liquid metal at the head of the molten pool flows toward the tail of the molten pool, and the liquid metal at the bottom of the molten pool flows upward due to the frictional force. However, when the beam is tilted backward, the direction of the reaction force is perpendicular to the front wall of the small hole. As shown in Graph 4(b), there is a vertical downward component acting on the liquid metal at the top of the molten pool, causing it to flow down to the bottom of the pool. At the same time, the larger the inclination angle, the steeper the front wall of the small hole, the more the direction of the reaction force tends to be horizontal, and the smaller the vertical downward force component will be.

熔池中的液態(tài)金屬均是高溫狀態(tài)，具有較大的熱量，進(jìn)入熔池底部的液態(tài)金屬越多，就會帶入越多的熱量至熔池底部，從而使其能夠更多的通過熱傳導(dǎo)方式熔化更多的熔池底部邊緣的母材金屬，進(jìn)而增大焊縫熔深。液態(tài)金屬受到的向熔池底部方向的力越大，就會有越多的液態(tài)金屬流入熔池底部，就會產(chǎn)生更大的熔深，所以就會出現(xiàn)上述圖3中熔深曲線所表明的現(xiàn)象。

The liquid metal in the molten pool is at a high temperature and has a large amount of heat. The more liquid metal that enters the bottom of the pool, the more heat it carries into the bottom of the molten pool. Therefore, it can more melt the base metal of the bottom edge of the molten pool by heat conduction, thereby increasing the weld penetration. The greater the force that the liquid metal receives in the direction toward the bottom of the molten pool, the more liquid metal will flow into the bottom of the pool. It will produce a larger penetration, so the phenomenon indicated by the penetration curve in Graph 3 above will occur.

從表2中不銹鋼焊縫橫截面金相和焊縫表面成型來看，光束傾角大小及方向?qū)缚p氣孔的產(chǎn)生幾乎沒有影響，均可得到無氣孔的焊縫，但是光束傾角大的時(shí)候焊縫成型均勻性會相對差一些，這可能是因?yàn)楣馐鴥A角較大時(shí)，焊縫熔池金屬的流動狀態(tài)發(fā)生了較大改變，容易出現(xiàn)不穩(wěn)定的狀態(tài)。

From the perspective of the metallographic and weld surface of the stainless-steel weld cross section in Table 2, the size and direction of the beam inclination have hardly any effect on the generation of weld porosity, and a weld without voids can be obtained. But the uniformity of weld formation will be relatively poor when the beam angle is large. This may be because when the beam inclination angle is large, the flow state of the weld pool metal changes greatly, and it is prone to unstable state.

結(jié)論

Conclusion

I）不銹鋼激光自熔焊時(shí)，激光束垂直入射的焊縫熔深最大，光束入射角度越大，熔深越淺，并且在同一入射角度時(shí)光束前傾相對于光束后傾的熔深略小；

When single laser welding stainless steel, the depth of weld joint is the greatest when laser beam is incident vertically. Meanwhile, the larger the beam incidence angle, the shallower the fusion depth. And at the same incident angle, the fusion depth of the forward dip is slightly smaller than the backward dip of the beam.

II）不銹鋼激光自熔焊時(shí)，激光束入射傾角大小及方向?qū)缚p氣孔的產(chǎn)生幾乎沒有影響，均可得到無氣孔的焊縫，但是光束傾角大時(shí)焊縫成型均勻性會相對差一些。

When single laser welding stainless steel, the angle and direction of the incident angle of the laser beam have almost no effect on the generation of weld porosity, and a weld without voids can be obtained. However, the uniformity of weld formation will be relatively poor when the beam angle is large.

看完了4000W連續(xù)光纖激光器（纖芯100μm）在焊接非高反材料時(shí)受激光束入射相對位置對焊縫的影響規(guī)律測試后，您是否也想知道，對于高反材料這種結(jié)論是否也同樣適用？
