Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a method and system for regulating and controlling in situ local metal member residual stress, which eliminates, inhibits and reestablishes in situ local residual stress of metal member still having service life. The achievement of the present invention can be widely applied to several fields, such as industries of aerospace, ship, machine tool, construction machinery, coal-mine machinery, foundry, forging, welding, molding, nuclear power, wind power and etc.
- The residual stress is a kind of stress which is retained after deformation, due to uneven of stress field, uneven strain field, uneven temperature field and heterogeneity of structure. The residual stress influences reliability of metal member very much, particularly fatigue life, dimensional stability and resistance to corrosion, of structural member, and may result in stress concentration, so as to cause cracks on material. These cracks may lead to breakage of material under a certain condition. For this, it is urgently necessary to eliminate, regulate and control the residual stress of the member. However, the generation of residual stress is very common and hard to be predicted. There is no method and system for better controlling residual stress in order to satisfy practical requirements of manufacture.
- Conventionally, methods, such as natural aging, thermal treatment, are used for weakening and eliminating the residual stress. However, the natural aging has many disadvantages like time consuming, low efficient, large space occupying, difficult regulation and control. The thermal treatment has many disadvantages like long period, high power consuming, high economic cost, easily oxidizing workpiece, serious pollution, and is not suitable to process large member or quick-wear member due to heat.
- The vibration aging is a technique developing in last fifty years for eliminating residual stress by adopting mechanical method. The microscopic and macroscopic plastic deformation occurs in workpiece to reduce and uniform residual stress, when the member is suffered from stronger mechanical vibration and superposition of vibration stress and residual stress inside of material is greater than yield limit of the material. The disadvantages of this technique are as follows: 1) narrower application, nearly 77% of members cannot be vibrated due to high rigid and high natural frequency; 2) bad effect, hardly eliminating multi-dimension residual stress, the effect thereof cannot be compare favourably with the effect of the thermal aging; 3) complicated operation, when conventional vibration aging device processes a workpiece, there are tedious operations for adjusting excitation point, supporting point and vibration pick-up point; 4) serious noise pollution, the vibration of workpiece is occurred around the natural frequency, which generates much louder noise, resulting in poor environment condition of work site. This method is also hard to be applied to eliminate residual stress of a member still having service life.
- There are tow further typical method for eliminating residual stress by adopting mechanical method, which are respectively so-called explosion method and static action-force method. The theory of the methods is as follows: by superposing outside applied load and inside residual stress to plastically deform inside of material and release the residual stress. The disadvantages are in that the explosion method is only suitable for materials which cannot be damaged by strong blast wave, and the static action-force method has special requirements for static load capacity of member.
- The pulse-current process method is a new method for partially or even completely eliminating residual stress in material. However, the disadvantages is in that mono pulse current is only be adopted, the pulse current has greater peak value, and has a short action time.
- The electromagnetic-complex processing method processes metal material with ferromagnetism by pulse current and pulse-magnetic field. The disadvantages of this method are in that there are more factors affecting elimination of residual stress, and implementation is complicated, so that in situ residual stress of member still having service life is hard to be eliminated.
- A method for impacting and eliminating residual stress in welding by ultrasonic wave transmits mechanical vibration of ultrasonic frequency to wielding joint on a workpiece by means of an impact device of ultrasonic wave to produce a plastic deformation layer on a surface of the welding joint. The disadvantage of this method is in that an impacting damage, even cracks or tiny cracks are often brought about while ultrasonic wave impact is uniforming residual stress of member still having service life. These cracks will significantly influence safety and reliability of mechanical structure.
- For aforementioned problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method and system for regulating and controlling residual stress, which effectively eliminates, inhibits and reestablishes in-situ local residual stress of metal member still having service life.
- In a method for regulating and controlling residual stress according to the present invention, one or more ultrasonic wave transducers are arranged in or around an area where residual stress needs to be regulated and controlled. The ultrasonic wave transducer is fixed and controlled to generate ultrasonic wave for eliminating residual stress in the area.
- According to aforementioned method, the present invention has characteristics like convenient implementation, improved working efficiency, low cost and low pollution.
- A system for regulating and controlling residual stress according to the present invention, includes IPC (Industrial Personal Computer), an excitation controller for ultrasonic wave signal, a ultrasonic wave amplifier, a ultrasonic wave transducer, which are connected to each other successively. The excitation controller for ultrasonic wave signal serves to receive control instruction issued by the IPC and emits a signal for regulating and controlling to the ultrasonic wave amplifier. The ultrasonic wave amplifier excites the ultrasonic wave transducer to generate ultrasonic wave beam for regulating residual stress of workpiece, on the basis of the signal for regulating and controlling.

- The present invention adopts high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field to regulate and control residual stress. The so-called regulation and control for residual stress by high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field is in that providing a solid mechanical member still having service lift in high-energy sound field, locally and quantitatively regulating and controlling the residual stress state by use of additional high-power sound energy applied from outside, while detecting macroscopic residual stress of member in time by the acoustoelastic effect, and forming a closed-loop control system for residual stress, and finally the ultrasonic wave detection and closed-loop control are achieved for local residual stress state of member.

Fig. 1(a) shows a sound field model of single ultrasonic wave transducer and a coordinate system thereof.Fig. 1(b) shows a focused array sound field model of multiple ultrasonic wave transducers and a coordinate system thereof. InFig. 1 , 'P' represents any point in sound field, 'r' represents distance between 'P' and sound source, 'θ' represents an angle between 'P' and the sound source, 'φ' represents an angle at which an anchor point for transducer surface. - First, a method for regulating and controlling residual stress by high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field will be described.
- The theory of the method for regulating and controlling residual stress by high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field is: the elimination of residual stress is substantively a process in which elastic strain stored in material is gradually released via microscopic or local plastic deformation, that is, it is relative to the dislocation movement. In order to eliminate residual stress, dislocation atom is gave enough power to overcome its resistance. The lattice distortion is reduced by sliding the atom out of inside of lattice, so that residual stress is eliminated.
-
- It can be seen from above that residual stress inside of metal will be released, when energy E provided to inner mass element of a
workpiece 4 by high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field, is greater than the binding energy W produced by dislocation. This initially demonstrates that the utilization of high-energy ultrasonic wave can control residual stress in theory, but the efficiency and effect of the control relates to some factors, such as material property, excitation frequency, coupling way and local position of the control. - It has been known according to the formula (1), the high-energy ultrasonic-wave provided energy of metal inner mass element is proportional to the natural properties of metal material, such as density ρ 0, constant-volume specific heat cv , constant-pressure specific heat cp and etc, and is inversely proportional to a speed c with which the ultrasonic wave is spread in the metal material, while the aforementioned energy is proportional to square of ultrasonic-wave provided sound pressure amplitude A and frequency f. Because the natural properties of a material is constant, such as density ρ 0, constant-volume specific heat cv , constant-pressure specific heat cp and etc, when residual stress inside the material is regulated and controlled, an
ultrasonic wave transducer 1 with high power should be used for providing higher sound pressure amplitude A to aworkpiece 4 having larger residual stress in order to achieve the best effect of regulation and control, and the transducer can excitation an ultrasonic wave sound field having higher frequency f. -

Theultrasonic wave transducer 1 can have any shape in the following description and drawings, and is not limited by the shapes represented in the specification and drawings, if there is no special declaration. The shapes represented in the specification and drawings are only examples for convenient explaining. - The
ultrasonic wave transducer 1 includes a housing, a matching layer, a transducer with piezoelectric ceramics disk, a back lining, an outgoing cable, and Cymbal array receiver, where a part of back lining forms a guiding head (asFig. 6 shown). -
Fig. 5 is a schematic view of a holding device during a cylindrical ultrasonic wave transducer 1 (to which the flaring-shape ultrasonic wave transducer is identical) working. When an area on which residual stress of welding workpiece concentrates is regulated and controlled, two strongmagnetic bases 19 are attached on a welding body portion to be regulated and controlled. Anelongated support rod 15 is fixed on the upper end of two strongmagnetic bases 19. Theultrasonic wave transducer 1 is adjusted to a wielding joint 21 (the area on which residual stress concentrates) by adjusting a centre fixation rod and a threadedrod 16. Theworkpiece 4 is held to fixedly contact with theultrasonic wave transducer 1 by acompression plate 17.

A layer ofcoupling agent 13 is coated on a holding surface so as to reduce the energy lost of ultrasonic wave and lower temperature during the regulation and control for residual stress by high-energy sound field. - As

The processing device includes anIPC 12, an ultrasonic wavesignal excitation controller 10, a high-powerultrasonic wave amplifier 8, anultrasonic wave transducer 1 and assistance devices. InFig. 3 , theultrasonic wave transducer 1 is configured to be flaring shape. -
Fig. 3 shows a multichannel high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field processing system, where theIPC 12 issues a control instruction by coordinating with system software. After receiving thecontrol instruction signal 11, the ultrasonic wavesignal excitation controller 10 sends a regulation andcontrol signal 9 to the high-powerultrasonic wave amplifier 8. The high-powerultrasonic wave amplifier 8 excites theultrasonic wave transducer 1 on the basis of the regulation and control signal to generate high-energy ultrasonic wave beam. The energy of high-energy ultrasonic wave beam is injected to the residualstress concentrating area 3 according to predetermined requirement so as to adjust the residual stress. During working, high-energy sound field spreads in medium of workpiece so that particles of the medium alternatively vibrates or wriggles, and causes stress or sound pressure in the medium continuously or discontinuously change so as to trigger a serious of secondary effects, such as wriggle between crystal particles or lattices. The constraining force between lattices is destructed, reduced or reestablished by means of stronger wave energy of inner sound field of workpiece, which serves to regulate and control residual stress field. - The system for regulating and controlling residual stress by using high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field can adopt an ultrasonic wave detection and closed-loop control system for residual stress, as
Fig. 4 shown. - As
Fig. 4 shown, the ultrasonic wave detection and closed-loop control system for residual stress includesultrasonic wave transducers 1, high-powerultrasonic wave amplifier 8, ultrasonic wave signal excitationmultichannel controller 22, residual stress closed-loop controller 23, ultrasonic wavesignal processing module 24, and residualstress detection transducer 25, which are successively connected to each other. This connection relationship is showed inFig. 4 , where theultrasonic wave transducers 1 are fixedly connected to aworkpiece 4 viacoupling agent 13. - If a
workpiece 4 is suffered from regulation and control of residual stress, the ultrasonic wave signal excitationmultichannel controller 22 controls a plurality ofultrasonic wave amplifiers 8 to generate excitation signal by coordinating with software. The excitation signal excites a plurality ofultrasonic wave transducer 1 to generate high-energy ultrasonic wave beam having different frequency and phase. The energy of high-energy ultrasonic wave beam is focused to regulate residual stress, while the residual stress ofworkpiece 4 is detected by using the residualstress detection transducer 25, and an ultrasonic wave signal (ultrasonic transit time) is transmitted to the ultrasonic wavesignal processing module 24. The ultrasonic wavesignal processing module 24 transmits the detected residual stress information to the residual stress closed-loop controller 23 in real time. The residual stress closed-loop controller 23 is connected to the ultrasonic wave signal excitationmultichannel controller 22 so as to form a residual stress closed-loop control system. - The in situ sound energy control method for elastic solid residual stress field will be described in detail as follows.
- First, one or more focusing
ultrasonic wave transducers 1 are arranged in or around an area where residual stress needs to be regulated and controlled. This arrangement is defined by actual tooling condition and amount ofultrasonic wave transducer 1 in work place. Theultrasonic wave transducers 1 is connected to aworkpiece 4 via a holding device. The contact surface is coated withcoupling agent 13 to reduce energy lost of ultrasonic wave and working temperature. The positive and negative poles of the transducers are connected to positive and negative output ends of ultrasonic wave excitation multichannel control cabinet. The control cabinet is connected to a high-energy ultrasonic wave generator. The power supply of the ultrasonic wave generator is switched on so that theultrasonic wave transducers 1 generate ultrasonic wave energy and the residual stress concentrating area is focused by sound field at far-field. The preferred current range of a single transducer is 0.1∼1A. The processing temperature is within normal temperature. The continuously focusing is kept for a certain time. - The key technique of high-energy ultrasonic wave focusing is focusing control mode. The present invention takes advantage of a focusing system composed by
ultrasonic wave transducer 1 and multi-array element focusing acoustic lens, which is an effective and practical focusing way. A plurality ofultrasonic wave transducers 1 is used for exciting focusing simultaneously in order to better control local residual stress inside material. The high-energy wave is generated at focusing position by means of geometrical focusing theory of sound field asFig. 1(b) shown. This high-energy ultrasonic wave focusing method solves a problem that the power of singleultrasonic wave transducer 1 is not enough, very well. The ultrasonic wave is focused on an area where residual stress needs to be regulated and controlled, by means of automatic control technique to coordinate eachultrasonic wave transducer 1 is coordinated with each other by automatic control technique to focus the ultrasonic wave in the same coordinate system onto an area where residual stress needs to be regulated and controlled. - The relatively high-energy focusing areas are formed on positions at different depth within the
workpiece 4 by controlling different excitation parameters, such as incident angle, frequency and phase, so as to regulate and control residual stress state of surface and sub-surface of member and residual stress state of different depth inside the member. The high-energy sound field distribution of sound lens is described by the diffraction theory, which can acquire more accuracy result. - After high-energy ultrasonic wave focusing for a period of time, the real-time state of residual stress is accurately detected in time by residual stress detection system, which depends on a computer control system and some devices, such as a workbench, holding tools and etc, coordinating with computer control system. The real-time state of residual stress is fed back to the control system. The control system controls processing time on the basis of real-time effect of regulation and control, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately, quantitatively and locally regulating and controlling residual stress.
- A test is made for high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field's eliminating weld residual stress of metal material, such as steel 45# plate, by means of multichannel high-energy ultrasonic wave sound field processing system. The steel 45
# workpiece 4 is processed with a high-energy sound field for a certain time by means of a plurality of focusing transducers having a certain power and frequency. Eight measure areas on measure surface are measured by means of ultrasonic wave residual stress measurement system, before testing. The value of stress of the measure areas is measured again, after testing. The test acts transducer power, transducer frequency and loading time as factors of influence. - The result of test represents that the value of residual stress in the residual
stress concentrating area 3 does not change a lot. This means that the regulation and control for local residual stress of elasticsolid workpiece 4 may be achieved effectively and quantitatively by regulating and controlling the excitation rule and far-field focusing, so that the purpose of eliminating and restraining undesirable residual stress and increasing desirable residual stress. The stress value of steel 45# plate is improved overall after eliminating stress by high power ultrasonic wave for a period of time. By properly introducing pressure stress, the strength of surface and entire structure of the steel plate is increased, and the corrosion and wear resistance of weld area surface is improved. The technique for regulating and controlling state of residual stress field by ultrasonic wave energy has expansively practical applications. - The implementation steps will be described in detail.
- 1) measuring residual stress value of area of
workpiece 4 to be regulated and controlled, where adoptingultrasonic wave transducer 1 with higher excitation frequency and power for a workpiece having higher residual stress; adoptingultrasonic wave transducer 1 with lower excitation frequency and power for regulating and controlling aworkpiece 4 having lower residual stress. - 2) re-measuring residual stress value of the regulated and controlled area, after being processed by high-energy sound field.
- 3) comparing current residual stress value to a desirable value of regulation and control, if the effect of regulation and control is achieved, then stopping continuous regulation and control, if not, then repeating step 2) until the effect of regulation and control is achieved, after then stopping regulation and control.

ultrasonic wave transducers 1. The ultrasonic wave generator is powered on, after then the fourultrasonic wave transducers 1 are excited to focus simultaneously, which brings about high-energy action on focusing position to implement residual stress regulation for the residual stress concentrating area. The current of single focusing transducer is 0.1∼1A, and the power and frequency have three match combinations: 60W/28KHz, 60W/20KHz, 40W/28Kz. The time for maintaining action is respectively 10mins, 20mins, 40mins, and 80mins. - The material to be acted is H62 copper sample. The current of single
sound wave transducer 1 is 0.1∼1A, and the power and frequency have three match combinations: 60W/28KHz, 60W/20KHz, 40W/28Kz. The time for maintaining action is respectively 40mins, 80mins, and 160mins. - The difference from the
embodiment 1 is in that: - The material to be acted is aluminium alloy 6061 sample. The current of single
sound wave transducer 1 is 0.1∼1A, and the power and frequency are 60W/28KHz.

Through aforementioned tests, the frequency range 20KHz∼600KHz can bring about better effect. Further, the power range of sound field generated by wave transducer is preferable 40W∼1000W.
