Problems solved by technology

The invention patent with the authorized notification number CN104889392A discloses a method of additive manufacturing of pure tungsten metal. This method uses laser as the energy source to melt and form tungsten powder. Due to the limited laser energy, it is necessary to use remelting to ensure that the tungsten powder is fully Melting greatly affects the forming efficiency, and the tungsten powder is easily spheroidized during the melting process, resulting in limited density of tungsten metal parts

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for electron beam selective melting and forming of pure tungsten metal parts. In the method, a three-dimensional model of the pure tungsten metal part is firstly established by software and sliced ​​to obtain slice data, and then according to the slice data of the three-dimensional model Electron beams are used to melt tungsten powder into selected areas to obtain pure tungsten metal parts. The invention uses electron beams to melt tungsten powder into shape, which improves the energy of the heat source, ensures complete melting of tungsten powder with high melting point, avoids spheroidization during the melting process of tungsten powder, and separates the forming bottom plate and tungsten powder before scanning the melting selection area. The high-temperature preheating treatment of the powder reduces the temperature gradient during the forming process of pure tungsten metal parts, slows down the cooling rate of the micro-melt pool, avoids the spheroidization of tungsten powder droplets caused by rapid cooling, and reduces the spheroidization of pure tungsten metal parts. Cracking greatly improves the forming quality of pure tungsten metal parts and increases the density of pure tungsten metal parts.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of material preparation, and in particular relates to an electron beam selective melting forming method for pure tungsten metal parts. Background technique [0002] As an important metal material, tungsten has the characteristics of high melting point, high boiling point, high hardness, low expansion coefficient, low vapor pressure, etc. It is widely used in aerospace, electronics, chemical industry, nuclear industry and other fields. Due to the high melting point and low temperature brittleness of tungsten, it is difficult to prepare parts using conventional casting and machining methods. At present, most tungsten parts are prepared by powder metallurgy. The tungsten products obtained by this method have disadvantages such as low density, low strength, poor plasticity, and difficult to control impurity content, which greatly limits the application range. In addition, it is difficult to prepare tungsten par...
