Background
Laser additive manufacturing refers to an additive manufacturing mode of forming a part with a specific geometric shape by taking metal powder as a raw material, taking laser as a heat source, melting the metal at a high temperature by the laser and accumulating the metal layer by layer, and is also called laser 3D printing. The method has the advantages of wide raw material selection, low cost, high material utilization rate, high printing and forming efficiency, high workpiece density, easiness in automation, greenness, no pollution and the like, is an additive manufacturing process with high stacking rate, high material utilization rate, high cost performance and great potential, and has wide application in the fields of aerospace, marine ships, petrochemical industry and the like. Although the surface of the workpiece manufactured by laser additive is smoother than that of the workpiece manufactured by arc additive and other methods, the surface quality and smoothness are still deficient, and other processes are used for removing a small amount of materials on the surface of the workpiece, so that the dimensional accuracy and the surface quality of the workpiece are improved.
At present, the more common method is to directly stack a three-dimensional structure on a substrate through laser additive manufacturing, and then to assist in a small amount of milling machining to improve the forming precision and the surface quality. Although the milling machine makes up the shortages of the laser additive manufacturing in geometric dimension and surface smoothness to a great extent, the laser additive manufacturing belongs to a hot processing technology, the milling machine belongs to a cold processing technology, and obvious macro and micro error transfer processes exist in the circulation alternation of the hot and cold processing technologies, so that the development of the composite manufacturing technology to the directions of high precision and high performance is restrained, and the method needs to use two sets of devices of a laser additive manufacturing system and a milling machine tool successively, so that the working procedure is complex. Because the thermal processing technology such as laser additive manufacturing releases a large amount of heat in the processing process, and the workpiece is subjected to repeated heating-cooling processes in the processing, the residual stress in the workpiece is large and unevenly distributed, the workpiece is easy to deform, and the quality and smoothness of the formed surface of the workpiece are insufficient, the workpiece is required to be effectively cooled in the processing, and the surface of the workpiece is required to be smooth.
Aiming at a similar arc additive manufacturing processing method, china patent 202111367079.8 proposes an arc additive and electrochemical material reduction composite manufacturing device and method, in the arc additive manufacturing process, a certain number of layers are printed, then the platform height is lowered into a solution, electrochemical material reduction is utilized to carry out electrochemical trimming on the rough surface of a workpiece, the quality of the processed surface is improved, the workpiece is soaked in an electrochemical solution, the cooling effect can be achieved, and the influence of heat on the internal stress and the appearance of the workpiece is reduced. However, the composite processing device and the method have the defects that: the material adding and the material subtracting are alternately performed, so that simultaneous processing cannot be realized; the arc printing quality is poor, and the required electrolysis time is long; the arc processing head is fixed, so that the processing of multiple angles and curved surfaces cannot be realized; the additive manufacturing is carried out on air, and special gas environment and pressure environment cannot be set; electrolyte is not circulated, solute may be unevenly distributed, and electrolytic performance is affected; the work piece needs to be lowered into the solution for electrolysis and auxiliary cooling, and cannot be completed in situ.
