Description

Selective laser melting forming device for large-size annular/frame-shaped metal piece
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to the technical field of advance manufacturing, more specifically relates to a laser selective melting forming device of jumbo size annular, frame shape metalwork.
Background
The production and manufacturing field contains a large amount of large-size annular and frame-shaped metal parts, the frequency of updating and developing related equipment is continuously accelerated, and the traditional processing technologies such as casting, forging, welding and the like are gradually difficult to meet the manufacturing requirements of parts due to the problems of slow response speed, multiple process links, long processing period and the like.
The selective laser melting technology is a research hotspot in the field of current laser additive manufacturing (commonly known as 3D printing), and the technological process is as follows: firstly, slicing a CAD model of a part to be formed to generate a laser scanning track of each sliced layer; then, a layer of metal powder is laid on the surface of the substrate positioned in the forming cylinder, the moving track of a laser beam is controlled through a galvanometer system according to the slice pattern of the part, selective scanning and melting are carried out on a metal powder bed, and a metal molten pool is rapidly cooled and solidified to form a deposition layer; then, the substrate is lowered by the thickness of a slicing layer, and the processes of 'prearranged powder laying → selective laser melting → substrate lowering' are continuously repeated until the forming of all deposition layers is completed, and finally the integral manufacturing of the metal piece is realized. Obviously, the selective laser melting technology has the advantages of short response time, simple process flow, high processing precision, formable complex structure, excellent product performance, strong material universality and the like, and is expected to bring a new path for manufacturing various large-size annular and frame-shaped metal parts.
However, the existing selective laser melting technology and equipment at home and abroad generally select cylindrical or square-cylindrical forming cylinders and base plates. This structure is suitable for forming small-sized or solid parts, but when it is used for forming large-sized annular metal members or frame-shaped metal members, a large amount of redundant metal powder must be used to fill the area surrounded by the deposited layer of the part (as shown in fig. 1a and 1 b), resulting in a low powder utilization and a sharp increase in raw material cost.
In the selective laser melting and forming process, interaction of laser beams and metal powder can form a large amount of smoke dust, the smoke dust mainly comprises splashed molten drops, powder and burnt metal particles, and if the smoke dust cannot be removed in time, the smoke dust can be deposited on the surface of a metal powder bed, a part deposition layer or an equipment cavity, so that the stability of the subsequent forming process is influenced. The dust removing system of the existing selective laser melting equipment generally comprises an air pumping mechanism, an air blowing mechanism and a smoke dust purifying host which is connected with the air pumping mechanism and the air blowing mechanism and contains a circulating fan and a filter medium. Wherein the air suction mechanism and the air blowing mechanism are generally fixed at both sides of the cylindrical or square cylindrical forming cylinder as shown in fig. 1a and 1 b. When a large-size annular or frame-shaped metal piece is formed, the breadth of a forming cylinder is large, so that the distance between an air suction opening of an air suction mechanism and an air blowing opening of an air blowing mechanism is long, and stable and uniform circulating air flow is difficult to generate above a metal powder layer. If the average flow speed of the circulating airflow is too low, all smoke dust cannot be eliminated completely, and cases of product quality deterioration and forming failure caused by the smoke dust are frequent; if the average flow velocity of the circulating gas stream is too high, it may carry away some of the metal powder on the surface of the powder bed, which not only results in additional loss of raw material, but also affects the flatness of the powder layer, resulting in a reduction in the quality of the formed powder.
In conclusion, the selective laser melting forming equipment with small redundant powder consumption, good smoke dust purification effect and high forming efficiency is developed for large-size annular and frame-shaped metal pieces, and has important significance.
