Definitions

  • the present invention relates to additive manufacturing, and in particular, to heat treatment of powders used in additive manufacturing.
  • the surface of the powder can oxidize very quickly.
  • water can adsorb into the surface and adsorbs on the oxide.
  • the water adsorbed into the powder can cause voids in the formed end-material.
  • Methods of removing water from the additively manufactured materials can cause the formation of hydrogen in the end- material which can make the end-material more brittle.
  • Previous methods of removing adsorbed water from the metal powder during additive manufacturing include various methods of degassing.
  • Traditional methods of degassing involve the use of very low pressure vacuums and high temperatures. Complications can occur maintaining a very low pressure vacuum during the degassing. Additionally, traditional methods of high temperature heat treatment can cause unwanted sintering of the metallic powder.
  • a method includes introducing metallic powder into a fluidizing chamber of a fluidized bed reactor.
  • a fluidization gas is flowed into the fluidizing chamber.
  • the metallic powder becomes entrained in the flow of the fluidization gas.
  • Adsorbed water is removed from the metallic powder by exposing the metallic powder to the fluidization gas for a duration of time and at a treatment temperature to cause the adsorbed water to be removed from the metallic powder.
  • a system includes a fluidized bed reactor having a fluidizing chamber that receives a metallic powder.
  • a fluidization gas source connected to the fluidizing chamber provides a fluidization supply gas.
  • the fluidization supply gas flows into the fluidizing chamber causing the metallic powder to become suspended in the fluidization supply gas.
  • a heater maintains a temperature inside the fluidizing chamber sufficient to cause adsorbed water to be removed from the metallic powder.
  • the metallic powder is then used by an additive manufacturing apparatus to form objects.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic block diagram of a method incorporating the present invention.
  • FIG. 2A is a schematic, cross-sectional elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of a fluidized bed reactor in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2B is a schematic, cross-sectional elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of a fluidized bed reactor in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of an exemplary embodiment of a series of fluidized bed reactors in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a flow chart of cycle 10 for removing water from powder supply 12 prior to use of powder supply 12 in additive manufacturing apparatus 14.
  • Cycle 10 includes combining new powder 16 with reclaimed powder 18 to form powder supply 12.
  • Powder supply 12 is moved into fluidized bed reactor 20 to prepare powder supply 12 for additive manufacturing apparatus 14.
  • part 24 is separated 22 from residual powder 26.
  • Residual powder 26 is reclaimed from additive manufacturing apparatus 14 and becomes reclaimed powder 18.
  • Reclaimed powder 18 is then recombined with powder supply 12 to be reused in cycle 10.
  • Fluidized bed reactor 20 is used to prepare powder supply 12 in additive manufacturing apparatus 14. Fluidized bed reactor 20 prepares powder supply 12 by fluidizing powder supply 12 and applying a heat treatment to powder supply 12. Combining fluidization and heat treatment of powder supply 12 allows for an effective process to remove adsorbed water from powder supply 12. Fluidizing powder supply 12 suspends the particles in fluidization gas 34 and separates the individual particles of powder supply 12 from one another. During the application of the heat treatment, the particles of powder supply 12 are prevented from sintering because the particles of powder supply 12 are not in close proximity to each other. The use of fluidized bed reactor 20 provides an improvement over traditional methods of degassing due to the static nature of un-fluidized particles of powder supply 12 and their close proximity to other particles. With traditional methods, the close proximity of the particles of powder supply 12 can cause sintering of powder supply 12 as powder supply 12 is heat treated.
  • FIG. 2A shows a schematic, cross-sectional elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of fluidized bed reactor 20 in accordance with the present invention.
  • Fluidized bed reactor 20 includes fluidizing chamber 28. Un-fluidized powder 30 is introduced into fluidizing chamber 28. Before a fluidizing process begins, un-fluidized powder 30 rests on the bottom of fluidizing chamber 28.
  • FIG. 2B shows a schematic, cross-sectional elevation view of an exemplary embodiment of fluidized bed reactor 20 in accordance with the present invention.
  • the un- fluidized powder 30 of FIG. 2A becomes fluidized powder 32 when fluidization gas 34 is introduced into fluidizing chamber 28.
  • Fluidized powder 32 becomes suspended in fluidization gas 34 as fluidization gas 34 is introduced through fluidizing chamber 28.
  • Fluidization gas 34 enters fluidizing chamber 28 through feed line 36 at the bottom of fluidized bed reactor 20.
  • Thermocouple 38 is located in fluidizing chamber 28. Thermocouple 38 controls the temperature inside of fluidizing chamber 28 to provide a reaction temperature sufficient to cause any adsorbed water to be removed from fluidized powder 32.
  • Fluidization gas 34 is introduced into fluidization chamber 28 at flow rate 40. The presence of fluidization gas 34 also aids in drawing adsorbed water from of fluidized powder 32.
  • Fluidization gas 34 can include nitrogen, or any other dry gas. Fluidization gas 34 exits fluidizing chamber 28 through exit line 41.
  • Removing adsorbed water from fluidized powder 32 prevents voids in the end- material created during the additive manufacturing process.
  • Using fluidized bed reactor 20 also prevents sintering of un-fluidized powder 30.
  • the particles of fluidized powder 32 are not touching each other in a static location as they are in un-fluidized powder 30.
  • un-fluidized powder 30 is heated, the particles of un-fluidized powder 30 can sinter due to their relative proximity to each other and the high temperature heat in fluidizing chamber 28.
  • the particles of fluidized powder 32 are not resting closely proximate to other particles of fluidized powder 32, thus reducing the occurrence of sintering fluidized powder 32 when the temperature of fluidizing chamber 28 is raised.
  • Fluidized bed reactor 20 of the present invention can be used for high temperature annealing to allow for heating to substantially high temperatures without sintering of fluidized powder 32.
  • the use of fluidized bed reactor 20 also obviates the complications involved with maintaining a very low pressure vacuum used with traditional degassing methods.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic, cross-sectional view of an exemplary embodiment of fluidized bed reactor 20 in accordance with the present invention.
  • Fluidized bed reactor 20 includes first fluidizing chamber 28 A, second fluidizing chamber 28B, and third fluidizing chamber 28C.
  • First fluidizing chamber 28A is fluidly connected to second fluidizing chamber 28B by first connection line 44.
  • Second fluidizing chamber 28B is fluidly connected to third fluidizing chamber 28C by second connection line 46.
  • First thermocouple 38A is located in first fluidizing chamber 28A
  • second thermocouple 38B is located in second fluidizing chamber 28B
  • third thermocouple 38C is located in third fluidizing chamber 28C.
  • Fluidization gas 34 exits fluidizing chamber 28C through exit line 41.
  • first fluidizing chamber 28 A the flow rates of fluidization gas 34 are controlled in each of first fluidizing chamber 28 A, second fluidizing chamber 28B, and third fluidizing chamber 28C in order to classify certain sizes of fluidized powder 32.
  • First flow rate 40 A, second flow rate 40B, and third flow rate 40C of fluidization gas 34 are selected in each of first fluidizing chamber 28 A, second fluidizing chamber 28B, and third fluidizing chamber 28C to entrain first powder particles 50A, second powder particles 50B, and third powder particles 50C respectively.
  • a large first flow rate 50A of fluidization gas 34 is introduced in first fluidizing chamber 28A such that larger first powder particles 50A become suspended in fluidization gas 34.
  • First flow rate 40A is controlled by first flow controller 48 A.
  • Second powder particles 50B and third powder particles 50C are carried in first flow rate 40A of fluidization gas 16 out of first fluidizing chamber 28 A through first connection line 44 and into second fluidizing chamber 28B.
  • An example of the size of first powder particles 50A suspended in first fluidizing chamber 28A would be of a size greater than 100 micrometers.
  • Second flow rate 40B of fluidization gas 34 is introduced into second fluidizing chamber 28B.
  • second powder particles 50B become suspended in fluidization gas 34.
  • Third powder particles 50C being smaller than second powder particles 50B, are carried out of second fluidizing chamber 28B through second connection line 46 and into third fluidizing chamber 28C.
  • Second flow controller 48B controls the second flow rate 40B of fluidization gas 34 entering into second fluidizing chamber 28B.
  • An example of the size of second powder particles 50B suspended in second fluidizing chamber 28B would range in sizes between 100 micrometers and 50 micrometers.
