Embodiment

[0035] like figure 1 shown. The invention discloses a protective gas preheating device for 3D printing, which includes a protective cover 3, a vacuum preheating chamber 81 arranged in the protective cover 3, and an air inlet 1 respectively arranged at one end of the vacuum preheating chamber 81 and the gas outlet 9 at the other end; the vacuum preheating chamber 81 is provided with two gas heating passages 13 with the same structure; the gas enters the gas heating passage 13 from the air inlet 1 and enters the vacuum preheating chamber 81 after being heated. Then enter the molding chamber through the air outlet 9. The gas generally refers to an inert gas.

[0036] In the gas heating channel 13, there are a plurality of electric heating columns 6 spaced apart from each other and arranged in an array; the axes of the electric heating columns 6 are perpendicular to the gas flow direction; the gas entering the gas heating channel 13 is heated by the electric heating columns 6 T...

Abstract

The invention discloses a protective gas preheating method and a device for 3D printing. The device comprises a protective cover, and a vacuum preheating cavity arranged in the protective cover; two gas heating channels with the same structure are arranged in the vacuum preheating cavity; gas enters the gas heating channels from an intake port for heating to enter the vacuum preheating cavity, and enters a molding chamber from an exhaust port; and each gas heating channel is divided into two sub channels for gradient heating. The structure increases paths of inert gas entering the vacuum preheating cavity, and uses a gradient heating method for enabling the heated inert gas to be more stable, so that the temperature difference of a laser scanning area and the gas in the molding chamber is reduced; and meanwhile, the secondarily heated inert gas can continuously preheat metal powder on inner surface layers of a molding cylinder and a powder cylinder, so that the temperature difference in the layers and between the layers is largely reduced, the thermal stress is reduced, and the residual stress and deformation in the SLM molding process are reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of laser selective melting metal 3D printing (SLM), in particular to a protective gas preheating method and device for 3D printing. Background technique [0002] 3D printing technology, also known as additive manufacturing technology, has changed the traditional manufacturing mode. Laser selective melting (SLM) technology is a kind of metal 3D printing. Its forming principle is to discretize the designed three-dimensional model into layer-by-layer contour information, control the laser beam to scan the metal powder to form a melting channel, and the melting channels overlap to form layers. , stacked layer by layer to form a three-dimensional metal part. Compared with traditional manufacturing technology, one of the outstanding advantages of SLM technology is that it can almost directly form functional parts with any complex structure and complete metallurgical bonding, and the density can reach nearly 100%....
