The invention belongs to the related technical field of additive manufacturing, and discloses an
electron beam melting wire
liquid nitrogen copious cooling additive manufacturing method and
system.The method comprises the steps that in the
electron beam melting printing forming process,
liquid nitrogen is sprayed to a molten printing wire under
electron beam
irradiation, and the
liquid nitrogen is sprayed to the molten printing wire; the molten printing wires are subjected to nitridation reaction under the action of electron beams while being subjected to liquid
nitrogen cryogenic cooling, so that the
crystal structure of a formed part is regulated and controlled, and the mechanical performance is enhanced; and / or liquid
nitrogen is sprayed to the printing wire material which begins to be solidified, so that the printing wire material is subjected to liquid
nitrogen deep cooling, and the
crystal structure of the formed part is regulated and controlled to achieve
mechanical property enhancement.
Liquid nitrogen is introduced into the
electron beam additive manufacturing device for deep cooling, the extruded printing wire is solidified at an extremely high
cooling speed after being melted, a large number of homogeneous
nucleation sites are formed in a melting area due to the high
supercooling degree, the solidification speed is high, a
microstructure is customized into uniform and fine
equiaxed crystals, the strength and
toughness of the material are improved, and the production cost is reduced. The
mechanical property is improved.
