Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, the above-mentioned forming method using a simple laser beam as a heat source for melting and depositing metal materials has the following disadvantages: 1. the processing efficiency is low: when the Nd:YAG laser is used, and the laser power is 3-12KW, the powder deposition rate is only 15- 40g / min (taking iron-based alloys as an example); ② Due to the large temperature gradient between the laser molten pool and the substrate, large residual stress is caused, resulting in deformation and cracking of parts, which has become a bottleneck restricting the application of this technology; ③ Due to the "thermal Accumulation effect", the thermal process between different deposition layers is different, resulting in uneven structure and mechanical properties, affecting its performance; ④ Due to its low processing efficiency and high cost, it is mainly used in military and aerospace fields, and is mainly used for Manufacturing small and medium parts
But its disadvantages are: ①The deposit layer is easy to produce pores, the structure is not dense, and subsequent thermal processing is required; ②It is mainly suitable for the forming of non-ferrous metals with low melting point such as aluminum alloy, copper alloy and magnesium alloy.
But its disadvantages are: ①The process is complicated, and the original mold needs to be made; ②The parts have large porosity, and the powder is easy to oxidize; ③The mechanical properties of the parts are worse than those of SF and DLF
[0008] The above shortcomings limit the application of SF and PSF processes in the forming of high-performance large and medium-sized parts
