The invention provides an automobile
brake caliper manufacturing method based on a
selective laser melting additive
manufacturing technology, which comprises the following steps: carrying out structural region division on a three-dimensional digital model, and formulating an SLM process parameter strategy of a structural region, the SLM process parameter strategy comprising adjustment of
laser power, scanning speed, scanning spacing and
powder layer thickness; according to a three-dimensional digital model of the
brake calipers and an SLM process parameter strategy, additive
powder is laid in a
powder bed of SLM equipment, the surface of the
powder bed is scanned layer by layer through high-power-density
laser beams, powder particles are selectively melted,
laser energy density input is controlled, thermophysical characteristics of powder materials are matched,
microstructure evolution is controlled, and the
brake calipers are manufactured. And after one layer is melted and solidified, the
powder bed descends by the height of one
layer thickness, a new powder layer is spread out, the process is circulated till additive manufacturing of the brake
calipers is completed, and the effects of being light in weight, high in structural strength and good in heat dissipation effect are achieved.
