In order to analyze temperature field of Co-based alloys laser cladding, the model of Co-based alloys laser cladding with preset-powder method has been made by finite element method. The temperature field of coatings was analyzed by SYSWELD software, and Experimental verification is done. The results showed that temperature field changed from non-steady-state to steady-state in the laser cladding process. Favorable metallurgy bonding with 8.26% dilution was obtained by scanning velocity was 5 mm/s, the temperature gradient of surface coatings is obviously decreased to 1/20 of bonding interface, the solidification rate of surface is nearly 70 times of bonding interface. Right power with 1.6 kW and 1.87 kW was found when scanning velocity was 3 mm/s and 4 mm/s by SYSWELD software. Based on solidification theory, shape factor of crystallization are analyzed, these are consistent with experimental results. These results provide reference and guide for parametric optimization and control dilution rate of laser cladding. Key words: Laser cladding, Co-based alloy, SYSWELD, Simulation

In order to analyze temperature field and stress field of Co-based alloys laser cladding, the model of Co-based alloys laser cladding with preset-powder method has been made on low carbon steel substrate. The temperature field and stress field of laser cladding process was analyzed by SYSWELD software, and Experimental verification is done. The results showed that temperature field is appear to a trailing tail of comet, favorable metallurgy bonding with 12.3% dilution was obtained by scanning velocity was 4 mm/s. and instantaneous cooling rate of molten pool with 4 mm/s and 5 mm/s are increased to 1.47 times and 2.02 times of 3 mm/s. The transverse residual stress different nodes on the surface of coatings are always tensile stress, and it is almost steady, the maximum deformation is 0.34 mm at the edge of work-piece, these are consistent with experimental results.

Abstract Piezothermoelastic effects of distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators are investigated. Vibration control of piezoelectric laminates subjected to a steady-state temperature field is studied. A new 3-D piezothermoelastic finite element with three internal degrees of freedom is formulated using a variational formulation. A system equation for the piezoelectric continuum exposed to combined elastic, electric, and thermal fields is formulated. Distributed sensing and control equations are derived. All these effects are studied in a case study.

The formation process of surface coatings fabricated with laser cladding is very complicated and coating quality is closely related to laser cladding process parameters. Generally, the optimization and control of process parameters play key roles when preparing high-quality ceramic coating. In this paper, three reasonable parameters were selected for each process parameter based on the preliminary experiment. The experiment of Ti(C, N) ceramic coating prepared with laser cladding was designed via the Taguchi method. The laser power, spot diameter, overlapping ratio, and scanning velocity were selected as the main process parameters, and their effects on coating micro-hardness were analyzed using the signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Then, based on the back-propagation neural network (BPNN) and quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization (QPSO) algorithm, we created the prediction model of BPNN-QPSO neural network for laser cladding Ti(C, N) ceramic coating. The mapping of process parameters to the micro-hardness of the coating was obtained according to the model and we analyzed the influence of process parameters that interacted with the coating’s micro-hardness. The results showed that the interaction of laser cladding process parameters had a significant effect on the micro-hardness of the coating. The established BPNN-QPSO neural network model was able to map the relationship between laser cladding process parameters and coating micro-hardness. The process parameters optimized by this model had similar results with ANOVA. This research provides guidance for the selection and control of ceramic coating process parameters Ti(C, N) prepared via laser cladding.

The tensile plastic strains and the residual tensile stresses caused by heat input during the laser cladding process are the main reasons for the cracking. In this paper, the laser cladding process on a type 1045 steel plate with Ni60 powder feeding was investigated and simulated by finite element method to analyze the temperature field and stress-strain field of the laser cladding process. In the temperature field model, the main considerations were given to the heat source data and the thermal boundary conditions. The interactions of laser, powders and base metal were mainly considered in the application of the heat source data. The relationship between the heat convection coefficient of work piece surface and the temperature variation was mainly considered in the application of thermal boundary conditions. In the stress-strain field model, the main consideration was given to the elastic-plastic characteristics of the materials, and the materials were assumed to be linear strain-strengthened. Moreover, the thermal stresses could be solved through the temperature field and were subsequently applied directly to the stress-strain field model as loads. Besides the temperature variations, the stress variations and the strain variations of some critical points (including the crest point of the cladded layer and intersection point of cladded layer and plate) were also obtained through the finite calculation. The temperature variations show that the heating curve is approximately a straight line while the cooling curve is like an arm of a hyperbola. The strain variations show that the thermal strain has a variation trend similar to the temperature variations. The elastic strain of each point is very low when compared to the plastic strain. The calculated results show that the tensile plastic strain of the crest point on the coating is the greatest in the cladding direction and the tensile stress in this direction of this point is great too. As a result, transverse crack can be easily initiated at the crest of the coating. While the tensile plastic strain at the intersection point of the base metal and coating is the greatest in the direction vertical to the plate thickness, the stress at this point (in the same direction) is compressive. Therefore, the intersection points tend to form a limited toe crack which can not grow.

During the laser cladding process, temperature field is an issue worth thorough research. An optimized temperature field can not only ensure the high metallurgical bonding strength between the cladding layer and the substrate, but also can produce relatively mild thermal deformation for the parts to be repaired. This work theoretically analyzes the temperature field during the cladding process and validate the analysis through the microstructure of the cladding layer.

Abstract Laser cladding as an emerging surface modification technology can be widely adopted for surface modification. In this study, 27SiMn was selected as the substrate, the powder was a self-made iron-based alloy, and the thermophysical properties of the material were predicted by the CALPHAD algorithm. The numerical model of the laser cladding process is established by setting reasonable hypothetical condition, initial condition, boundary condition, and solver parameters. In order to verify the accuracy of the numerical model, 10 sets of experiments have been carried out, and the agreement between the model calculation results and the experimental results reached 92%. Through the study of energy distribution in the laser cladding process, it is found that about 10% of the laser energy is used to heat the substrate to form a melt-pool, and at least 53% of the energy is radiated into the environment. Finally, the effects of temperature gradient and solidification rate on the microstructure of the cladding layer were explored.
