Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of additive manufacturing, and in particular relates to a three-dimensional heating system for laser selective melting electromagnetic induction. Background technique [0002] Selective laser melting (SLM) is one of the research hotspots in the field of additive manufacturing technology, especially in the direct forming of metal parts, which has great research and application value. In recent years, the quality and efficiency of SLM metal forming have continued to improve However, the existence of residual stress in SLM metal forming parts is still a problem. [0003] In laser selective melting metal forming, due to the extremely high laser energy density, the metal powder has experienced a process of rapid heating, melting and sudden cooling and solidification during processing. The data shows that the cooling rate of the molten metal pool can reach 10 5 K / s, this extremely high cooling rate is the main fa...

Problems solved by technology

However, there are still some problems that have not been solved. For example, when preheating the powder, due to the poor thermal conductivity of the powder, it is easy to cause a large temperature difference of the powder, and after the powder passes through the powder spreading process, the heat loss of the powder is large, so the powder preheating effect is poor. The utilization rate is low; in the process of preheating (heating) the forming platform, the temperature in the SLM processing area is rel
