The invention relates to a device and a method for measuring a
friction coefficient of
powder for additive manufacturing, in particular to measurement of a
powder-
powder substrate
friction coefficient and measurement of a powder-substrate
friction coefficient. The device comprises a shell, a funnel, an
electric control valve, a
laser emitting device, a
laser receiving device, a powder scraping device, a powder laying device, a mechanical claw, a telescopic arm, a tension meter, an
electric control translation table, a measuring platform and a powder collecting
barrel. According to the invention, the components such as the
electric control valve, the
laser emitting and receiving device and the powder scraping device are adopted to measure the repose angle of the powder to be measured, so that automatic measurement of the powder-powder friction coefficient is realized; by controlling the mechanical claw to place the substrate, the powder laying device to lay the
powder bed and utilizing the tension meter to measure the
friction force, automatic measurement of the powder-substrate friction coefficient is realized, so that manual intervention is reduced, the
measurement precision is improved, the two measuring devices are integrated into a whole through the hydraulic device, and the device is simplified.
