The invention discloses an in-situ energy controlled
selective laser melting device and method. According to the in-situ energy controlled
selective laser melting device and method, a path of synchronously scanned flat-topped large
light spot is additionally arranged, energy below a
powder melting point threshold value is provided, the
powder preheating / solidification rate is regulated and controlled, formed
metal is annealed, the
temperature gradient is reduced, and the forming
internal stress is reduced, so that behaviors such as deformation and
cracking caused by stress are reduced; and meanwhile, due to the fact that energy input lower than the
melting point threshold value of a material is provided, material melting can be completed only by providing low energy input for original SLMsmall light spots, and the
adverse conditions of
molten pool splashing, micro air hole generation and the like are improved. In addition, time and space distribution of
laser energy is realized basedon an in-situ
energy control mode. Therefore, according to the method, defects generated in the part forming process are effectively reduced, meanwhile, the solidification rate is controlled, the structure evolution is regulated and controlled, and the method plays an important role in stably and efficiently forming high-performance parts and promoting wide application of the additive
manufacturing technology.
