Abstract
Durch die Kombination einer Elektronenstrahlvorheizung und einer selektiven Laserverfestigung wird die Qualität von Bauteilen, die durch additive Fertigungsverfahren hergestellt werden, deutlich verbessert.The combination of electron beam preheating and selective laser solidification significantly improves the quality of components produced by additive manufacturing processes.
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren und eine Vorrichtung der additiven Fertigung (Additive Manufacturing, AM), bei dem ein Elektronenstrahl zur Vorheizung des Bauteils und ein Laserstrahl zur Verfestigung verwendet wird. The invention relates to a method and an apparatus of additive manufacturing (AM), in which an electron beam for preheating the component and a laser beam for solidification is used.
Das Selektive Laserschmelzen (SLM) als ein AM-Verfahren findet zunehmend Verwendung bei der Herstellung komplexer Gasturbinenkomponenten. Selective laser melting (SLM) as an AM process is finding increasing use in the manufacture of complex gas turbine components.
Thermisch und mechanisch hochbelastete Bauteile wie etwa Gasturbinenschaufeln werden aus warmfesten Ni-Basislegierungen mit hohem Anteil an Ɣ‘-Bildnern wie Titan und Aluminium gefertigt, die als schwer schweißbar gelten. Bei der Herstellung mittels SLM treten während der Herstellung Heißrisse auf. Thermally and mechanically highly stressed components such as gas turbine blades are made of heat-resistant Ni-base alloys with a high proportion of Ɣ'-formers such as titanium and aluminum, which are considered to be difficult to weld. During production by means of SLM, hot cracks occur during production.
Aufgrund der schlechten Schweißbarkeit der in Frage kommenden Materialen werden die hochbelasteten Komponenten heute ausschließlich über Feinguss hergestellt. Die Prozessierung von schwer schweißbaren warmfesten Ni-Basisstählen befindet sich heute noch im R&D-Stadium. Due to the poor weldability of the materials in question, the highly stressed components are now produced exclusively by precision casting. The processing of difficult-to-heat, heat-resistant Ni base steels is still in the R & D stage today.
Bei den meisten der in Entwicklung befindlichen Konzepte wird der AM-Prozess bei hohen Temperaturen durchgeführt, wodurch ein schnelles Auskühlen und die damit verbundenen Heißrisse vermieden werden können. Zur Beheizung der Prozesskammer kann eine resistive Heizung, eine induktive Heizung oder eine Heizung mittels IR-Strahlern zum Einsatz kommen. In most of the concepts in development, the AM process is performed at high temperatures, thereby avoiding rapid cooling and associated hot cracks. For heating the process chamber, a resistive heating, an inductive heating or a heating by means of IR radiators can be used.
Es ist daher Aufgabe der Erfindung oben genanntes Problem zu lösen. It is therefore an object of the invention to solve the above-mentioned problem.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch eine Vorrichtung gemäß Anspruch 1 und ein Verfahren gemäß Anspruch 4. The object is achieved by a device according to claim 1 and a method according to claim 4.
In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Maßnahmen aufgelistet, die beliebig miteinander kombiniert werden können, um weitere Vorteile zu erzielen. In the dependent claims further advantageous measures are listed, which can be combined with each other in order to achieve further advantages.

Die Beschreibung und die Figuren stellen nur Ausführungsbeispiele der Erfindung dar. The description and the figures represent only embodiments of the invention.
Ein AM-Prozess soll bei hohen Temperaturen ablaufen. Zum Aufheizen soll ein Elektronenstrahl dienen, der insbesondere mit elektromagnetischen Linsen über ein Pulverbett verteilt wird. An AM process should take place at high temperatures. For heating, an electron beam is to be used, which is distributed in particular with electromagnetic lenses over a powder bed.
Die erfindungsgemäß verwendete Heizvorrichtung besteht insbesondere somit im Wesentlichen aus dem Equipment, wie es beim sogenannten Elektronenstrahlschmelzen zum Einsatz kommt. Ein schnelles Scannen mit einem fokussierten Elektronenstrahl – wie beim Elektronenstrahlschmelzen – oder eine gleichmäßige Bestrahlung des Pulverbetts, oder Teilen des Pulverbetts, stellen Möglichkeiten der Realisierung der Vorheizung dar. Es bestehen verschiedene Möglichkeiten die Strahlführung des Elektronenstrahls zu gestalten, insbesondere kann der Elektronenstrahl einen Fokus durchlaufen. Da eine elektromagnetische Strahloptik zudem eine außerordentlich schnelle Scan-Geschwindigkeit von bis 1000 m/s und mehr erlaubt, verglichen mit ~10 m/s bei mechanisch bewegten AM-Lichtoptiken, besteht insbesondere die Möglichkeit, neben einer flächig-homogenen Beleuchtung des Pulverbetts eine schnelle punktuelle Abrasterung durchzuführen. Das Abrastern kann dabei entweder (zwecks homogener Durchwärmung) gleichförmig erfolgen oder in Mustern, um gezielt Wärmequellen und -senken im Pulverbett zu schaffen und damit die Wärmeableitung sowie das resultierende Gefüge der AM-gefertigten Komponente zu steuern. In Konsequenz können dadurch die mechanischen Eigenschaften der AMgefertigten Komponente beeinflusst werden. The heating device used in accordance with the invention thus consists in particular essentially of the equipment used in so-called electron beam melting. A fast scanning with a focused electron beam - as in electron beam melting - or a uniform irradiation of the powder bed, or parts of the powder bed, represent ways of implementing the preheating. There are various ways to design the beam guidance of the electron beam, in particular, the electron beam can pass through a focus , In addition, since an electromagnetic radiation optics allows an extremely fast scanning speed of up to 1000 m / s and more, compared with ~ 10 m / s for mechanically moved AM light optics, there is the possibility, in addition to a flat-homogeneous illumination of the powder bed, a fast to perform selective scanning. Scanning can be done either uniformly (for the purpose of homogeneous heating) or in patterns to specifically create heat sources and sinks in the powder bed and thus control the heat dissipation and the resulting microstructure of the AM-manufactured component. As a consequence, this can influence the mechanical properties of the AM-manufactured component.
Zum selektivem Schmelzen im Pulverbett soll ein Laser verwendet werden, da mit dem Laser kleinere Fokusdurchmesser und damit höhere Auflösungen technisch realisiert werden können und somit auch die Oberflächenrauhigkeit bei Laser-Prozesssierung geringer ausfällt. Der Laser und die Laseroptik sind vorzugsweise so anzuordnen, dass keine Teile der Elektronenstrahl-Vorrichtung im Strahlgang des Lasers liegen. Die Heizung per Elektronenstahl kann vor bzw. nach dem Laserstrahlschmelzen, oder auch kontinuierlich erfolgen, da Laser- und Elektronenstrahl sich nur wenig behindern und die Streustrahlung relativ gering ausfallen wird. For selective melting in the powder bed, a laser should be used, since with the laser smaller focal diameter and thus higher resolutions can be technically realized and thus the surface roughness of laser processing is lower. The laser and the laser optics are preferably to be arranged so that no parts of the electron beam device lie in the beam path of the laser. The heating by electron beam can be done before or after the laser beam melting, or continuously, since the laser and electron beam will interfere only slightly and the scattered radiation will be relatively low.
Der erfinderische Schritt liegt in der Verwendung eines Elektronenstrahls zum Vorheizen des Pulverbetts beim AM-Verfahren. Diese Vorheizung ist aufgrund des hervorragenden Wechselwirkungsquerschnitts und der guten Regelbarkeit des Elektronenstrahls bzgl. Form und Intensität den anderen Heizverfahren (IR-Heizung, resistive und induktive Heizung) überlegen. Da die Erzeugung eines Elektronenstrahls vergleichsweise einfach technisch realisierbar ist, können Strahl und damit Heizleistungen im kW-Bereich mit moderaten Kosten realisiert werden. The inventive step is to use an electron beam to preheat the powder bed in the AM process. This preheating is superior to the other heating methods (IR heating, resistive and inductive heating) due to the excellent interaction cross-section and the good controllability of the electron beam in terms of shape and intensity. Since the generation of an electron beam is relatively easy to implement technically, beam and thus heating power in the kW range can be realized with a moderate cost.
Zum Schmelzen wird ein gut fokussierbarer Laserstrahl verwendet. Auf diese Weise werden, entgegen heutiger Anordnungen, die Elektronenstrahlung und Laserstrahlung – ihren physikalischen Eigenschaften entsprechend – am effektivsten für die Vorwärmung und das Pulver-Strahlschmelzen eingesetzt. For melting, a well-focused laser beam is used. In this way, contrary to current arrangements, the electron beam and laser radiation - according to their physical properties - most effectively used for preheating and powder jet melting.
