摘要: 焊接技术在人类发展过程中发挥着至关重要的作用。以水下焊接为代表的特种环境焊接技术对航空航天、国防和远海开采具有深远的影响,但当焊接操作需要在情况复杂的水下进行时,焊接难度大大增加。除此之外,在易燃易爆液体或极端低温等复杂环境中,焊接加工具有更重要的应用前景,如油气储存容器修复、极地和深空制造等领域,然而相关的焊接技术仍未得到有效研究。超声振动加工是一种加载频率达到上万赫兹的特殊加工方式,对于具有无序结构的非晶合金(金属玻璃)而言,超声振动的施加能在一定程度上使其迅速“软化”。基于这一特性,我们将超声振动技术引入到液体焊接领域,成功地实现了非晶合金在水、海水、酒精和液氮环境中的焊接,为极端环境制造成型提供了一种可行的策略。

Abstract: Welding technology plays a pivotal role in the development of human society. Currently, specialized environment welding techniques, such as underwater welding, have profound implications for aerospace, defense, and deep-sea exploration. However, the difficulty of welding significantly increases when operations must be conducted in complex underwater conditions. Furthermore, welding processes hold great potential in complex environments such as flammable or explosive liquids, as well as extremely low temperature. Applications in fields like oil and gas storage container repair, polar and deep-space manufacturing, require further research in related welding technologies. Ultrasonic vibration processing is a unique technique that applies frequencies reaching tens of thousands of Hertz. For metallic glasses (amorphous alloys), the application of ultrasonic vibration can soften its with liquid-like state. Capitalizing on this characteristic, we have introduced ultrasonic vibration technology into the field of under-liquid welding. In this work, successful welding of amorphous alloys has been achieved in water, seawater, alcohol, and liquid nitrogen environments.
This breakthrough provides a viable strategy for manufacturing in extreme environments.
