集成DOE的激光熔覆工艺及先进镍基高温合金熔覆质量控制机理研究

Laser deposition is an important additive manufacturing technology, and has great potentials in the repairing and near-net-shape manufacturing of nickel based superalloy components. Currently, in the laser deposition of advanced single crystal and directionally solidified superalloys, it is very difficult to prevent the formation of hot cracks and stray crystals, which makes the components not suitable for the service in high temperature environment. This project proposes to adjust the laser energy distributions using diffractive optical element (DOE), so as to optimize the thermal, mechanical and crystallization processes during laser deposition, avoid hot cracks and realize controlled growth of columnar crystals. Firstly, a novel laser deposition system will be developed which is capable of integrating DOE modules; tailored laser energy distributions can be realized by using DOE modules of different designs. Secondly, multi-physics numerical simulation models will be established to accurately predict the thermal, mechanical and solidification behaviors during laser deposition process. Thirdly, the influences and related mechanisms of process parameters on crystal morphologies and hot cracks will be experimentally and numerically studied for the laser deposition of typical single crystal and directionally solidified superalloys, based on which the distribution modes of laser energy and corresponding process parameter windows can be determined. Finally, specimens will be fabricated with novel deposition system with DOE modules under selected process parameters, of which the mechanical properties under high temperatures will be experimentally tested to study the effectiveness of the novel deposition process with integrated DOE in controlling the properties of deposits. For the first time, the project introduces the advanced DOE technology to laser deposition process, and the outcomes of the project can provide technical supports to the repair and direct fabrication of advanced superalloys components in aeroengines and gas turbines.

激光熔覆是一项重要的增材制造技术，在航空发动机和燃气轮机热端部件的修复及近净成形制造中得到了广泛重视。目前，在先进的单晶和定向凝固镍基高温合金的激光熔覆中，由于热裂纹、杂晶等缺陷很难消除，无法满足高温服役要求。本项目提出采用衍射光学单元（DOE）对激光能量分布进行调整，以优化热、力及结晶过程，防止热裂纹的形成，实现晶粒的可控生长。首先，开发可集成DOE的激光熔覆系统，通过不同设计的DOE模块，实现定制的激光能量分布；其次，建立熔覆过程多物理场数值仿真模型，实现对熔覆过程中的热、力及凝固行为的准确预测；第三，针对典型的单晶和定向凝固合金，研究揭示工艺参数对凝固组织形貌和热裂纹的影响规律和机理，确定激光能量分布模式及工艺参数窗口；最后，对激光熔覆件高温力学性能进行测试，研究DOE模块在性能调控中的有效性。项目首次将DOE用于激光熔覆，预期成果可为先进镍基合金部件的修复和直接制造提供技术支持。
