Problems solved by technology

[0004] (1) The burning process of powder during transportation and interaction with heat source can easily lead to low powder utilization rate, only 20%-30%
[0005] (2) There is dust pollution, which is harmful to the environment and the health of workers
[0006] (3) The powder feeding process has high requirements on the shape and particle size of the powder. Only powder with a particle size close to the round shape can obtain a relatively stable powder feeding process. When using nanomaterials, due to the high agglomeration and adsorption properties of the material itself, The powder is often adsorbed on the tube wall causing the failure of the powder feeding process
[0007] (4) The response effect of the adjustment of the powder feeding amount is poor, and it takes a certain response time from the adjustment of the feeding amount to the powder output of the nozzle
[0009] (1) Wire drawing is performed using wire manufacturing equipment that requires a relatively high cost
[0010] (2) Metal alloys with poor plasticity are difficult to manufacture into wires
[0011] (3) Poor adaptability to position when adding wire, generally only applicable to horizontal position
[0012] (4) Wire metal is difficult to melt, requires a high energy density heat source, and the coordination between the heat source and wire feeding is strictly required, and problems such as sticking wire and jacking wire are prone to occur
At present, slurry materials are mainly used in metal powder injection molding technology, but this technology is to first inject the slurry into the mold to form, and then degrease and sinter the formed material to manufacture metal parts; it has higher requirements on the injection equipment, and Forming of parts still requires the help of molds
However, the research on the application of slurry materials to the additive manufacturing of three-dimensional metal parts has not yet been carried out, and there are no related reports proposing or performing similar work.

Embodiment Construction

[0041] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0042] Such as figure 1 Shown here is a method for additive manufacturing of metal parts with slurry feeding of the present invention. The IPG fiber laser heat source is used to place the laser welding gun and slurry nozzle on the welding ABB robot arm. The slurry nozzle is in front and the laser heat source is in Rear. The specific steps are:

[0043] (1) First, ball mill the required metal powder, preferably high-energy ball milling, and the particle size of the metal powder after ball milling is between 100 nm and 100 μm;

[0044] (2). The metal powder and the binder are blended according to the mass ratio of 20:1 to 1:1. Choose the following combination of binder: polyvinyl butyral resin (mass fraction 1%-20%), polyethylene glycol (mass fraction 1%-20%), the balance is alcohol;

[0045] (3). Then the material obtained in step (2) and the organic solve...

Abstract

The invention discloses a slurry feeding type metal part material increase manufacturing method. The method comprises the steps that metal powder, binders and organic solvents are mixed together to form a solid-liquid two-phase slurry material, and slurry is taken as adding materials for material increase manufacturing; the slurry is sent out through a slurry feeding device, a heat source is adopted to conduct heating on the slurry material, fusion between layers of the slurry is achieved, and metal parts are formed by overlaying melt layers of the slurry layer by layer. By means of the slurry feeding type metal part material increase manufacturing method, the problems existing in powder feeding type and wire feeding type metal material increase manufacturing are solved, and advantages of the powder feeding type and the wire feeding type metal material increase manufacturing are synthesized, so that the slurry feeding type metal part material increase manufacturing method has the advantages that the material manufacturing cost is low, the material utilization is over 90%, requirements for the shape and the size of powder are low, powder pollution does not exist, the adding materials are stable and controllable, and the applicability is strong. The invention further discloses the slurry feeding device of the metal part material increase manufacturing method.
