Description

Electron gun beam spot correction device and correction method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of additive manufacturing, and particularly relates to a device and a method for correcting beam spots of an electron gun.
Background
Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM) metal additive manufacturing techniques use an electron beam as an energy source to manufacture solid parts by melting metal powder layer by layer in a high vacuum environment. Because the power of the electron beam is high, and the material has high energy absorption rate to the electron beam, the finished piece has the characteristics of high density, low oxygen content, low thermal stress, difficult deformation and cracking, high printing efficiency, high material utilization rate and the like, and is widely applied to the fields of medical treatment, aerospace and the like.
The process of Electron Beam Selective Melting (EBSM) metal additive manufacturing comprises the following steps: firstly, spreading a layer of powder on the surface of a powder spreading plane, and preheating and insulating the powder by an electron beam to meet the requirements of printing process parameters; secondly, selectively melting the electron beams under the control of a computer according to the cross section profile information, melting the metal powder under the bombardment of the electron beams, and bonding the metal powder with the formed part below to realize layer-by-layer accumulation until the whole part is completely melted; and finally, removing redundant powder to obtain the required three-dimensional product.
At present, an electron beam selective melting forming technology is gradually matured, forming efficiency and forming precision are gradually improved, but the technology cannot meet the manufacturing requirement of large components and cannot form large-size components. Therefore, the method breaks through the technical bottleneck of continuous manufacturing of large-size components, and is a key technology for improving the forming efficiency of large-size electron beam forming equipment. If the manufacturing requirement of a large component is to be met, a plurality of electron guns are required to be orderly arranged according to a certain mode, each electron gun is responsible for one area, and all the areas form the whole printing surface. The electron beams are not completely vertical to the working surface after passing through the deflection coils, but form a certain included angle with the vertical direction. Along with the increase of the deflection angle of the electron beam, the beam quality of the electron beam is greatly reduced, and beam spots have certain deformation, so that the quality of a processing process is influenced. For example, an excessively large beam spot size can result in non-concentrated energy and processing defects; the distorted beam spot causes a reduction in the accuracy of processing, and the beam spot having a deviation in the position of the beam spot causes a reduction in the accuracy of processing. Therefore, the beam spot needs to be calibrated before the high-energy beam processing is performed.
Fig. 1 shows a prior art electron gun detection technique for additive manufacturing, which automatically calibrates a beam spot, that is, adjusts the size, shape and position of the beam spot to a preset state by means of a computer and a detector. The method scans an electron beam onto a reference object to generate an X-ray signal, thereby calibrating the size and position of a beam spot of the scanned electron beam. The reference object is a lower plate and an upper plate which are parallel and spaced apart from each other, the upper plate includes a plurality of holes and provides a predetermined hollow pattern in the holes, and the electron beam is detected and recorded at the edges of the pattern while being scanned over the tungsten plate having the hollow pattern. However, this method has the following drawbacks: 1) shooting and extracting beam spot size, shape and position information through an imaging device; for example, the detector employs an X-ray camera (CCD camera), so that the cost of the calibration apparatus is greatly increased; 2) the upper plate (detection plate) is made of a tungsten plate and other metal plates with higher cost, so that the detection cost is higher; 3) the detector is arranged on the outer side of the vacuum box body, and a plurality of detection openings are required to be formed in the vacuum box body at the moment, so that the sealing of the box body and the maintenance of the vacuum degree are not facilitated; 4) when the detector is used on a large-size EBSM, a larger detection range is needed, the view field of the detector is required to be larger, and a plurality of detectors are needed for detection.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated by the following specific figures and examples.
The invention provides a device and a method for correcting beam spots of an electron gun. The area required to be calibrated is a scanning area, namely, specific parameters of the electron gun are calibrated at any point of the scanning area, which is the purpose and the result of the calibration work. The rough calibration of the electron gun is carried out after the electron gun is installed or overhauled and parts are replaced, and each electron gun needs to be calibrated to obtain rough positioning parameters of the beam spot position of the electron gun. The fine calibration is carried out after the equipment is adjusted and installed or after parts are overhauled and replaced, particularly after an electron gun is adjusted and installed in a box body and before the additive manufacturing equipment starts to manufacture workpieces, the position parameters of the beam spot of the electron gun are calibrated and recorded, the size of the beam spot is detected and corrected, the parameters of the electron gun corresponding to the high-quality beam spot of any point in a printing area are obtained, and therefore when the workpieces are printed, the parameters are used for ensuring the printing accuracy.
As shown in fig. 2, the electron gun 1 is mainly composed of a cathode 11, a grid 12, a high voltage power supply 13 (also called an acceleration power supply), a grid voltage 14, an anode 15, a dynamic coil 16, an astigmatism coil 17, a focusing coil 18 (also called a magnetic focusing mirror), and a deflection coil 19 (also called a magnetic focusing mirror). The rough calibration is carried out on an electron gun test bed, and the calibration is carried out gradually by a single electron gun. The rough calibration pair assembly 2 comprises a rough calibration pair plate 23, a rough calibration pair base 21 and a rough calibration pair supporting plate 22, wherein the rough calibration pair plate 23 is arranged above the rough calibration pair base 21 through the rough calibration pair supporting plate 22; the coarse alignment plate 23 is provided with a plurality of coarse alignment holes 231, the plurality of coarse alignment holes 231 are arranged in a matrix (may be 9 × 9 — 81), and the arrangement range of the coarse alignment is equal to or larger than the scanning area of the electron gun.
