3D AUTOMATED SUPERALLOY LASER CLADDING SYSTEM WITH 3D IMAGING WELD PATH CONTROL

摘要

used-base superalloy components such as turbine blades and vanes are degraded by a laser beam weld cladding. Welding / cladding path including the cladding is applied to the profile configuration of the conventional real-time preferably in the ratio of the elements - is determined by the comparison of the contact 3D dimensional scanning and Specifications data and obtaining the component dimensions for the scan data. Specifications for the cladding is a welding path to the scanning component to match the dimensions that determine the data. The laser welding apparatus preferably applies the cladding profile required to run the weld path in cooperation with the cladding a filler material distribution device. In some embodiments, after welding of the welded component non-contact 3D dimensional scan is performed, the scan data dimension after welding is compared with the data Specifications. Preferably, the weld path and / or a cladding profile applied is modified by welding before and / or feedback loop associated with the 3D scanning dimension after welding.
